What owners wrote
While trying to get into the van, driver fell down against a metal strip that was flat against vehicle due to no support (no step to be used / handle to grab). Vehicle was a rental.
The strut tower on the driver's side of my 1999 dodge caravan has completely rusted out, causing the strut to burst through into the engine compartment below the windshield. A auto body repair man said this is a very serious structural and safety issue. In researching a fix for this problem, I discovered that hundreds of dodge caravan, town and country, and plymouth voyager models were susceptible to this dangerous engineering failure.
