Multiple codes, read discription

Dodge Dakota 2001 Truck 195000 miles
Ok so 01 dakota with the 3.9, in the images yall can see all the codes that pop up, doing a bit of research my self iv learned that durring this time dodge put the O2 sensors and the trans sensors on the same circuitry so if theres an issue with one then theres an issue with the other. Now in my research I was told that it might not be actual hardware but a bad wire or ground. The symptoms I get with all this is slow acceleration, difficulty shifting, bad gas mileage and a few other things im probably not thinking about. Now has anyone else had this issue and if so what was yalls fix or maybe point me in the direction for further diagnosis of the problems sorce. Please and thank you

Fuel pumps burn up prematurely

Dodge Dakota 2002 4.7 v8 225000 miles
5th fuel pump. Suspect bad ground or power wire issues that cause the fuel pumps to burn out prematurely.

Steering failure, fuel tank sensor and paint

Dodge Dakota 2009
After 25 weeks of usage, the fuel tank sensor started failing and it did not allow its filling. One month later, the steering failure appeared: the vehicle suddenly turned to the left by itself, but luckily nothing happened. All the steering system was checked but no failure could be found. And after 30 months, paint damages started appearing, corrosion everywhere and even water leakage through the front lamps.
