2000 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB HAS CRACKED IN HALF TWICE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR. I PAID 50% OF THE COST WITH THEM TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW DASHBOARD. THIS NEW DASHBOARD HAS NOW CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AND THE INSTRUMENT BEZEL IS CRACKING AS WELL. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH 1995-2003 DODGE RAMS AND IT CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FAILURES. *TR

UNKNOWN LEAK OF FREON OR OTHER SOURCE OF AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE. THE AC PUMP RUNS ALMOST CONSTANTLY. RECHARGE HAD BEEN ATTEMPTED BUT ONLY LASTED FOR 1-3 DAYS. *TR

I OWN A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 4WD QUAD CAB MODEL. DUE TO AN APPARENT DEFECT IN THE QUALITY OF THE DASH PIECES, THERE ARE SEVERAL MAJOR CRACKS RUNNING THE TOTAL DEPTH OF MY DASH PANEL. DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASH AS A DEFECT PRODUCT WHICH COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP AND THE DASH IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN 4 PLACES. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS CAN ULTIMATELY CAUSE A RIP IN THE AIR BAG AND THAT WE SHOULD INFORM THE MANUFACTURER THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN ALL OF THE 94-01 RAMS. *JB

THE DASH BOARD OF MY 2000 DODGE RAM PICKUP IS FALLING APART. IT NOW HAS HUGE HOLES IN IT EVERYWHERE EXPOSING THE INTERIOR OF THE DASH COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERS WHO ALL SAY THAT THEY WANT NEARLY $1500 TO REPLACE THE DASH AND THAT IT IS NOT A RECALLED ITEM SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE! *JB

THE DASHBOARDS OF OUR DODGE SURVEY TRUCK HAVE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. NOT ONLY HAVE THE DASHBOARDS FAILED BUT THE TRANSMISSIONS AS WELL, AND AGAIN REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACK ON 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 SERIES. CRACK STARTED SMALL ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND HAS NOW ENGULFED ENTIRE DASH. NUMEROUS CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED UNRELATED TO ORIGINAL CRACK. DASHBOARD IS NOW READY TO CAVE IN. CRACKS EMANATE OVER ENTIRE SURFACE OF DASH FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 RAM 1500 AND MY DASH IS BEGINNING TO CRACK. RIGHT NOW IT IS ONLY A 6-8" CRACK, BUT I HAVE READ MANY PROBLEMS ABOUT THIS, AND I AM JUST WAITING UNTIL MINE DECIDES TO JUST CAVE IN COMPLETELY. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO SPREAD. I HAVE TRIED GOING TO MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY JUST TELL ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.
