2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB Complaints

THE DASH ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DODGE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.S. HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB PICK UP TRUCK IS FALLING APART. IT IS BREAKING OFF IN LARGE SECTIONS CAUSING THE WIRES TO BE EXPOSED. THE COST TO REPAIR IT APX. 2000 DOLLARS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. WHY IS DODGE NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL ON THIS ?????? *TR

THIS 6 YEAR OLD DODGE TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED THREE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT RUN FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I BELIEVE THAT THE FUNCTION OF MY AIR BAGS MAY BE AFFECTED IN A CRASH DUE TO THESE CRACKS. DODGE HAS INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT IN THIS PART AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND SOME OF THE GRILL PIECES THAT COVER THE DEFROSTER DUCTS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DUCTS. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE FORDS AND CHEVY'S FROM THE SAME YEAR OR EARLIER AND THEIR DASHBOARD ISN'T CRACKING IN SUCH A WAY. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WITH THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL ACTIVATED, SEVERAL VEHICLES ATTEMPTED TO PASS ON MY LEFT. TO MY DISMAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE DIRECTIONAL INDICATOR WAS SIGNALING A RIGHT TURN WHILE IN THE LEFT ACTIVATED POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER CANNOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM, SO NO ACTION IS TAKEN. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO NOW I CAN CHANGE THE DIRECTIONAL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT BY RAISING OR LOWERING THE TILT STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE SIGNAL INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED. SOME TIMES IT JUST DOES NOT GO ON AT ALL. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKS - SMALL CRACK APPROX. 1INCH, 1 YR. AGO. AND NOW, 4 LARGE CRACKS, 2 ON THE PASS. SIDE AND THE OTHER 2 AT THE CENTER OF THE DASH. I PURCHASED THE VEH. BRAND NEW. *TR

I HAD NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASH ONE DAY AFTER WORK AND NOW THERE ARE SEVERAL. THE ONE THAT CONCERNS ME MOST, IS THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE SO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT. THE MATERIAL USED JUST SEEMS TO BE VERY BRITTLE AND I AM AFRAID IF ANYTHING WAS TO HAPPEN CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, WHAT IS THE BRITTLE DASH PIECES ARE GOING TO DUE TO MY PASSENGER. I DO BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE'S FACE OR EYES. AS OF NOW CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURES PROBLEM, I DISAGREE, I ALSO OWN A 97' DODGE RAM TRUCK THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CURRENT VEHICLE IS A 02' RAM 1500. *TR

DASHBOARD OF TRUCK HAS SEVERAL SEVERE CRACKS IN IT. LARGEST FROM WINDSHIELD TO GLOVE BOX = WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. *TR

DASH ON 2002 1500 DODGE QUADCAB BOUGHT NEW IN 2003 HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS. THE DEALER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM BUT THE FACTORY IS IN DENIAL. NOW IT IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY LIGHT HAVE GONE OUT SUDDENLY. MY ALARM WIRING WAS CUT BY THE DASH AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE SPEAKER HAVE BEEN RUINED. IT IS NOW BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2002 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB DASH BOARD IS CRACKED/SPLIT IN 5 OR MORE PLACES. IN OTHER WORDS THE DASH IS DETERIORATING. THE MATERIAL IS APPARENTLY VERY BRITTLE. DODGE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $1500 TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME DASH THAT WOULD CRACK AGAIN IN 5 YEARS. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO REPORTED PROBLEMS AND THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER ANY HELP IN REPLACEMENT OR ADMIT A DESIGN FLAW. OTHER PLACES ARE REPORTING THE ENTIRE DASH IS FALLING IN AND EFFECTING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OPERATION. *TR
