I OWN A 1999 DODGE RAM 2500 PICK UP TRUCK. THE DASHBOARD ON THE TRUCK IS CRISS-CROSSED WITH MANY CRACKS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN AN ACCIDENT THE JAGGED SHARDS OF THE DASH BOARDCOULD TURN INTO DEADLY PROJECTILES.*AK NOTHING LED TO THE DASH DEVELOPING THESE CRACKS, IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC WASN'T DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE STRESSES THAT DAY TO DAY USE PLACES ON IT. CURRENTLY THE DASH ISN'T REPLACED, IF THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO SEE THE DASH THEY ARE WELCOME TO VIEW IT.

FUEL INJECTOR PUMP STOPPED WORKING AND FROM ALL OF INFORMATION I FOUND IT SEEMED TO ME IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. WE HAD A ACCIDENT IN 2005 FROM THE STALLING OF THE PUMP, AND WAS TOLD BY THE BODY SHOP IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK. WE HAVE SPENT MONEY ON SENSORS TRYING TO REPAIR TO FINALLY BE TOLD THAT THE VP-44 CODE WAS THE FUEL INJECTOR PUMP, AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE AND THAT CERTAIN COMPANIES HAVE MADE A SPECIAL PART TO REPAIR THIS AND COULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. WHY CAN'T DODGE REPAIR? DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE JUST TO GET SOMETHING REPAIR RIGHT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE DURING THE MAKING OF THE PRODUCT? *TR

MY DASH HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR FOUR YEARS AND HAS BECOME WORSE. OTHER OWNER COMPLAINTS RELATE TO FAULTY WIRING/HEAD AND TAIL LIGHT MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DASH. *TR

1999 DODGE RAM 2500 ENTIRE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND FELL APART. REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED, AND IT WAS USUALLY IN COVERED PARKING. PIECES FELL INTO THE WIRING AND MECHANISMS STOPPING THEIR USE. I BOUGHT AN OEM REPLACEMENT AND IT ALSO CRACKED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VENTILATION CONTROLS BECAUSE A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC WEDGED INTO IT AND BROKE THE LEVERS. ALSO, NOTICED TWO WIRES THAT HAD A SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC BETWEEN THEM ,AND THE VIBRATION HAD WORN AWAY THE INSULATION. I REPLACED THOSE WIRES BEFORE THEY COULD SHORT OUT. *AK

THE DASHBOARD IN 1999 DODGE RAM 2500 IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN MANY PLACES, AND HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS, AND FINALLY ONE DAY A SECTION JUST FELL IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS WAS A CONCERN AT THE TIME, AND I WAS TOLD BY DODGE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW ONE. SINCE THE HOLE APPEARED THE WHOLE DASHBOARD RATTLES WHILE I DRIVE . IT IS NOT ONLY IS ANNOYING, BUT ALSO DISTRACTING. *AK

NO INJURY. 99 DODGE RAM 2500 DASH BOARD MATERIAL/CONSTRUCTION QUALITY ISSUE DASHBOARD SPLIT ALMOST FULL WIDTH FROM THE DEFROSTER REGISTER TO THE INSTRUMENT BEZEL JUST TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DRIVER. IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STILL SAFE SINCE IT'S DASH MOUNTED? ORIGINAL DASH IS STILL IN VEHICLE. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE CUMMINS WITH THE "TYPICAL" CRACKED DASH. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH THE CRACKED DASH. I HAVE GONE TO MANY JUNK YARDS TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR IT (SINCE DODGE WANTS TO MUCH) AND EVERY TRUCK I HAVE FOUND IS IN THE SAME CONDITION, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM. SOME DASH'S HAVE EVEN COLLAPSED BECAUSE OF THESE CRACKS. *JB
