2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I OWN TWO DODGE RAM PICKUPS 2001,1500 AND 2003,2500 BOTH HAVE CRACKED DASHES ACTUALLY THE 1500 THE DASH IS FALLING OUT POSSIBLE AFFECTING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN RAINING OR HIGH MOISTURE THE VEHICLE DIES OR WILL NOT START. DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL TIMES IT STARTED TO RAIN AND THE TRUCK ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING AND TRYING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. IF RAINING OR DAMP. WHEN TRY TO START, THERE IS NO SUCH LUCK. WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT SIT IN THE DRIVE UNUSABLE. WHEN YOU TURN THE HEADLAMPS FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 BRAND NEW. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I STARTED NOTICING HAIRLINE CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. FAST FORWARD TO 2008, AND NOW I HAVE A GAPING CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY PROBLEM. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT A SHARP PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC COULD DO IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. WHAT ELSE CAN WE, THE PUBLIC, DO? *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK HAS CRACKED AND I BELIEVE MAY BE AFFECTING MY CONTROL PANEL (ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER). I WENT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ONE AFTERNOON AND THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL WASN'T WORKING. I ALSO HAVE SOME KIND OF FUMES COMING FROM MY VENTS WHENEVER I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT OR DEFROST WHICH MAY BE RELATED TO THE DASHBOARD ALSO. MY DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE AIR ISN'T GOING WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO.

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4. I HAVE SEVERAL LONG CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. ALSO 2 AREAS MAYBE 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER HAVE FALLEN INTO DASH THEY HAD TO BE GLUED BACK IN PLACE BUT NEW CRACKS APPEAR EVERY WEEK.. TRUCK HAS 90K BUT THIS PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 50K. I HAD PULLED SUPER GLUE IN CRACK TO STOP THEM FROM SPREADING BUT NO LUCK THERE. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 CRACKED, FALLING IN DASH HEATER CORE FAILURE DUE TO GROUND WIRE NEVER BEING SECURED FROM FACTORY REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN BY USING INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ELECTRIC LOCK SWITCH FAILURE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR HOOD HINGES BROKE ON BOTH SIDES TAILGATE CABLE SUPPORT DRIVERS SIDE REPLACED TWICE

DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO WITH A MILEAGE OF 55000. DASH WAS REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE TWO YEARS AGO WHEN DASH HAD COLAPSED. ONE YEAR LATER THE DASH BEGAN TO CRACK ONCE AGAIN AND I LEARNED OF MANY OTHER POEPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS RELUCTANT TO SPEN 1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. SINCE THEN THE DASH HAS COLAPSED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME SPALL PEICES CUT SOME WIRES UNDER THE DASH CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS NOT TO WORK. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65-70 MPH WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. READING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I FEEL THE DASH IS DEFECTIVE AND A SAFETY CONCERN. CHRYSLER SHOUD RECALL VEHICLES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. *CN
