Purchased a few weeks ago from a dealer. The steering became noticeably 'off' and sporadic while driving. Took to a few shops and says the gram is cracked in the front and the wheel is separating from the car.

What 2001 Dodge Ram Wagon owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The passenger side front end structural frame rusted completely through such that the welded on tie rod connection bracket fell away from the frame. Similar rust condition on driver's side but not at risk of same yielding. However, this frame failure of what appears to be two 1/4" plate c-formed members welded together should not corrode through like this after only 10 years. Vehicle operated in michigan winters a contributing factor, I'm sure. Even so, my wife was only going 20 MPH when the frame broke. Could have been worse. Dodge customer service response was basically "so what" as they simply pointed to the manufacturer's warranty expiring.
I have a 2001 dodge passenger van the ignition is screwing up. I turn the key and sometimes my radio,power windows,blinkers wipers don't come on I can jiggle the key and everything comes on. I have a friend that had this replaced at no charge I was wondering is this a recall item.
