Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 dodge ram 2500 pickup. front tie rod ends, spindles, axles are all covered with rust after only 2 months. i am afraid these parts will rust through and cause loss of steering. if the tie rods rust through, you will have no steering. if the spindle rusts through, you will lose a wheel. either of these scenarios can kill. the inside rear view mirror seems to be smaller than normal. it does not provide full coverage of a rear view. does this mirror meet legal requirements? the rear seat has no head restraints. i thought trucks were supposed to have rear seat head restraints after model year 1990. am i wrong on this? *jb
