1997 Plymouth Voyager body problems

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS

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.
