Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Over the last several months i've noticed a significant difference in the performance of our mini-van. while i had my truck at the mechanics last week, i popped the hood to our van and had him take a look at it. his response to what he saw was terrifying! the tower that supports the strut on the front/driver's side of the van is completely rusted. according to the mechanic, the auto body shop person we consulted, and according to the dealership this is not normal deterioration for a vehicle that is only 8 years old. we were told that chrysler will do nothing to assist us in the problem because our vehicle is no longer under manufacturer's warranty, although they also agreed that it was not typical for a vehicle to have this happen. right now we're a family of 5 with one income and cannot afford a $1200+ repair to a vehicle that was apparently flawed from the get-go.*ak
