2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

THE 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DASH CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF. NOW DODGE HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BUT IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MAJOR RISK FACTOR. BY ALLOWING THE DASH TO CRACK AND FALL INTO THE WIRE SYSTEM INFRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER, ITS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN. BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM DODGE IS RISKING THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IF NOT THOUSANDS. DODGE IS ALSO LOSING OUT ON LIFE TIME BUYERS LIKE MY SELF THAT DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK. THE RISK OF A FIRE IS TO GREAT IN MY OPINION AND IF ONE LIFE CAN BE SAVED BY THE RECALL OR IF THE FIRE CAUSES SOMEONE TO CRASH INTO SOMEONE ELSE OR BEING TRAPPED IN THE FIRE AND BEING BURNED TO DEATH THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS CRACKING AND BREAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE TRUCKS 1999-2003. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND HAS SEVERAL HOLES IN IT WHERE THE PLASTIC HAS CAVED IN. I AM CONCERNED THE HOLES AND CONTINUED CRACKING WILL CAUSE EXPOSED WIRES TO BE BURNT OR SEVERED, WHICH COULD ENDANGER THE LIVES OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

2001 DODGE PICK UP- ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO A PROBLEM BEGAN WITH A SINGLE CRACK IN DASHBOARD, THEN MORE CRACKS, PIECES OF DASH BEGAN TO FALL INTO DASH CREATING HOLES, THEN LARGER HOLES AND RECENTLY COLLAPSED. NOW CONCERNED ABOUT EXPOSED WIRES AND INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, I.E. LIGHTS, WINDOW, MIRRORS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FALLEN APART. THERE ARE NOW HOLES IN IT. WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL ON IT BUT TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR IT, AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS THIS, IF SO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE US ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2001 DODGE, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING WHEN THEY MOLDED THE PLASTIC. WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INVESTMENT THAT IS FALLING APART, THAT IS THEIR FAULT? NOT ONLY HAS THE DASH CRACKED ON OUR AUTO BUT, THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BUSTED LOOSE FROM THE PLASTIC AND IS NOW LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH. THE HEADLINER AND ONE OF THE INTERIOR FOLD DOWN MIRRORS HAS COME APART. THIS AUTO IS LITERALLY FALLING APART IN THE CAB. PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROPERLY. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 3 OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MY AREA WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2001 DODGE RAM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, HE NOTICED A SMALL HOLE IN THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE. GASOLINE WAS LEAKING DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE FUEL RAIL ONTO THE MOTOR NEXT TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT A FIRE COULD HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE FUEL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL FAIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $611. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE PROVIDED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
