Sounds like you got a lemon. I'd try to get Nikon to replace it; not much you can do except raise hell.
My dad has an 18-200, and while he's not a huge fan of the image quality, the only problem it has ever had is zoom creep.

Are these lenses basically just high dollar trash (at over $1000) that I should expect to come apart when I rely on them, or do I have a lemon, and is there any way

Where are you getting the 18-200mm Nikkor at over $1000? It's a $700 lens.
