2001 DODGE RAM VAN 1500 HAS MAJOR FRAME ROT ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FRAME GOING TO BUMPER. TO REPAIR IT WOULD BE COSTLY AND WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A MECHANIC TOLD ME IF IT BREAKS WE WILL LOSE STEERING CONTROL. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME ON OTHER RAM VANS ALSO. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE VAN HAS 169,000 MILES AND IS A CONVERSION VAN.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CARFAX SHOWED THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GREENWOOD SC TO GET RECALL FIXED. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT YET. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK 3 MONTHS, AND STILL NO WORD ON GETTING IT FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR THE WEEKEND IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON MONDAY MORNING ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK THE TRUCK STARTED CRANKING OVER. THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED AND THE KEYS WERE INSIDE MY HOUSE. BEING A STANDARD WHILE IT WAS CRANKING IT WAS HEADING IN REVERSE. NO VISUAL FLAMES WERE SEEN BUT HEAVY WHITE SMOKE WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAD TO USE MANUAL KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND PUT TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, I THEN ROLLED THE TRUCK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN UNHOOKED THE 2 BATTERIES AND SMOKING STOPPED. AFTER THINGS CLEARED I COULD SEE BURNT/MELTED PLUG ENDS FROM WIRING HARNESS TO FUSE BOX. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR (6) WEEKS NOW. END OF WEEK 5 THEY GOT IT TO START UP BUT NOTHING ON THE COMPUTER PAST THE FIREWALL READS. TO DATE THEY HAVE REPLACED (3) WIRING HARNESSES, THE FUSE BOX AND A CLUSTER AND STILL AT A LOSS AT WHY COMPUTER WILL NOT READ ANYTHING. AS OF TODAY THE ENTIRE INTERIOR IS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THEY ARE CHECKING EVERY CONNECTION, RELAY AND WHAT EVER ELSE THEY CAN TO GET IT FIXED. THERE WAS ALSO AN INSPECTOR THRU CHRYSLER CARE WHO INVESTIGATED IT BEFORE WORK WAS STARTED. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TO OPEN AN INSURANCE CLAIM. THANKS FOR THE HELP.
