    We have 99 Grand Caravan. Recently we had to replace a rusted oil pan.
    Has anyone else had such a problem?

    Common as dirt.

    Really? Is this a problem with Chryslers only?

    No, it is also common on Ford and GM.
    I have replaced the oil pan on my 1990 Aerostar 3.0, 1988 New Yorker
    3.0, and 1996 Pontiac TransSport 3.8
    I have also had to replace pans on Toyotas, Mazdas, and many others
    over the years. Seams to be a lot more of a problem in the last 10
    years than it was 30 years ago - likely due to lighter metal.

    What do you do, drive over curbs and scratch and bang them all up? I
    live in a place where road salt is heavily used PA/NY and have never had
    an oil pan rust badly.

    Nope - no physical damage. Just rust. Up here in Ontario, "heavy salt
    usage" in Pa and Ny is juat a light sprinkle of salt up here.

    They generally l;eak at the spot welds where the baffles are
    installed.. But not always - sometimes right in the middle of a
    flat(usually upright) area.
