2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD CRACKING AND CAVING IN. WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN A PIECE OF THE CRACKING DASH FLEW INTO MY EYE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A NEW DASH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH [XXX] AND GIVEN HER MY CARE# [XXX] BUT SHE IS NOT WILLING TO HELP WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE DASH FOR $1576.00 BY WESTGATE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE BY SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX].

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND FALLING APART, RESULTING IN LOOSE PIECES THAT FLY AROUND THE TRUCK. THE JAGGED EDGES ARE A DANGER AS WELL. *TR

SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES DUE TO PIECES FROM BROKEN DASHBOARD FALLING INTO DASH AREA WEARING AND CUTTING AWAY WIRING INSULATION. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF AND GAUGES NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ALSO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAVE SEEN SMOKE RISING OUT OF LARGE HOLES IN DASH AREA. GLARE FROM MOUNTING BRACKETS REFLECTING OFF INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD HAS CREATED VISIBILITY ISSUES ON BRIGHT DAYS. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 5.2 V-8 ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS VERY POOR PERFORMANCE DUE TO TAPPING VALVES AND LIFTERS, WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK LOSSES POWER SO I'M AFRAID THIS MAY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BY CAUSING A ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER DODGE AND THEY DO NOTHING WE AS CONSUMERS REALLY NEED THE HELP. *TR

CRACKED AND DESTROYED DASH, HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS ELECTRICAL INCLUDING LIGHTS GOING OUT AND EXPOSED WIRING. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED AND BROKE, LARGE HOLES, MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISE AND PIECES COME FLYING OUT INTO MY FACE AND EYES SOMETIMES. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND COLLAPSED PIECES FALL THRU THE CRACKS AND DOWN TO THE ACCRELATOR AND BRAKES AND ALSO EXSPOSE MY ELECTRICAL WIRES. DODGE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, REALLY AFRAID SOMEONE IS GONNA GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

NO INCIDENT, DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND HAS MAJOR CREVICES AND HOLES. INSIDE OF THE DASH SHOWS EXPOSED WIRES AND AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. PIECES ARE CRUMBLING AND COULD BECOME LODGED BEHIND BRAKE IF NOT REMOVED SOON ENOUGH. *TR

THE DASH HAS HUGE CRACKS AND IS CAVING IN AT PLACES. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS THESE CRACKS, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY MAY HAVE STARTED. *TR

MY COMPANY OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. PURCHASED IT USED APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO AND WITHIN A SHORT TIME DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AND CAVING IN. I THOUGHT MINE WAS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, BUT I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DODGE PICK TRUCKS DOING THIS. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BY DODGE BUT IT SHOULD, WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS SAID WIRING WERE SEVERED AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM THE CAVE INS. MY IS NOW VERY SERIOUS AND I AM AFRAID THE SAME PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR FROM THIS. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NO RECALL. I WANT DODGE TO REPLACE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY HAZARDS FROM THEIR VEHICLES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
