2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

MY 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK HAS CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT HAS LITERALLY FALLEN APART. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK HAS CRACKS ALL THROUGH THE DASHBOARD AND PARTS OF IT HAVE BROKE OF INTO DASH. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED AND FALLING APART. CAN PRODUCE SHARP PROJECTILES DURING CRASH OR HARD STOP. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 STARTED DEVELOPING CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD IN 2007 STARTING NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2001 AND NOW HAS 95,000 MILES. *TR

I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2001 DODGE 1500 WITH A CRACKED DASH BOARD. THE AIR BAG LODGED PIECES OF DASH 4 INCHES INTO MY PASSENGER SEAT. I THANK GOD NONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE SITTING THERE. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING AND CAVING IN FOR NO REASON, I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2001 DODGES. IT IS A DANGEROUS RISK WITH EXPOSED WIRES AND SUCH AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DODGE DEALERS TO FIX. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. A FEW YEARS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE DASH ON MY TRUCK WAS CRACKED. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS AND IT'S BUSTED INTO A DOZEN OR MORE PIECES. I JUST THOUGHT IS WAS JUST MY BAD LUCK UNTIL I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEE ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT AND DISCOVERED THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY 2001 DODGE TRUCK HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM, SOME WORSE THAN MINE. IT APPEARS THAT DESPITE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IT THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE AIRBAG IS INSIDE THE DASH ALONG WITH ALL THE WIRING, A/C, ETC. THAT IS NOW EXPOSED. PERHAPS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT NOT BUY THEIR POORLY MADE PRODUCTS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, ELECTRICAL ISSUES MAY ARISE, ALONG WITH SPEAKER FAILURE AND DASHBOARD LIGHT FAILURE. THE CRACK RUNS FRONT THE FRONT WINDOW TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DASHBOARD. MY 16 YEARS OLD DRIVES THIS TRUCK. IT IS NOT SAFE. DEALER SAYS NOT A RECALL ITEM, NOTHING TO DO. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY DODGE. SHOULD THIS VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY, ELECTRICAL ISSUES MAY ARISE FROM THE VIBRATING OF THE DASHBOARD. DASHBOARDS DO NOT CRACK. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. MY DASH BOARD HAS STARTED TO CRACK SEVERELY. AFTER REVIEWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE TRUCKS ON THE INTERNET I FELT THAT I TO SHOULD IN FROM SAFERCAR.GOV. THERE ARE CONCERNS OF LARGE PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD CRACKING AT ONCE AND SEVERING ELECTRICAL WIRING THAT CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND MAYBE FIRE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOUR DEPARTMENT COULD HELP ALL THE DODGE OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU *TR

CRACKING AND DISINTEGRATION OF COMPLETE DASH COVER EXPOSING ELECTRICAL AND OTHER CRITICAL COMPONENTS. *TR
