Recently reported STEERING problems on 2001 Kia Optima

Got in car to go home noticed car steering was terrible as if i was on ice in the middle of sept. got out to see if i was experiencing a flat tire noticed the two front tires weren't lined up correctly. after getting to a garage and having the two front tires removed it was found that the front subframe on passenger side of car had rusted and broken!!!! it needed replaced. i haven't been able to do so as of yet :( something needs to be done about all these 2001 optimas that are still on the street in desperate need of recall. i could of easily have wrecked and injured myself or someone else.
