1) my wife was driving home on the interstate and the van was performing beautifully. 2) when almost home and approaching the off ramp there were 2 cars in front of her.

2000-dodge grand caravan-the driver's side front shock tower is rusting. We feel this is a framing and structural part of the car. It shouldn't be rusting like this. The manufacturer has many back orders for fixing this problem. Which shows that it is a major defect in manufacturing. They should be replacing this at their cost.
