2000 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM THAT THE DASH CRACKED AND IS NOW FALLING OUT IN HUGE PIECES THIS STARTED ABOUT 4 TO 5 YEARS AGO. I'M WORRIED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE LINE THEY SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT THE DEALERSHIP WE HAD ALREADY TALKED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHES IN THE DODGE TRUCKS AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $800.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

MULTIPLE, LARGE , DEEP CRACKS IN THE DASH OF MY 2000 DODGE RAM. DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WITHOUT ANY RECALLS ON IT FROM DODGE. EVENTUAL HOLES WILL DEVELOP, WHICH LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS, AND SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE. I'M NOW LOSING THE BEVEL AS WELL. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SHARP PIECES BREAKING OFF. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2000 DODGE TRUCK HAS CRACKS ALL OVER IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MINE BUT I FOUND OUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY DODGE TRUCKS. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M WRITING TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE BUT I FEEL A DASHBOARD SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER THAN 7 YEARS. SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEIR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING NOW DUE TO THE BIG HOLES THEY NOW HAVE IN THEIR DASHBOARD. *JB

THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND IS IN VERY POOR CONDITION RIGHT NOW. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF WHEN I TURN THE BRIGHT ON AND I HAVE TO FLASH THE BRIGHT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET THEM TO TURN ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR WRANGLER, SIZE P235/75R15 TIRES. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED ON AUGUST 30, 2007, THE INSPECTOR NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATING. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED FOURTEEN DAYS AGO THAT THEY WOULD RETURN THE CONTACT'S CALL. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 01/02/08. *LJ UPDATED 01/02/08

ON HOT DAY, A VERTICAL CRACK FORMED IN DASH DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CRACK IS VERY NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AT THE LEAST THIS COULD CAUSE A RIP IN THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT. AT THE WORST THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION ALL TOGETHER. *JB

PURCHASED MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 IN 2005 AND IT ALREADY HAD A CRACKED DASH. THERE WERE HOLES AS LARGE AS A NOTEBOOK IN THE DASH AND I AM STILL FINDING PIECES TO THE DASH THAT ARE FALLING ONTO THE FLOOR. THE CRACK GOES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO THE WINDSHIELD AND SEVERAL HOLES AS LARGE AS MY FIST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *JB

2000 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK, 5.9L, AUTO, SINGLE CAB, SLT. DASH IS CRACKED AND FALLING TO PIECES. DODGE DENIES ANY PROBLEMS THAT WOULD WARRANT THEM REIMBURSING ME FOR THE DASH. I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW DASH PANEL THAT I HAVE TO INSTALL. WINDSHIELD HAS ALWAYS HAD A SHADE IN IT, AND ALMOST NEVER HAVE PRODUCTS SUCH AS ARMOR ALL OR OTHER INTERIOR PRODUCTS BEEN USED ON IT. FOR THE RECORD, I ALSO HAVE A 1996 DODGE RAM 1500, WITH A PERFECT DASH. 98-01 RAMS HAD THE UPDATED DASHES THAT ARE THE ONES CRACKING ON MANY PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM PICKUP AND THE DASH BOARD HAS STARTED TO CRACK. THE CRACKS GO ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND I AM AFRAID THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS GOING TO BECOME DISLODGED BECAUSE OF THE CRACKS. I HAVE THE AIRBAG DEACTIVATED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD TOUGH LUCK THERE IS NO RECALL AND ITS $210.00 FOR A REPLACEMENT PART
