2003 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB Complaints

THE AIR PRESSURE COMING OUT OF THE VENTS WAS MINIMAL WHILE DRIVING AND JUST ABOVE MINIMAL WHEN IN PARK. THIS IS AN ALL THE TIME SITUATION. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE A FEW THINGS: BLEND DOOR, CIRCULATION OR VACUUM ISSUE. I STARTED SEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND ENTIRE FORUMS DEVOTED TO THESE ISSUES. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT PEOPLE FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT WAS AGREED THAT A RECALL WAS OR SHOULD BE IN ORDER ON THAT PARTICULAR PART OR HOUSING. *TR

2003 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB.....CRACKS IN DASHBOARD CAUSED AC MALFUNCTION. PIECES OF DASHBOARD BLOCKED AIR DAMPER DOOR AND BURNED OUT MOTOR.. COST $1100.00 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX.... *TR

DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE AIRBAG HAS A CRACK 1 INCH FROM THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR. NO ACCIDENT EVER IN THIS VEHICLE, FIRST OWNER. *TR

WHILE HAVING NEW TIRES INSTALLED THE MECHANIC AND I HEARD SOUNDS FROM UNDER TRUCK AS IF THE LIFT WAS CRUSHING A RUSTY MUFFLER. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS UP IN THE AIR IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE REAR SEAT HAD ROTTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. A CANCER HOLE ABOUT 6" LONG BY 1" WAS VISIBLE. THE LIFT, POSITIONED ABOUT 4" BEHIND THIS HOLE HAD COLLAPSED THE FRAME UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE ELEVATED TRUCK. *TR

THE DASH IN MY 2003 DODGE RAM IS CRACKED AND CRUMBLING. YOU CAN BREAK OFF CHUNKS WITH 2 FINGERS. ITS THAT BRITTLE. NOW THAT I SEARCHED FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE FACTORY EQUIPPED HEATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM FAILS TO REGULATE FROM DASH BOARD HEAT TO THE DEFROSTERS THAT DIRECTS THE HEAT TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THUS CAUSING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND IN MOST CASES OF THE WINTER MONTHS BUILD UP WITH ICE TO CAUSE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. IN NOT WINTER MONTHS WHERE THE WEATHER IS COOL OR RAINY FOG FORMS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING VISIBILITY. WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE ACCIDENTS WERE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BEING FROZEN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEEN THROUGH. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HEADED INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE WOULD BE NORMAL DAILY DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURS %100 OF THE TIME. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I TOOK MY 03 RAM IN FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE ADVISER FOUND A CLIP THAT HAD BROKEN IN THE REAR END. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR UP TO $2000.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RAM. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A REAR END TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS LARGE CRACKS IN IT WHICH HAVE EXPOSED WIRES AND CAUSED ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK. *TR

2003 DODGE RAM 1500, THE DASH STARTED CRACKING IN 2007. I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH HEAT IN VEGAS, THE CRACKS HAVE CONTINUED AND ARE GETTING BIGGER. STARTED LOOKING INTO GETTING A REPLACEMENT AND CAME ACROSS THOUSANDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST PRODUCT FROM THIS COMPANY. THE PAINT HAS FADED COMPLETELY ON THE ROOF AND HOOD. IT IS NOW FADING ON THE DOORS AND BED OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER LONG STORY. *TR

FOR 2 YEARS MY TRUCK HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNING ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. NOW THE LAMP OUT, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON ALL THE TIME. LEAVING MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL UNABLE TO WORK. WHEN THE DASHBOARD DIES, NOTHING WILL WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, SPEEDOMETER, AND ALL OTHER GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO BE FIXED AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT. IF DRIVING THE TRUCK AT NIGHT OR ON A RAINY DAY, THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SAME THING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR
