2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AND CAVING IN. RIGHT NOW THERE IS A MASSIVE HOLE WITH SHARP PIECES THAT CONTINUALLY BREAK OFF AND POSE A DANGER EVERYTIME I NEED TO REACH ON THE DASH. MY WIRING IS EXPOSED AND STARTING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A DEFECT FROM DODGE AND I NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED BEFORE AN INJURY TO MYSELF OR MY FAMILY OCCURS. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED AND FALLING IN. VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING DUE TO WIRES BEING EXPOSED.

WHEN ARE YOU FOLKS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS HAZARD? ARE YOU JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT?? IT IS IRRESPOSNSIBLE TO CONTINUE TO NEGLECT THIS. YOU HAVE 802 COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND MOST ARE THE FOLLOWING ISSUE!!DODGE RAM DASHBOARD MANUFACTURER DEFECT; FALLING APART CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN NUMEROUS WAYS. UPDATED 04/12/10

MY DASH STARTED CRACKING BEFORE I BOUGHT IT BACK IN 3/2009 BUT NOW THE CRACKS ARE "HOLES". THE DASH IS LITERALLY CAVING IN. WHAT IS LEFT IS SHARP EDGED PIECES THAT CAN EASILY CUT YOU. ALSO, THE WIDE OPEN CRATERS ARE ALLOWING THE HOT TEXAS SUN TO BAKE THE WIRING AND HAS TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE RANDOM INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE CROPPING UP PERIODICALLY.

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND BUSTED. I DO NOT WANT A DODGE REPLACEMENT. IT WILL JUST DO IT AGAIN. I FOUND ONE FOR 300 DOLLARS FROM SANDKINDUSTIES.COM. ALL I WANT FROM DODGE IS THE 300 DOLLARS TO ORDER THE DASH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SUSTAINED SEVERE CRACKING THROUGHOUT THE SURFACE. THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LARGE CRACK ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG. THE MOST SEVERE CRACKS BEGAN TO PEEL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 05/10/10 *BF UPDATED 07/16/10*JB UPDATED 09/20/10

HAVING NOTICED A LOSS IN BRAKE FLUID, IT BECAME A RUST OUT BRAKE LINE. THIS TRUCK, HAS 107K MILES. AND THIS BRAKE LINE IS IN THE REAR PORTION OF THE GAS TANK AREA, THAT CONNECTS TO THE REAR SYSTEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE DODGE TRUCKS. AS HAVE FOUND OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

MY DASH BOARD BEGAN CRACKING AND FALLING APART. FINALLY, JUST CAVED IN WHEN HEATER CORE WAS BEING REPLACED. I CUT MYSELF AND NEARLY BURNT MYSELF BY THE HEATER CORE TRYING TO GET THE PIECES OUT. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD!! *TR

MY DODGE RAM PICK UP DEVELOPED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" 3 YEARS AGO AND IT IS NOW SO BAD, I WON'T TAKE IT ON THE FREEWAY SINCE IT DOES THE WOBBLE AT 50 MPH. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND I DON'T TRUST THE TRUCK ANYMORE. *TR

WE OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM CLUB CAB. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED BUT IN GREAT CONDITION FEBRUARY 2006. WHEN PURCHASED IT HAD A TINY CRACK IN THE DASH UP NEAR THE WINDSHIELD NOTHING WORTH MAKING A BIG DEAL OF. OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS SO MANY CRACKS HAVE APPEARED YOU CANT TELL IT USED TO BE ONE PIECE! ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A NOISE, TURNING OFF THE RADIO AND STOPPING THE TRUCK I LOOKED UP TO FIND THE DASH LITERALLY BREAKING APART BEFORE MY EYES. THESE CRACKS ARE THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE TRUCK. DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. SINCE WHEN ARE THEY EXEMPT FROM HAVING TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURES. IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE RUINING THEIR OWN NAME BY TURNING THEIR HEADS TO THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. THEY MAKE SOME GREAT TRUCKS, SO WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO RUIN THEIR OWN REPUTATION BY NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS? *TR
