What owners wrote
The strut tower did not fail at this time and no person was killed or injured, also no damage has occured. But I would like to report that the strut tower is rusting thru on the front right side of the mini van. If this should rust completly through while the mini van is moving at highway speeds, the driver could experience total loss of control and that could lead to serious injury and property damage including death of up to seven occupants of the minivan.
While driving 35 MPH front end failed. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified,but did not resolve the problem.
