Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1998 dodge caravan (current mileage 108,000 miles) has severe corrosion around the top to the driver's side strut tower. it was first noticed by a mechanic last summer, but has since accelerated quickly and looks like a safety risk should the tower collapse into the engine compartment. i am concerned about any sudden failure. there is very mild corrosion in the same top area of the other strut tower. i was told by a dodge dealer in st. paul that chrysler was covering all or portions of select tower repairs. when i contacted chrysler today i was advised that this problem was not a subject of recall and, therefore, not covered whatsoever. i did find considerable info on this problem at an internet site called allpar.com which was quite helpful. *jb
