Dt*: the contact stated when the vehicle was taken in for a state inspection; the mechanic noticed the driver side strut tower was badly corroded. The mechanic expressed that the vehicle would probably not pass inspection the next time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who contacted the manufacturer to check for recalls. The vehicle was not involved in any recalls. The service dealer also suggested that the contact should file a complaint with the manufacturer.

The strut towers of 2000 Chrysler Voyager are completely rusted out. If they break apart it will likely break through the hood or windshield causing serious accident and or injuries we were told by bloomington Chrysler (the dealership where we purchased the vehicle) it would be $1000.00 to repair. They told me they have repaired over 30 similar vehicles just this summer 2009 with same problem.
Observed that the driver's side strut tower is rusted through two layers of metal and perforated over half the way around front top of the strut tower. Vehicle has little other body rust except this shock / strut tower area and there needs to be a safety recall to repair this defective item before further abnormal corrosion causes the metal to fail and forcing the strut through the hood and into the windshield of the vehicle causing an accident or injuries.

No one was hurt in the accident when I hit a piece of metal in the road. The object tore off a body frame member and then punctured the plastic fuel tank. Gas was leaking everywhere. I can not believe that anyone would place a plastic fuel tank directly in the path of a front wheel drive vehicle. The front wheels being drive wheels tend to propel objects back at the tanks. Conversations with mechanics have informed me that over time the tank will eventually start to leak from the stones that will be thrown back from the fromt wheel. I recentlly read in the local paper where a Ford minivan with a plastic fuel tank devloped a lead while traveling on a local road and had to be towed. It is even ore amazing to me that these systems that are designed to fail and will impact the environment in a negative way are legal. …
1989 Plymouth Voyager left and right front towers are consumed by corrosion exposing the mcpherson strut assemblies and severely weakening the load bearing structure causing serious risk of strut tower failure as on or both struts will penetrate into the engine compartment causing the front of the vehicle to drop to the ground. Should such failure occur while the vehicle is in motion at highways speeds, loss of vehicle control will result, causing serious injury or death. This is a known defect covered by Chrysler corporation in a technical service bulletin (TSB) labeling the problem as merely cosmetic.
Strut towers are corroded to the point you can see through the top off the strut tower halfway around the top. There is numerous complaints of this and if I had not been informed of this it would have lead to a failure of the strut support. I am concerned that this has not been addressed previously. I called the manufacture and they are aware of the problem although they are not willing to repair it at their costs. Please just do a search of the internet. You will find this is a issue that requires immediate attention in order to save lives or injuries.
1. The rear hatch leaked upon delivery. Three attempts were made to put some king of sealant on the exterior to prevent leakage. Some water damage to interior was never fixed. 2. Air bag light on due to clock spring failure. Waited for almost two years for Chrysler to issue recall while problem was being investigated by NHTSA. 3. Transmission failure at 115,800km. Estimated $1,800 to repair at transmission shop.
