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.
Vehicle is unsafe to drive, frame around steering components very rusty.

The front frames rot out on steering side and it isnt 1 of them it is almost all of them. Toyota recalled tacomas for this and I want my frame fixed or replaced. This happens early in the life of the vehicles. They have almost gotten away with it . But these are still on the road and could kill people . They need to buy the ones that are still on the road or trade for safe vans or trucks. The service life of these were cut short and almost every junkyard has these and they all look good but they arent safe. They need to clean up their mess and take them backto be held accountable as they cant be repaired . I think the drain holes in the frames were in the wrong place or not there at all .

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.
Vehicle was supposed to be a three quater tone vehicle, but after further review consumer found out that vehicle was half tone. When contacting dealer, dealer noted that they knew about it. It was manufactured that way because of better handling.
