2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK IS CRACKING. I AM WORRIED ABOUT PIECES COMING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS. *JB

DASH STARTED CRACKING IN 2006. NOW HAVE 3 CRACKS THAT ARE STARTING TO JOIN TOGETHER. FROM PICTURES I'VE SEEN I WILL BE HAVING BIG HOLES IN MY DASH WITHIN A YEAR. THIS IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

2001 DODGE RAM 1500, THE DASH IS LITERALLY CRUMBLING DAILY. I HAVE 1 VERY LARGE HOLE & LARGE CRACKS ALL OVER. THE DASH HAD GOTTEN WORSE EVERY WEEK. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS AS IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE UNLESS THE COMPLETE DASH IS REPLACED. THE HOLE IN THE DASH REFLECTS A GLARE AS ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. *TR

MY DASH IS CRACKING ON MY TRUCK ,I WONDER HOW DODGE WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO GO ON T.V. NEWS AND DO A STORY ON THIS DEFECT. *TR

NUMEROUS CRACKS AND CHIPS ON THE DASH OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. I RECENTLY WATCH A NEWS CLIP ON THIS ISSUE WHERE A LADY HAD HER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKING IMPROPERLY AND HER LIGHTS WENT OUT WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE REPORT ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DASH BEING OPEN TO THE HEAT OF THE SUN OR A PLASTIC PIECE MAY HAVE INTERRUPTED THE WIRING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE DODGE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS FOR CUSTOMERS AT LITTLE OR NO COST. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE DASH. THE NEWS CHANNEL WAS LOCAL NEWS 6 OUT OF ORLANDO, FL. *JB UPDATED 01-14-08. *KB UPDATED 12/12/07

DASH BOARD FALLING THRU ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM CAUSING SHORTAGE IN WIRING AND SPEAKERS STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT, AND HAVE LEARNED LATELY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I FOUND MY DODGE RAM 1500 TO HAVE A DASH CRACK YESTERDAY OUT OF NOWHERE, I DO NOT DRIVE MUCH JUST BACK ROADS FROM HOME TO WORK AND HAVE TINTED WINDOWS AND A SUN SHIELD. HEARD FROM A FRIEND ABOUT THIS AND MADE FUN OF HIM ONLY TO NOTICE I TOO HAVE CRACKS. *TR

I HAVE A CLOTH COVER COVERING DASHBOARD THAT WAS ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 12/2005 I HAVE NOTICED A HUGE CRACK AND MANY SMALL CRACKS RUNNING FROM THE PASSENGER WINDOW POST TO THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD,THIS IS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4 X 4. DODGER WILL NOT FIX NEITHER WILL DEALER OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT BECAUSE IF I WAS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT I AM AFRAID AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AND THEY WILL BE CUT TO SHREDS WITH DASHBOARD MATERIAL BECAUSE OF THESE BROKEN AREAS ON THE DASHBOARD. WE AS CONSUMERS NEED THE HELP OF THIS PLACE TO GET THIS RECALLED TO ENSURE EVERYONE'S SAFETY! *TR
