2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

2001 RAM 1500 SPORT. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS CLOSER TO THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS LIKE '!@#$% I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK, I DO NOT USE OILS ON IT SINCE MY EYES GET IRRITATED BY IT. AT TIMES I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR SOMETHING CRACKING IN THE DASHBOARD, I LOOK BUT DON'T SEE ANY NEW CRACKS VISIBLE. ALTHOUGH NOW MY DASH IS CRACKED VERY BAD. IT'S SPREADING AND IS RIDICULOUS. THE TRUCK LOOKS NEW, BUT YOU GET IN IT AND SEE THE BIG EYE SOAR ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS UNAWARE OF BEING ABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT FIGURING IT WAS A FLUKE. BUT NOW I HAVE LEARNED THERE ARE ALOT OF DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME OR WORSE ISSUE. HOW ABOUT A NEW DASH COVER OR SOMETHING. PLEASE STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCTS YOU BUILD. THIS IS WHY SO MANY AMERICANS BUY FOREIGN! HELP US HELP YOU! I WON'T BUY ANOTHER DODGE IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND THE ?!@#$% YOU SELL! I'LL BUY TOYOTA! *TR

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE QUADCAB PICKUP TRUCK 1500 IS SEVERELY CRACKED. THIS IS NOT THE NORMAL CRACKING THAT YOU MAY EXPECT TO SEE THROUGH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A DEFECT IN THE EQUIPMENT. LARGE GAPING HOLES ALL OVER THE DASH. IF THE UN-ATTACHED CRACKED SECTIONS WERE REMOVED THERE WOULD BE NO DASH AT ALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICK-UP TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE HOOD FLEW OPEN, COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW. THE HOOD AND HOOD HINGES WERE DAMAGED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED AND REQUIRED REPLACING. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 50,000 MILES BOUGHT NEW. DASH BOARD CRACKING ABOVE AIRBAG FROM WINDSHIELD TO AIR BAG. I CALLED A DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL THAT WAS THE END OF IT. NOW I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. BUYING DASH CAP. *TR

CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. NO CAUSE. HAS BEEN DAMAGED SINCE 2005 WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. SEEMS TO KEEP GETTING WORSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 (SPORT) AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY DASH STARTED CRACKING AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS TIME GOES. CHUNKS HAVE FALLEN OUT, AND NOT ONLY AM I WORRIED ABOUT THE HEAT FROM THE SUN DESTROYING THE WIRES UNDER MY DASH (BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, ETC) IT ALSO PROVIDES SHARP EDGES FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO GET SNAGGED ON AND EFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IT WAS IMPLIED THAT THE CONTACT PLACED HIS FOOT ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER WOULD REPAIR THE DASHBOARD AT THE COST OF $367. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,800.

4 YEARS AFTER BUYING THE TRUCK, DASH COMING APART, AND HAVING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. NO CORRECTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS EITHER DON'T COME ON OR IF YOU HIT A BUMP THEY WILL GO OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 RAM DODGE 1500 AND THE DASH BOARD IS COMPLETELY CRACKED, LARGE HOLES. STARTED CRACKING A YEAR AFTER PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS BEEN COVERED BY DASH COVER. *TR
