Body problems of the 2000 Dodge Ram Van

Hvac dripping into right frame horn causing severe rust affecting steering linkage, and loss of vehicle control. No appropriate drain tube to route moisture away from frame was installed at the factory. Very dangerous!.

The frame horns {left and right} developed cracks on all four sides ahead of the front wheels leading to the detachment of the steering arm and stabilizer bar resulting in little to no control of the vehicle. While the detachment is not fully complete it only through the extremely weakened connections that remain that an accident was avoided. The vehicle was brought to a stop as soon the loss of control was experienced and has been parked since. It is cannot be operated safely in the this condition. The failed frame is the source of the driveability and safety issues. The vehicle was traveling northbound on a 4 lane divided road when the loss of control manifested.

While coming back from some errands as I pulled into my driveway I heard a big snap on my front end and bang and scrapping on pavement as soon as I stopped to look the whole piece of the stabilizer bar fell off the front end chassis and as I looked on front end I noticed heavy corrosion on drivers side where steering box is located as of now vehicle is very unsafe to drive any where there is heavy corrosion this vehicle"s front end. I just recently bought this car from town and country used auto dealer in abington massachusetts I need van because it is handicap edition I have a handicap son who is wheel chair bond and now stuck with a corrosion problem on the front end of vehicle need pictures or video I will send to you thank you.

I have not had an incident, but I am concerned with my vehicle. I have a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 van conversion. My concern is that, with the con versions with large bay windows. I feel that the passengers have no protection whatsoever with side impact accidents. Could your organization investigate these before reports of fatalities start coming in.
