I HAVE PURCHASED A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 AND I HAVE NOTICE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. THIS CRACKING STARTED IN 2005 AND NOW THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART AND CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS UNDERNEATH. FLORIDA REPORTS MANY CRACKED AND COLLAPSED DASHBOARDS ON DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES. DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION AND HAS NOT ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIR AT MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSES. IN ADDITION, I STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHALL BE MADE.*VO *TR

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. THE OTHER DAY, I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH NEAR THE VENT. NEXT DAY, I GET IN AND THERE ARE 4 CRACKS. TODAY, MY DASH CRACKED OVER THE EDGE NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER GETTING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE (IE - FREE DASH REPLACEMENTS FROM DODGE). I HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRUCK BUT THIS IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE. THIS IS WHAT CHRYSLER/DODGE GETS FOR TRYING TO CHEAPEN THEIR MATERIALS IN ORDER TO SAVE A BUCK.
