2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB Complaints

REAR DOOR WIRING FAILURE CAUSING THE WIRES TO SHORT OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, SPEEDOMETER, DOOR LOCKS, POWER WINDOWS, DOOM LIGHTING. THE WIRING FAILURE IS DUE TO A POOR DESIGN AND POOR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE READ DOORS WIRING SYSTEM BETWEEN THE B PILLAR CONNECTOR AND THE DOOR. THIS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY REMOVING THE BLACK RUBBER BOOTH. *TR

I HAVE 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH A CRACKED DASH WHICH IS BAD THE CRACKS STARTED OUT SMALL AND NOW THERE SO MANY THAT THE BROKEN PIECE HAVE STARTED TO FALL THROUGH INTO THE FLOOR AND DOWN THROUGH THE DEFROST .WHAT THESE DASHES ARE MADE OF YOU WOULD THING THAT THEY WOULD NOT CRACK BUT HAS SOME OF THESE PIECES COULD BECOME AIRBORNE IF YOU HAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN CAUSING ACCIDENT IF IT WERE TO HIT YOU IN THE FACE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM FLYING PLASTIC. *TT

THE TOP OF THE DASH ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS SEVERELY CRACKED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2004 AND IS NOW STARTING TO WORK IT'S WAY TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH. I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED BECAUSE IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE, BUT I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MANY (IF NOT MOST) DODGE RAMS. I ALSO DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS YEARS AGO. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4X4 AND MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND LOOKING LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE. IT STARTED WITH ONE CRACK AT THE WINDOW AREA AND NOW THEY ARE ALL OVER THE DASH. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN, IT JUST CRACKS AND KEEPS CRACKING. *KB

FRAME RAILS ARE CORRODING. DRIVER'S SIDE HAS A 3' 6" SECTION OF BADLY CORRODED FRAME. THERE ARE HOLES LARGE ENOUGH TO PUT THREE FINGERS THROUGH. PASSENGER'S SIDE IS BEGINNING TO CORRODE. FRAME HAS NOT FAILED YET. *TR

I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASH IS CRACKING. SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND ONLY HAS 76,000 MILE ON IT. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO WITH A RECALL SINCE I SEE SO MANY PROBLEMS OBSERVED ONLINE WITH THIS YEAR OF TRUCK. I AM AFRAID THAT WITH WIRING UNDER THE DASH IT MIGHT POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG LIGHT DID NOT START GOING ON AND OFF UNTIL I NOTICED BY DASH CRACKED. *TR
