WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IT'S IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT THE DASH, IT IS FALLING APART I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DASH THAT LOOKED THIS BAD . I THINK IT IS PROBABLY DANGEROUS! IT GOT A SMALL CRACK ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AND NOW ITS AWFUL AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME . I STARTED LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT DASH AND RAN ACROSS COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL STATES THAT HAD EVEN HAD IT ON THE NEWS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED, WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RANGE OF 30-45MPH WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND SMASHED AGAINST MY WINDSHIELD, CAUSING ME TO BE TOTALLY BLINDED AND CRASH INTO A TALL CURB TEARING APART SOME SUSPENSION PARTS AND ALSO THE WIPERS WERE PINCHED AND LATER BEGAN SMOKING. FOLLOWED BY THE TRUCK NOT GOING INTO REVERSE. THE TRUCK IS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4. *TR

THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CRACK APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, FIRST THERE WAS A SINGLE CRACK BEGINNING CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CROSSING THE DASH ENDING IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. SINCE THEN SEVERAL OTHER CRACKS HAVE SURFACED THAT ARE BEGINNING TO AFFECT THE DEFROST, HEATING/AC AND MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AIR BOG OPERATION AND POSSIBLE THE UNDER DASH WIRING. MULTIPLE OTHER REPORTS IDENTIFY THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
