2003 DODGE RAM 3500 Complaints

NOTICED THE DASHBOARD HAD A SMALL CRACK IN IT, USED A DASH PROTECTOR MAT AND WHEN I TOOK IT OFF TO CLEAN THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED INTO PIECES. THIS DASHBOARD LOOKS WORSE THAN A JIGSAW PUZZLE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD PIECES JUST BREAK OFF AND FALL INTO THE DASH!

BOTH BRAKE LINES BETWEEN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ANTI LOCK CONTROLLER RUPTURED WHEN STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS ONLY SUCCESSFUL IN STOPPING USING TRAILER BRAKES.BOTH LINES LOOKED IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT WHERE THEY RUPTURED UNDER A PLASTIC RETAINING CLIP THAT ENCASED THE LINES MAKING THEM NOT VISIBLE FOR INSPECTION. THE LINES COMING OUT OF THE CONTROLLER HAVE AN ANTI CORROSIVE COATING THE TWO GOING IN THAT RUPTURED DO NOT. I STILL HAVE THE OLD LINES AND PICTURES CAN BE SENT IF NEEDED. THE PLASTIC RETAINING CLIPS WERE LOST DURING THE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY REPAIR IN A THUNDER STORM.

THE DASH IN MY 2003 DODGE RAM 3500 HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE TRUCK HAD 95,602 MILES AT THE TIME. LOW MILEAGE FOR THE MODEL BUT I ONLY LIVE 3 MILES FROM MY JOB. I USE A SUNSCREEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT IN USE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS SUN DAMAGE. NOW LITTLE PIECES OF PLASTIC, FOAM AND FIBER LOOKING MATERIAL ARE BEING SPEWED FROM AIR VENTS. I THINK IT IS FROM THE DETERIORATION OF THE DASH. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH AS THE DETERIORATION IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF MINE AS I HAVE GIVEN REASONABLE CARE TO THE TRUCK. I ALSO FEAR THAT IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, I OR MY PASSENGERS COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED BY THE DAMAGED DASH FLYING INTO SHRAPNEL.
