Carrier/rack problems of the 2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

I was making a right hand turn from a main road onto a side street. While the car was turning, I heard a clunk and the steering wheel was jerked from my hands. The car pulled hard to the right and crashed into the curb. The car was towed to the repair shop and the service tech showed me the engine cradle was completely rusted out and the k frame was cracked all the way thru. It's to rusted to be welded and I was told this is a common problem with the cruiser and Dodge neon, since they use the same frame. The tech also told me I was lucky that I wasn't moving at high speed or the results could have been fatal. He also told me that chysler is aware of this problem, they are completely out of replacement parts, and they basically ignore any complaints.

I was not initially going to file a complaint until I seen others with the same problem. The dash cracked into many pieces. I originally thought that my wife had done something to crack the dash, and she thought that I had. The part remained basically intact until the service department at the local Chrysler dealer had to remove the dash for other repairs. At that time we had to pay for another dash because it fell completely apart and could not be re-assembled. I am not sure if this is exactly a highway traffic safety concern, but only because there was not an accident, nor an incident.

Dashboard started cracking and continued to crack from windshield area all the way down to bottom,then another crack started and did the same. These dashboards arent made properly and both cracks are on the passenger side. Im afraid the airbag will deploy someday. My wife has a Chrysler 300m 1999 and she has the same problem with her dashboard.
