2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Structure Problems

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FALLEN APART. THERE ARE NOW HOLES IN IT. WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL ON IT BUT TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR IT, AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS THIS, IF SO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE US ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2001 DODGE, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING WHEN THEY MOLDED THE PLASTIC. WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INVESTMENT THAT IS FALLING APART, THAT IS THEIR FAULT? NOT ONLY HAS THE DASH CRACKED ON OUR AUTO BUT, THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BUSTED LOOSE FROM THE PLASTIC AND IS NOW LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH. THE HEADLINER AND ONE OF THE INTERIOR FOLD DOWN MIRRORS HAS COME APART. THIS AUTO IS LITERALLY FALLING APART IN THE...

THE DASH BOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK STARTED TO CRACK ABOUT 3 YRS AGO AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER EVER SINCE. DODGE HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE MY FIRST CALL IN SEPT 2006. EVERY 01 DODGE I'VE SEEN HAS A CRACKED DASH BOARD COVERED WITH A DASH CARPET/COVER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED! DODGE IS/WAS A GREAT COMPANY I THOUGHT.

2001 RAM 1500 SPORT. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS CLOSER TO THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS LIKE '!@#$% I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK, I DO NOT USE OILS ON IT SINCE MY EYES GET IRRITATED BY IT. AT TIMES I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR SOMETHING CRACKING IN THE DASHBOARD, I LOOK BUT DON'T SEE ANY NEW CRACKS VISIBLE. ALTHOUGH NOW MY DASH IS CRACKED VERY BAD. IT'S SPREADING AND IS RIDICULOUS. THE TRUCK LOOKS NEW, BUT YOU GET IN IT AND SEE THE BIG EYE SOAR ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS UNAWARE OF BEING ABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT FIGURING IT WAS A FLUKE. BUT NOW I HAVE LEARNED THERE ARE ALOT OF DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME OR WORSE ISSUE. HOW ABOUT A NEW DASH COVER OR SOMETHING. PLEASE STAND...

WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IT'S IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT THE DASH, IT IS FALLING APART I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DASH THAT LOOKED THIS BAD . I THINK IT IS PROBABLY DANGEROUS! IT GOT A SMALL CRACK ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AND NOW ITS AWFUL AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME . I STARTED LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT DASH AND RAN ACROSS COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL STATES THAT HAD EVEN HAD IT ON THE NEWS. *TR

THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CRACK APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, FIRST THERE WAS A SINGLE CRACK BEGINNING CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CROSSING THE DASH ENDING IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. SINCE THEN SEVERAL OTHER CRACKS HAVE SURFACED THAT ARE BEGINNING TO AFFECT THE DEFROST, HEATING/AC AND MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AIR BOG OPERATION AND POSSIBLE THE UNDER DASH WIRING. MULTIPLE OTHER REPORTS IDENTIFY THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP EXT. CAB/SHORT BED. LIKE MOST OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS OF THAT YEAR, MY DASH IS COMPLETELY FALLING APART. THERE ARE CRACKS ALL OVER IT AND TWO LARGE HOLES HAVE CAVED IN ON THE DASH. I HAVE ANOTHER HOLE GETTING READY TO CAVE IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE NOTICED ON MANY WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 1996-2001 DODGE RAM TRUCKS AND DODGE WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT ISN'T A "RECALL ISSUE". *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED AND FELL INTO BOTTOM OF DASH BY RADIO HEATER CORE ETC. *TR

MAJOR CRACKS APPEARED ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DASHBOARD. THERE ARE TWO SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN THE DASH THAT EXTENDED WITHIN ONE DAY. YESTERDAY NO CRACK IN DASH, TODAY TWO MAJOR ONES. CONCERNED THAT THE DAMAGE WILL NOT CEASE AND MAY CRACK IN OTHER AREAS POSSIBLY EXPOSING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR BECOME UNSAFE FOR PASS AGERS WHERE THERE ARE SHARP SHARDS. *TR

MY DASH IS CRACKING TO PIECES; FALLING APART. THE INSIDE OF THE DASH IS BEING EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND I FEAR THAT THE SUN OR THE BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL DAMAGE THE WIRING. *TR

HELLO: THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE CRACKING DASHBOARD ON THE 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT. THE CRACKS REALLY STARTED AND BECAME NOTICEABLE WHEN THE TRUCK HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT. NOW THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS AND A LARGE HOLE IN THE DASH. THIS TRUCK IS NOT USED OFFROAD.... IT MOSTLY SITS. RIGHT NOW IT ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM.... MANY OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MAIN DODGE WEBSITE....TWICE.... THEY ACT LIKE THIS IS NO PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES. I CHECKED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP.... THEY WAY THEY TALKED.... THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE IS NOT A LOT THEY CAN DO.... THE HELP WILL HAVE TO COME FROM HEADQUARTERS. TO ME.... DODGE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY IF THEY GET BAILOUT...

I BOUGHT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 NOV 2004, EVERYTHING ON MY DASH WAS FINE. I WENT ON A DETACHMENT FOR TWO WEEKS AND WHEN I GOT BACK I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DASH. I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. SO I STARTED LOOKING FOR A NEW ONE AND NO ONE SOLD IT ONLINE EXCEPT FOR IN THE JUNKYARDS WHICH MOST OF THEM WERE WORSE THEN MINE. I WENT ON CRUISE AT THE END OF 2005. MY FATHER HAD MY TRUCK WHILE I WAS GONE. WHEN I HAD RETURNED NOT ONLY DID THE CRACK GET BIGGER BUT A HOLE GREW RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DASH. MY DASH IS IN TWO PIECES NOW AND IS A HAZARD TO MY CHILD AND MYSELF. I CAN'T TURN MY AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN FEAR THAT...

THE DASH BOARD ON MY TRUCK STARTED TO CRACK AND PIECES HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE WIRES COULD BE SHORTED AND IN AN ACCIDENT SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC COULD FLY INSIDE THE CABIN INJURING PASSENGERS. DODGE SHOULD INDICATE A WORK ORDER TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED DASHES. *TR

THERE WAS NO SINGULAR EVENT THAT CAUSED THIS FAILURE. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. NEW CRACKS APPEAR IN PLACES RANDOMLY AND PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE- DODGE OFFERED TO REPLACE THE PART FOR $600 PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. DURING AN ACCIDENT CHUNKS FROM THE DASH CAN FLY OUT AND BE PROPELLED BY THE AIRBAG. DODGE MUST REPLACE THIS PART FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T DRIVE MY TRUCK VERY OFTEN, I ONLY USE IT FOR PERSONAL USE. SO THEREFORE IT IS NOT ABUSED IN ANYWAY. IT HAS ONLY 94,000 MILES AND WAS KEPT UNDER A CARPORT FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE. THE ONLY REASON I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS TO HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL. I DID SOME WEB SURFING AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS COUNTLESS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAID THAT DODGE RESPONDED TO THERE PROBLEMS WITH IT NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I BEG TO DIFFER, I READ ON ONE ACCOUNT THAT A WOMAN WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN HER DASH FELL AND SHORTED OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO HER LIGHTS. JUST THE SHEER FACT OF THE DASH FALLING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT LET...

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE 1500 RAM PICKUP. IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2001. I BABY THIS VEHICLE. IT ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT TO DATE. FOR NO REASON THE DASH STARTED TO CRACK, THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, THE DASH EXPLODED LEAVING A HUGE CRATER IN MY DASH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT ME. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2001 2500 DODGE RAM PICKUP AND THE DASH HAS NOW STARTED CRACKING IN HIS TRUCK. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING TO THE DODGE TRUCKS, BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A RECALL THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OF THESE TRUCKS, AND THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE...

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICK-UP TRUCK AND THE DASHBOARD HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN IN. IT BEGAN WITH MINOR CRACKS AND THEN BIGGER CHUNKS THEN IT FELL IN. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON THE DODGE RAM 2001 TRUCK IS CRACKED AND KEEPS CRACKING MORE AND MORE. I AM AFRAID THAT SOON IT WILL CRACK COMPLETELY LEAVING ME WITHOUT A DASHBOARD AT ALL. AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS EXACT TRUCK. THIS IS STARTING TO BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IT CRACKS AND FALLS INTO THE ELECTRICAL COMPARTMENT, A FIRE OR DEVICE SHORTAGE COULD OCCUR. THE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT PLUS LABOR IS $600-$700. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM SO THAT EVERYONE CAN BE SAFE OUT ON THE ROAD AND NOT WORRY THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A WRECK OR FIRE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2001 DODGE RAM NEW AND IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS IT BEGAN TO CRACK. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS PIECES BEGIN TO BREAK OUT. NOW I HAVE NO DASH CAP LEFT. WHEN IT BEGIN CRACKING, ABOUT 15 MONTHS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AND SHOULD NOT GET WORST. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN HE ROAD AND HEARD THIS LOUD POP AND PULLED OVER THINKING A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I NOTICED THEN THE DASH WAS CRACKED AND SEPARATED. NOW I CAN STICK MY ARM IN PARTS OF MY DASH. I HAVE HOLES AND CRACKS ALL OVER THE DASH AND PIECES KEEP FALLING OUT WHILE I DRIVE. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP AND THE DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THESE ARE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS ONE COMES FROM DEFROST VENT TOWARDS DRIVER AND HAS STARTED TO CURVE DOWN TOWARD INSTRUMENT PANEL, ONE OTHER HAS GONE BEHIND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AT WHAT POINT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO RECALL WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED? *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGER RAM 1500 THAT I BOUGHT USED AROUND NOV. 2005. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE DASH, BUT THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER AROUND 50,000 MILES, I NOTICED A COUPLE OF CRACKS NEAR THE WINDSHIELD GOING ACROSS THE DEFROST VENTS. SINCE THEN MY DASH HAS ABOUT 12-15 CRACKS IN IT ALL GOING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY TO THE INSTRUMENT BEZEL AND THE AREA NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE SITUATION ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN IT STARTED TO GET REAL BAD AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RAN ON IT (IT IS A PLASTIC DASH, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO RUN). AFTER HAVING A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC INSPECT THE DASH AND TELL ME "YEP, ITS CRACKED" AND TOLD ME THAT "IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM...

2001 DODGE RAM DASHBOARD WITH SEVERE CRACKS - DEFECTIVE PART - POOR WORKMANSHIP - SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE FLEW BACK INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE WINDSHIELD SUSTAINED A DOZEN OR MORE CRACKS, BUT DID NOT SHATTER. HE STRUGGLED WITH THE HOOD IN ORDER TO KEEP IT FROM BLOCKING HIS VIEW, AND MANAGED TO TIE THE HOOD DOWN TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 127,000.

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH CRACKED, THEN CRACKED AGAIN, AND IS NOW BREAKING APART. PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY SOON BE AFFECTED, COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR/ MAKE OF VEHICLE DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *TR

I AM ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE 2001 DODGE RAM DASH BOARD CRACK UP. THIS STARTED IN 2003 AND CONTINUES TODAY. THE DEALER SAYS I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE PLASTIC PIECES OF DASH BOARD FALLING INTO MY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. I WORRY WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN/IF I GET INTO A MISHAP. WHEN IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO RECALL THESE DASHES? DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED? IF THERE IS A RECALL, I CANNOT FIND IT BUT KNOW I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP. THE DASHBOARD IS BADLY CRACKED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS. NO ACTION HAS YET BEEN TAKEN TO CORRECT HE DEFECT. *TR
