general problems of the 1997 Dodge Ram 1500

"takata recall" todays date 4-29-2016,I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 and I would like to know all the recalls on this truck. I have a few problems coming on with my truck. Im needing a replacement air intake system its called engine and engine cooling. Suddenly I felt some shaking in front tires. I still don't know what it was but my steering pump with out and now the steering gear box. Everytime im finish working on one problem the next is right behind. My dash board is fall apart. Dash board is all in pieces. Getting worst and worst everyday. Last problem my air bag blew out and busted in my face. My truck was parked when it happened with the air bags,but I was driving down the road when the power steering with out. Please help me get my recalls on my truck and thank you so much.

I had been driving my 1997 Ram 1500 4x4 truck, I stop the vehicle, shut off the engine, opened the driver's door and started to step out of the vehicle. As I was half way out of the vehicle the driver's airbag went off, hitting my right shoulder as it deployed. I am very lucky it did not deploy a second sooner. I wadded the bag up and taped the steering wheel back together, I guess the is nothing else I can do. I worry now about my father, whom has a 1995 Ram 1500 4x4 truck. I looked up online and I see that only the 2003 Ram 1500 and newer trucks fall into the recall, but what are the chances that my father's truck might do the same thing as mine did last week, with his being 2 years older even.

I have a 97 Dodge ram that started cracking around 2004 and has steadily gotten worse and worse. As a result I have a terrible looking interior and I believe my electrical problems are a testament of the dashboards exposing my electrical wiring to the sun. The only way to halfway fix it I've found is to mount formica squares(not cheap mind you) over the wholes with mounting squares, though it looks terrible. My electrical problems are but are not limited power door locks that only unlock the driver side door and power windows that only work half the time and a cupholder that has fallen out on more than one occasion and caused me to rig back into place. Of course besides inconvenience of having a lousy dash that sticks out like a sore on a usually sound truck, I am afraid of the other problems it can bring I. E. : worse electrical failures and the possibility of an airbag deploying when it's not supposed to or not deploying when there is need.
