2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Structure Problems

I COULD NOT GET PAST THE ENTER 'FAILED COMPONENT' REQUIREMENT SO I HAD TO CHOSE AIR BAGS BECAUSE IT IS THE CLOSEST COMPONENT RELATED TO THE DASH AREA I COULD FIND. I AM ONE OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO OWNS A DODGE TRUCK WITH A SEVERELY CRACKING DASH. I REALIZE THAT THIS MAY NOT SEEM TO BE A 'SAFETY' ISSUE, BUT BELIEVE ME, WHEN YOU HAVE A DASH THAT IS CRACKED INTO PIECES WITH NUMEROUS SHARP EDGES IT SHOULD BE. I WOULD NEVER LET ANY CHILD BE IN MY TRUCK UNSUPERVISED BECAUSE THIS DASH IS SO BAD I TRULY BELIEVE AN INJURY COULD RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH THE SHARP EDGES. I REALIZE DODGE WOULD BE OUT AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM, AND I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THEY ARE STILL SELLING THE SAME BAD PLASTIC DASHES AS REPLACEMENTS, BUT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. AT LEAST THEY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED CRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT PROVIDING ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000. UPDATED 06/06/12 *BF ADDITIONAL CONCERN ARE THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. UPDATED 06/20/12*LJ

DASHBOARD HAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN DUE TO CRACKING. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 LARAMIE SLT, PURCHASED USED IN 2004 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED THE TRUCK. I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE HEATER CORE REPLACED, WHICH REQUIRES REMOVING THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS NOW FULL OF HOLES AND LARGER CRACKS. I BELIEVE IT POSES A DANGER TO ME AND ANY PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, OR THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD LIKELY CAUSE THE DASH TO DO HARM TO ANYONE HIT BY ANY PIECE OF IT. I AM TOLD THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT CORRECTING IT. *TR

I HAVE 2 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. AND BOTH DASHES LOOK LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. ONE OF MY TRUCKS I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEAR BOOM ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT, THANK GOD I COULD GO INTO THE DITCH AND STOP THE TRUCK. BUT LONG STORY SHORT BOTH MY DASHES ARE BAD AND NO ONE WANTS TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY OVER IT. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PARK BOTH TRUCKS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THEM. ONE BLEW UP SO BAD THAT IT CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. *KB

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CAVING IN. RADIO ISN'T WORKING NOW DUE TO CUT OR BURNT WIRES. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANY SEC WITH ALL THE CRACKS AND PIECES FALLEN. *TT

MY DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK'S DASHBOARD STARTED BREAKING UP INTO PIECES AND HAS BECOME WORSE SINCE 2007. PIECES FROM DASH ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE AREA THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER & OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE VITAL TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE PLUS WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS BEING EXPOSED. EVERY TIME WE GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD.....PIECES FLY OFF THE DASHBOARD & SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD.......MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS HIT BY ONE OF THESE PIECES. AFTER CHECKING ON COMPUTER, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS ON THE 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP, COMPLAINTS RANGE FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA...I AM VERY CONCERNED OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. PLEASE GO ONLINE AND CHECK COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE MANY CRACKS AND PIECES MISSING FROM MY DASH. *TR

MY DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND THIS WEEK AN ENTIRE PIECE FELL IN AND NOW SLIDES AROUND UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE READ ONLINE FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THE PLASTIC IS ALSO VERY SHARP. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. *TR

TWO- THREE YEARS AGO YEARS AGO I NOTICE A BREAK IN MY DASHBOARD THAT BREAK HAS LED TO THE DASHBOARD FALLING APART EXPOSING WIRING. WHEN THE DASHBOARD CAVE (PART OF ) IN ALL THE GAUGES STOP WORKING (SPEED,TEMP. GAS, ECT.,) AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING . *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKING AND CAVED IN CAUSING ALL GAUGES TO STOP WHILE DRIVING WORKING AND AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON ALL WIRING WAS EXPOSED THE ( DASHBOARD WAS CRACKING FOR OVER TWO YEARS BUT I JUST LEARN OF OTHER WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUES . *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED CRACKS APPEARING IN THE TRUCKS UPPER DASH, SOON THE CRACKS GREW MORE NUMEROUS AND THEY STARTED TO CONNECT CREATING COMPLETE HOLES OR MISSING CHUNKS OF DASH PLASTIC LEAVING KNIFE LIKE SHARP POINTED EDGES. THIS LEAVES ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE AT RISK OF A LACERATION OR WORSE IF A COLLISION WERE TO OCCUR AND A CHUNK OF PLASTIC BECAME AIRBORNE AND IN CONTACT WITH VITAL AREAS OF THE BODY OR THE BODY WERE TO IMPACT THE DASH DIRECTLY WHERE THE POINTED EDGES ARE. ALSO THE MISSING PIECES ARE DROPPING INTO THE DASH ELECTRONICS AND VENTS CREATING A POSSIBLE MECHANICAL PROBLEM. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKING AND FALLING APART. PIECES DROPPING INTO DASH COMPONENTS CAUSING RATTLING. REFLECTION IN WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISUAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING ON SUNNY DAYS. *TR

THE FRONT DASHBOARD EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT IS CRACKED EVERYWHERE UP FRONT. *TR

I HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE OUT OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 UNTIL 2007. THAT'S WHEN THE FIRST CRACK CAME INTO BEING, WITH A CRACK I MIGHT ADD. I HERD THE SNAP AND LOOKED OVER AND A HUGE CRACK APPEARED. IT RAN STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, MORE OR LESS CUTTING THE DASH IN HALF. WELL IT WENT ALL DOWN HILL FROM THERE. ONE DAY IN 2010 I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOWS AND THE WIND CAUGHT A PIECE OF THE DASH AND FLIPPED IT IN MY FACE. I RAN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NEARLY WRECKED. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ROAD SIGN AT THE PLACE I RAN OFF THE ROAD, OR SOMEONE WALKING THERE AT THE TIME. AND HERE IS THE KICKER, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I GOT OFF...

CRACKED DASH PANEL TOP. *TR

OVER A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND ENDED UP FALLING APART COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. NOW THERE IS A PILE OF SHARP, BRITTLE, HARD, PLASTIC PIECES WITH MORE FALLING OUT EACH WEEK. IF EVER IN A CRASH THESE PIECES WILL FLY ALL OVER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK AND BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS CRACKED AND FALLING THROUGH. IT STARTED WITH SMALL CRACKS NOW ITS CRACKED BAD AND FALLING THROUGH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE PIECES ARE VERY SHARP. COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. *KB

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4WD PICKUP. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART, IT HAS HUGE CRACKS AND AM AFRAID TO PUT ANY PRESSURE ON IT BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL CAVE IN. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT THREE AGO AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE GOTTEN THE RUN AROUND FROM MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT IS WHY I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP THAT HAS A MYSTERIOUSLY CRACKING DASH PANEL. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A FRONT-END COLLISION OR ANYONE POUNDING ON THE DASH, AS I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN 2006 WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD ABOUT 63,000 MILES. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS UNTIL THE LAST YEAR OR SO WHEN I STARTED SEEING DIFFERENT WEBSITES WITH TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, PARTICULARLY CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND MORE SPECIFICALLY - PICKUP TRUCKS BETWEEN '97 - '02. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD ARISE DUE TO BROKEN PIECES DAMAGING ELECTRICAL WIRING OR COMPONENTS SUCH AS AIRBAG WIRING. ALSO, IT SEEMS A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY THAT THIS PLASTIC COULD BECOME DANGEROUS PROJECTED SHRAPNEL, IF YOU WILL, IN THE CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PLASTIC IS VERY BRITTLE AND SEEMS TO...

MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING 5 YRS AGO. I PUT A DASH BOARD COVER OVER THE DASH TO TRY TO PREVENT IT FROM CRACKING MORE,BUT IT DID NOT HELP. IT CONTINUES TO CRACK AND NOW HAS SOME PIECES MISSING BC IT HAS CRACKED SO BAD. *KB

DASHBOARD STARTING CRACKING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NOW IT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND WHEN I PUT THE HEAT ON MY WINDOW FOGS UP FROM THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. *KB

DASH HAVE BROKEN TO PIECES. AT TIMES A GOOD BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL CAUSE A PIECE TO BREAK AWAY. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE AIR BAG GOING OFF IN AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSING SHARDS OF THIS PLASTIC TO CAUSE WORSE INJURIES TO A PASSENGER THAN THE ACCIDENT ITSELF. THIS STARTED WITH A SMALL HOLE AND GROWN TO ALMOST THE ENTIRE DASH GONE. *TR

THE DASH OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 IS CRACKED AND BROKEN SO BADLY THAT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN A CRASH. DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, OR THE FORCES INCURRED DURING A CRASH, SHARDS OF PLASTIC FROM THE DASH CAN STRIKE THE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMONG DODGE RAM TRUCKS OF THIS DATE RANGE. IT IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, IN THE INTEREST OF OCCUPANT SAFETY, DODGE SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THE DASHES. *TR

DODGE RAM 1500 LST CRACKING DASH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY AND NOW CHUNKS OF IT FALLING THROUGH. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE! IT IS ALSO A NATIONWIDE ISSUE AS NOTED BY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF LODGED COMPLAINTS AND QUESTIONS AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DETAILED AND VACUUMING DUST OUT CAUSED MORE CRACKS AND ACTUALLY PIECES FELL THROUGH SO I HAVE JAGGED EDGES. ANYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO VACUUM THEIR DASH! DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DASHBOARD ACROSS NUMEROUS MODEL YEARS BEGINNING 2000. THE JAGGED EDGES ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WILL BE THE EXPOSED WIRING WHEN THE OTHER CRACKS CAVE IN. I WANT THIS REPLACED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR $1000 FOR IT. *TR

CRACKS AND HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500, SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY DODGE, SHAME ON THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED FOR ALMOST NINE YEARS WITH SHARP PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD EXPOSED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD PUNCTURE THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

THE DASH CONTINUES TO FALL APART, THE DASH BEZEL SURROUNDING THE GAUGES IS FALLING DOWN ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DASH WENT FROM A FEW MINOR CRACKS, TO HOLES IN THE DASH, TO A FULL COLLAPSE. EVERY BUMP ON THE ROAD ANOTHER PIECE FALLS OFF. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE BROKEN PIECES FLYING TOWARD MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF IN THE EVENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR OTHER DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO CORRECT THE FAILURE YET, I HAVE BEEN USING AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND FIX IT. *TR

DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK NEAR DEFROST VENTS. EVENTUALLY THEY WORKED THEIR WAY UP. DRIVER SIDE IS CRACKED AND THERE IS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP OF THE AIRBAG HOUSING. THERE IS ALSO A HOLE ON THAT SIDE AS WELL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE PLASTIC PIECES FILL FLY AROUND INSIDE THE CAB CAUSING INJURY. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 4X4 1500 TRUCK. A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO CRACK FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. NOW MY DASH HAS BIG HOLES IN IT WHERE THE DASH IS JUST FALLING APART. PARTS OF THE DASH HAVE FELL THROUGH INTO THE VENTS AND THEN JUST CRACKING OFF IN BIG PIECES. WHICH LEAVES THE AREA EXPOSED. I HAVE BEEN CUT WHEN THE PIECES JUST CRACK OFF AND THEY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES. I ALSO HAVE A SON THAT WAS INJURED WHEN HE APPLIED A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE, TRYING TO GET INTO THE TRUCK AND HIS HAND WENT THROUGH IT WHERE IT WAS SO BRITTLE AND JUST BROKE. HE WAS CUT PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE A BIG PIECE UNDER MY SEAT. MY DASH IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF BECAUSE I DON'T...

MY DASH IN MY 2001 DOGE RAM 1500 HAS CAVED IN. ALL MY WIRING IS EXSPOSED TO THE SUN. IT HASNT CAUSED TO BIG OF A SHORT YET BUT WHY WAIT TIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BEFORE YOU TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. YOU CAN LOOK MY TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK AROUND 2003, AND IS STILL CRACKING NOW.

WHEN IT IS COLD MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP SO BAD THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER AND STOP. THIS IS DUE TO THE BIG CRACKS, AND HOLES IN MY DASH BOARD. I ALMOST ORDERED A MOLDED DASH CAP, BUT I THOUGHT GLUING THIS CAP TO A BAD FOUNDATION (DASHBOARD) IS A BAD IDEA. DODGE NEEDS TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD, BECAUSE I THINK EVENTUALLY SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. THIS IS A DEFECT BECAUSE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING OVER LAST FEW YEARS AND NOW IS BASICALLY IMPLODING. I'M AFRAID THAT THE PIECES WILL GET STUCK INTO CRITICAL MECHANISM OR DAMAGE THE AIRBAG. ALSO, IF I WAS TO GET INTO AND ACCIDENT THERE WILL BE SHARP PLASTIC FLYING EVERYWHERE. *TR
