1999 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I PURCHASED MY 99 DODGE TRUCK IN 2001 AND HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED A CRACK DEVELOP ON THE DASH. THIS CRACK HAS GROWN AND SPIDER OUT AND NOW THE ENTIRE DASH IS BROKEN INTO PIECES. I HAVE COVERED THE DASH WITH A PLASTIC COVER BECAUSE DODGE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE DASH HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK UNDER MY COVER AND WILL EVENTUALLY CRUMBLE TO PIECES. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

1999 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD FALLING APART. WHEN I TURNED THE DEFROSTER ON SOMETHING FLEW OUT AND HIT ME IN THE FACE. LATER I FOUND A SMALL PIECE OF THE DASH IN MY LAP. THIS COULD HAVE HIT ME IN THE EYE. DASH IS FALLING COMPLETELY APART. *TR

OWN A DODGE RAM 1500 (1999). DASH BEGAN CRACKING ABOUT A YEAR AGO, NOW IT HAS HUGE HOLES WHERE THE DASH HAS LITERALLY BROKEN OFF IN CHUNKS! I'M CONCERNED THAT THE DASH COULD BECOME A HAZARD IF THERE WERE A CRASH (WOULD IT BECOME SHRAPNEL?), WILL THIS PROBLEM AFFECT THE AIRBAGS? *TR

THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SEAT IS VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I'M AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINE AND THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT JUST AS I COULD SEE THE SMOKE AND THE WHITE HARNESS UNDER THE SEAT WAS RED JUST READY TO IGNITE SO JUST PICTURE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE THAT IS NOT M.INCLINE AND WOULD NOT THINK OF PULLING THE FUSE I GUARANTEE A FIRE WOULD BREAK OUT UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT...I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY WIFE AND 3YEAR OLD SON DRIVING IN THE TRUCK ALONE AND I GUARANTEE THAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TO PULL THE FUSE OUT OR THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAS THE SAME TRUCK...ALSO I HAVE NOT TAKE THE TRUCK IN TO THE DODGE DEALER YET BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A BIG REPAIR BILL ...THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

1999 DODGE RAM 1500: THE DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO CRACK AND CAVE-IN. A 10- 12 INCH DIAMETER SECTION HAS CRACKED AND FALLEN IN. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR. *TR

DASH FALLING APART! MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS A 1995 RAM AND I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM FOR DODGE. HAVING HAD THE PROBLEM BEFORE, I PURCHASED A DASH MAT FROM THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BUT, THE DASH FELL APART ANYWAY. *TR

DASH IS ALL CRACKED UP AND NEEDS REPAIRED. ITS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN HALF IN TWO PLACES,AND CRACKING MORE AND MORE EACH DAY,ONE OF THE BIG CRACKS IS IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG. FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THESE DODGE DASHBOARDS FALLING APART,THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT, I KNOW DODGE AIN'T DOING NOTHING ABOUT! *TR

DASHBOARD FALLING APART. GAPING HOLE IN THE MIDDLE, AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. *TR

DASH COVERING AIRBAG'S DETERIORATING, SEATBELT DOESN'T REWIND, SEAT BACK DOESN'T LATCH INTO A SECURE POSITION. I WONDER IF THE DASH WILL EXPLODE ON IMPACT AND WILL THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSE FURTHER INJURY. DURING A SUDDEN BRAKING EVENT WILL THE SEAT BACK THROW EVERYBODY IN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DASH IF THE SEATBELTS FAIL? NO INJURIES YET. CAN'T AFFORD ALL THE REPAIRS. *TR
