Power Steering Fluid problem

I was driving down the road when all of a sudden I had no control of my steering. I stopped and checked the reservoir and notice no fluid. I was able to make it another block and put more fluid in the steering pump. I made it home by adding more fluid. I looked under the vehicle and notice a steal line was leaking the fluid. I took the line off and notice that they had installed it at a very bad location which had cause the leak the line had rubbed against another line and had a hole in it. It appears it had been improperly placed on the vehicle. , the line cannot be purchase replaced this model was discontinued in 2009. Their are no parts for this the model vehicle. I talked to dealer and he said they will haft to replaced it with a new Dodge steering unit. This will cost and thousands of dollars. This is a faulty product and the dealer should replace this because of the safety issued and faulty product.
