I am experiencing corrosion penetration of the driver's side strut tower on my 2000 chrysler town and country limited minivan. The body of the van including the passenger side strut tower is absent of any corrosion. I just became aware of a service bulletin chrysler issued on october 14, 2002 for correcting this problem (bulletin # 23-044-02). It seems apparent to me that chrysler has been aware of this issue for some time and should have as a minimum alerted owners to this potential problem before it magnified itself. I believe chrysler now should incur the cost for repair of this obvious defect.

Not knowing how fast your driving can be dangerous. I've been having this problem with my van starting way back in september 2001 with 13,000 miles on it and am still having the same problem. The problem is the ABS light comes on all the time, dashboard lights flicker, the speedometer, odometer and RPM's randomly go up and down and sometimes don't work at all. They have tried to fix this problem many times, it has been in the shop sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. They have replaced the computer, harness (twice), ignition switch, fuses, etc. They just had it last week and today I still have the same problem. Basically it is an electrical problem. By the way, I have been taking it to a chrysler shop in nanuet, ny. I called the chrysler customer service 800 number and they said basically all that they could do is to try to help the service center get the right information to help them fix it. But again, they just had the car last week after I called and the problem is still here. I have had to rent cars and borrow cars to use while it has been in the shop. I really hasn't cost me all that much money because they are fixing it (trying to fix it) under warranty. I've only had rental car expenses. The big inconvenience is getting the car to the shop, etc... It has been very frustrating to say the least.
Vehicle leaf spring has weakened causing the rear of vehicle to sit at an angle. Problems with front wheels and brakes. *mr the dealer was unable to repair the re-occurring problem with the front brakes, and the rotors. The front wheels and or brakes were squeaking again, which meant that new front brakes were needed again.

Other problems are as followed: the left rear shock had blown and a bolt had broken on the right shock and were replaced,the brake light would come on when going around corners, the rear view mirror was loose along with the right side mirror(both readjusted), noise in the steering and was hard to steer at times, there was a metal sound in the front strut especially when the temperature was cold, and there was overheating so the all the parts of the cooling system were replaced.
