2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB RWD. IN THE PAST TWO YEARS MY DASHBOARD HAS CRUMBLED. PIECES ARE ACTUALLY STARTING TO FALL INTO THE FIREWALL. I CAN TOUCH THE DASH WITH ONE FINGER AND APPLY MINIMAL PRESSURE AND THE DASH SPIDER WEBS. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND IS PARKED UNDER A COVERED SHED AT HOME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SEEMS TO ME TO BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FOR A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND THE FIRST DAY I DRIVE IT, I FIND OUT THE HUB WAS BAD AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A PART NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH CRACKS IN THE DASH AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. IN INVESTIGATING REPAIR OPTIONS FOR THIS I HAVE DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH NOTIFIED MANY TIMES. IT IS SO PREVALENT THAT IN LESS THAT ONE HOUR I FOUND 20 CASES OF THE SAME EXACT FORM LETTER BEING SENT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD NOTIFIED CHRYSLER. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO JERK CHRYSLER BACK INTO REALITY WITH A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM - WHEN THE AIRBAG GOES OFF , PLASTIC DASH SHRAPNEL FLYING EVERYWHERE IS NOT A GOOD THING! *JB

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM PICK UP TRUCK WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT AN JUST RECENTLY THE DASHBOARD STARTING CRACKING, SMALL CRACKS AT FIRST BUT NOW PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM THAT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING BADLY. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ASKED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT DODGE WOULD NOT REPAIR AS A RECALL. ALSO A NEW DASHBOARD IS AROUND $330.00. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT IT WILL GET WORSE AND COLLAPSE. IF THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS WHY WON'T THEY RECALL THEM? *TR

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED WITH ONLY ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WERE TINY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD BUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE CAR BEING PARKED IN THE SHADE, THE CRACKS GREW WORSE AND WORSE UNTIL NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 5 MAJOR CRACKS AND I'M CONCERNED THAT TWO WILL MERGE TO CREATE A HOLE IN MY DASH. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPONENTS AND CONCEALED WIRING WILL BE AT RISK OF FAILURE DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE AND A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

DASH IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT STARTS FROM THE WINDOW DOWN TO THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A PROBLEM MOST 2001 RAMS ARE HAVING AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON OUR 2001 DODGE 1500 TRUCK CRACKED. I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAD THE DASHBOARD CRACK. THE TRUCK IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WHO BOUGHT A USED 1999 DODGE 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD ON THAT TRUCK WAS TERRIBLE. THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I WOULD WORRY ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER DODGE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *JB

MY 2001 DODGE DASH BOARD CRACKED AND COLLAPSED INTO A 4 BY 8 INCH HOLE. I HAVE SINCE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. *JB

I AM REPEAT DODGE CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, I HAVE RECENTLY BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT MY DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW CURRENTLY FALLING THROUGH IN SEVERAL LACES. IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN A LARGE CHUNK OF ABOUT SIX INCHES WIDE AND 8 INCHES LONG FELL THROUGH THE DASHBOARD, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS SHARP PIECE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN WEARING WORK BOOTS. AS MY DAUGHTERS HAVE ON OCCASION DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE I HAVE BECOME CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF ELECTRICAL WIRING DAMAGE AND/OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT PROBLEMS. I URGE SOMEONE TO PUSH FOR A RECALL BEFORE SHARP ITEMS DISFIGURED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IS INITIATED DUE TO NICKED WIRES. MY CONFIDENCE IN DODGE HAS TRULY DIMINISHED DUE TO THEIR DISREGARD ND UNCONCERN ON THIS MATTER. *JB
