2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Structure Problems

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, ELECTRICAL ISSUES MAY ARISE, ALONG WITH SPEAKER FAILURE AND DASHBOARD LIGHT FAILURE. THE CRACK RUNS FRONT THE FRONT WINDOW TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DASHBOARD. MY 16 YEARS OLD DRIVES THIS TRUCK. IT IS NOT SAFE. DEALER SAYS NOT A RECALL ITEM, NOTHING TO DO. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY DODGE. SHOULD THIS VEHICLE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY, ELECTRICAL ISSUES MAY ARISE FROM THE VIBRATING OF THE DASHBOARD. DASHBOARDS DO NOT CRACK. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. A FEW YEARS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE DASH ON MY TRUCK WAS CRACKED. FAST FORWARD A FEW YEARS AND IT'S BUSTED INTO A DOZEN OR MORE PIECES. I JUST THOUGHT IS WAS JUST MY BAD LUCK UNTIL I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SEE ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT AND DISCOVERED THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY 2001 DODGE TRUCK HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM, SOME WORSE THAN MINE. IT APPEARS THAT DESPITE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IT THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE AIRBAG IS INSIDE THE DASH ALONG WITH ALL THE WIRING, A/C, ETC. THAT IS NOW EXPOSED. PERHAPS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT NOT BUY THEIR POORLY MADE PRODUCTS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. MY DASH BOARD HAS STARTED TO CRACK SEVERELY. AFTER REVIEWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE TRUCKS ON THE INTERNET I FELT THAT I TO SHOULD IN FROM SAFERCAR.GOV. THERE ARE CONCERNS OF LARGE PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD CRACKING AT ONCE AND SEVERING ELECTRICAL WIRING THAT CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND MAYBE FIRE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOUR DEPARTMENT COULD HELP ALL THE DODGE OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU *TR

CRACKING AND DISINTEGRATION OF COMPLETE DASH COVER EXPOSING ELECTRICAL AND OTHER CRITICAL COMPONENTS. *TR

DEFECT AMONG MULTIPLE OWNERS!!!! WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 V6 PICKUP, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT HAD A CLEAN ENGINE, CLEAN BODY, NO SCRATCHES, EXCEPT UNDER THE BED COVER, AND THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE DASH!!!! *TR NOW ONE YEAR LATER, I HAVE THIS HUGE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THAT RUNS FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT! I HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT CAME FROM, SO I CLICKED ON THIS SITE, FOR A DASH COVER, AND LUCKILY, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OF US WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX, FOR FREE! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE ANYTHING BUT A FACTORY FLAW, AND DODGE NEEDS TO DO A RE-CALL AND FIX THEM. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO, TO UNITE AND GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF ASAP? PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME...

HUGE CRACK IN THE DASH CAUSE DRYROTTING IN THE WIRING AND CAUSED HEADLIGHTS TO GROUND OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE BUT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE I HIT A DITCH AND IT CAUSED A MINOR INJURY TO MY BROTHER. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE> DODGE REFUSES TO EAT THE COST AND FIX THIS SUBSTANDARD DASH PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING REALLY BAD. MY ONLY REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT, THAT IF I HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG IS DEPLODE IS THERE A CHANCE THAT IT WILL EITHER BECOME AIRBORN AND FLY WITH THE AIR BAG AND BECOME EVEN MORE OF A DANGER OR IF IT WILL CUT THE AIRBAG AND MAKE IT NON USABLE .I'VE TALKED WITH A FEW FRIENDS AND ALL THERE DASHES ARE THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD THINK THAT DODGE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BUT I GUESS NOT..THANKS *TR

MY DASH CRACKED SEVERAL YEARS BACK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS WIPING IT DOWN AND SLICED MY HAND OPEN AND GOT TO LOOKING AT WHAT IT WAS THAT CUT MY HAND AND NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY HAD A REP. LOOK AT IT AND HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS NOT A DEFECT. SO I PROCEEDED HIGHER UP THE CHAIN BUT TO NO SURPRISE I DID NOT GET ANY HELP FORM THEM EITHER. THEY SAID THAT THERE REPS WORD IS THE FINAL DECISION. NOW AFTER 7 YEARS OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A CRACKED DASH OR SHOULD I SAY NO DASH. I MEAN I PRACTICALLY HAVE NO DASH LEFT IT HAS ALL JUST FELL IN. LEAVING MANY IMPORTANT EXPOSED WIRES DIRECT TO THE SUNLIGHT. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING...

THE DASH STARTED CRACKING FROM THE DEFROSTER AREA, I NOW HAVE NO DASH, HAVE A DASH COVER. NOW THE CONTROL PANEL IS CRACKING. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX, PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE REPLACED OUT OF POCKET AND THE NEW DASHBOARDS CRACKED AS WELL. I BELIEVE THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IS COMPROMISED THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY IF DEPLOYED. *TR

LARGE CRACKS BEGAN APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD AT 57,000 MILES. TWO OF THESE CRACKS RUN ACROSS THE ENTIRE SURFACE LENGTH (FROM FWD BACK). VEHICLE NOW HAS 95,000 MILES. I AM UNSURE OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE, AND THE HAZARD THEY MAY POSE TO VITAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS LOCATED THERE IN. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM IS CRACKING AND CRUMBLING. I CONTACTED DODGE'S (LACK OF) CUSTOMER SERVICE (THEIR REFERENCE NUMBER 1Z256049, REPS NAME WAS JESSICA). THEY TOLD ME (IN SO MANY WORDS) THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVE MY MONEY NOW AND ARE NO LONGER CONCERNED WITH MY RETURNING AS A CUSTOMER. SO THIS IS HOW THE "NEW DODGE" IS IMPROVING THE COMPANY??? IF THEY DO NOT STEP-UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE HONORABLE THING, SHAME ON THEM. THEIR REPUTATION WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THUS THEY WILL CERTAINLY PAY FOR THEIR SHAMEFUL METHODS IN THE END. REGARDS, JOSH *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCK AND THE WHOLE DASH IS CRACKED AND FALLING IN. I DO KNOW THAT THIS SITUATION WAS ON THE NEWS ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND I DID FILE MY REPORT BUT I STILL DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT DODGE PLANS TO DO WITH THIS SITUATION. *TR

SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD HAVE LEFT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS EXPOSED AND HAVE CAUSED CONCERN OVER THE SAFETY AND STABILITY OF THE DASH AND FRONT AIRBAG DURING A CRASH. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH BOARD AND BEZEL HAVE SEVERELY CRACKED. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT DODGE HAS USED INFERIOR MATERIALS (PLASTICS) IN MAKING THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE AIR BAG EVER DEPLOYS SHRAPNEL WILL FLY! WHEN THE CRACKS FIRST HAPPENED I DID COMPLAIN TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK, AT THE TIME, WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS A "SORRY WE CAN NOT HELP YOU BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT UNDER A RECALL." THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS WANT ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM WITH A SOLUTION FROM DODGE. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART. TRUCK IS IMMACULATE BUT MY DASH LOOKS LIKE A ROADMAP. CRACKS START AT THE DEFROST VENTS AND CONTINUE UP DASH MEETING EACH OTHER IN PLACES. I KNOW 9 PEOPLE THAT OWN RAMS IN MY AREA AND ALL 9 HAVE CRACKED DASHBOARDS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I LOVE DODGE BUT IF THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT AND FIX WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED THEY WILL LOSE ME AS A CONSUMER FOREVER. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY CRUMBLING AWAY. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ADMITTED TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF THE DASH COMPONENT. PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH REPLACEMENT DEMAND. DODGE IS SELECTIVELY COVERING REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER AFFAIRS THEY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO EFFECT ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKING. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND IS NOW STARTING TO FALL APART. WITHOUT HAVING TO RESEARCH VERY LONG ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE UNDER A MASS RECALL. ONCE THE DASH BEGINS TO FALL APART WIRING BEGINS TO MELT CAUSING LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENTS TO CEASE WORKING OR MALFUNCTION PUTTING EVERYONE AT RISK. THIS IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD FOR EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER GIVEN ITS CURRENT CONDITION AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE. *TR

MY DODGE RAM 1500 DASH HAS CRACKED IN NUMEROUS PLACES. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS MONTHS AGO. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 BRAND NEW. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I STARTED NOTICING HAIRLINE CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. FAST FORWARD TO 2008, AND NOW I HAVE A GAPING CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY PROBLEM. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT A SHARP PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC COULD DO IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. WHAT ELSE CAN WE, THE PUBLIC, DO? *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK HAS CRACKED AND I BELIEVE MAY BE AFFECTING MY CONTROL PANEL (ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER). I WENT TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ONE AFTERNOON AND THE WHOLE CONTROL PANEL WASN'T WORKING. I ALSO HAVE SOME KIND OF FUMES COMING FROM MY VENTS WHENEVER I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT OR DEFROST WHICH MAY BE RELATED TO THE DASHBOARD ALSO. MY DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE AIR ISN'T GOING WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO.

UNBELIEVABLE PROBLEM TO HAVE ON A TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN SO PAMPERED. RARELY DRIVEN ON LESS THAN PAVED ROADS, MAINTAINED RELIGIOUSLY, IMMACULATE INTERIOR. IMAGINE MY SHOCK TO DISCOVER SEVERAL HUGE CRACKS IN THE DASH! ONE STARTS AT THE TOP TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE OTHER INTERSECTS ACROSS. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR CONSIDERATION, BUT AFTER READING THESE POSTS I'M NOT HOLDING OUT MUCH HOPE FOR A REASONABLE RESOLUTION. WHAT A GINORMOUS PIECE OF CRAP. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS FALLEN APART PIECE BY PIECE. WIRES ARE NOW DANGEROUSLY EXPOSED AND THE BROKEN PIECES COULD TURN INTO DANGEROUS, SHARP FLYING DEBRIS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 WITH A BADLY CRACKED DASHBOARD. A FEW HOLES ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE CRACKS SPLINTER ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM AFRAID FOR ANYONE WHO RIDES IN MY VEHICLE. *TR
