| This is a common problem with the 1998 - 2000 dodge caravan/voyagers. the housing unit that houses the struts, most times on the left, driver's side rusts and corrodes, causing the strut to break through. at this point, the driver could hit a bump, (this has happened to some people) and the strut can actually break through the dashboard or windshield while driving! currently, on my vehicle, the strut has broken through the housing unit. it is approximately $300 to fix. this is a known problem with chrysler, and they have created a kit to fix the problem. due to this fact, there should have been a safety recall; or at least provide monetary assistance to correct the problem. commonly the minivans are purchased to transport families. this is an accident waiting to happen, which could either permanently disable someone, or even worse could be fatal. | |||
