Steering Is Tight problem #1

Steering was very hard to do and really jerky. Took it to dealership and was told that the rack and pin needed to be completely corroded and needed to be replaced. Yet another part I have to eat the cost due to corrosion. I have read multiple complaints about the same problems. Why is nothing being done?.

Steering problem #2

Less than 80k miles and frame is completely rotting apart. While driving approximately 40 mph I lost control because the control arm completely separated from the frame! completely unsafe and death traps.
