2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Structure Problems

DASHBOARD CRACKING - VEHICLE IS ALWAYS COVERED OR GARAGED OR UNDER A COVERED PARKING SPOT. DASH STARTED CRACKING AROUND MAY 2010 WHILE LIVING IN OKLAHOMA AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. PIECES HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN INTO THE VENTS, AND WHEN THE DEFROST IS TURNED ON OR WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON, SMALL TO MEDIUM PIECES FLY OUT AND CAN HIT SOMEONE, MYSELF OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN THE EYE. AND IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED, PIECES COULD BREAK OFF AND DO MORE INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. I HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE FOREHEAD WITH PIECES ALREADY. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND LITTLE PIECES OF PLASTIC ARE COMING OUT OF THE AC. *TR

DASH BOARD HAS SHATTERED AND THE AIR CONDITION/HEATER DOES NOT BLOW. *TR

I HAVE EMAILED DODGE MANY YEARS AGO ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE OF MY DASH BUSTING IN SEVERAL PLACES WHEN MY TRUCK WAS JUST ONE YEAR OLD. THE ONLY RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS AN OFFER TO BUY A DISCOUNTED DASH. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I REALIZE MY TRUCK IS NOW 12 YEARS OLD BUT THIS HAPPENED IN ONLY 1 YEAR. I HAVE SINCE READ WHERE I AM NO WHERE NEAR ALONE. DODGE KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING SINCE 2006, NOW DASHBOARD HAS COMPLETELY CRUMBLED APART. TOTALLY UNSAFE HAZARDOUS SITUATION NOW. *TR

DASHBOARD BEGIN CRACKING AND FINALLY IN A COUPLE DAYS OF WEEKS BROKE APART COMPLETELY AS I HAD BEEN IN A CRASH.I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY SAID THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.I TOLD THEM I HAVE 1992 FORD AEROSTAR WHOSE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY .INTACT AND THAT IT WAS MUCH OLDER IT HAD TO BE A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THEY OFFER TO PAY HALF WHICH MEANT I HAD TO PAY 500.00 DOLLARS, WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE. I FELT THEY SHOULD PAY ALL OF IT. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE RPM ACCELERATE WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL.I TOOK MANY TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT THEY NEVER DID. *TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED ON IS FALLING APART INTO PIECES. THESE PIECES ARE FALLING INTO THE DASH AND DEFROSTER VENT. IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS IT WILL SEND PLASTIC INTO THE AIR. *TR

DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING - DEALER SAID OUT OF WARRANTY - CRACKING HAS CONTINUED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 44000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE AWFUL DASHBOARD PROBLEM. IF I EVER HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT THE DASHBOARD WILL COME APART AND CAUSE ADDED INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. IT IS TIME FOR RAM TO STEP UP AND GIVE SOME HELP TO ALL ITS CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN VARIOUS PICTURES SHOWING THE DASHBOARDS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. THIS IS CLEARLY BEYOND A COSMETIC ISSUE AND INTO A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DASH IS CRACKING EVERYWHERE AND PIECES ARE FALLING OFF, DOUBT THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CRASH THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD WORK PROPERLY, AND IF IT DID OR DID NOT, LITTLE PIECE OF THE DASH WOULD FLY EVERY WHERE AND CUT THE PASSENGERS AND THE AIR BAG. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING BELOW IS CHRYSLERS RESPONSE, LIKE THEY THREATEN YOU THAT IF YOU EMAIL AGAIN IT WILL GO IN THE CORPORATE RECORDS, I TOLD THEM I HOPE THAT IT DID. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO RETAIN CUSTOMERS AND SELL NEW TRUCKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT EMAIL, ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY INFORMATION THAT WOULD CAUSE A CHANGE IN THE PREVIOUS DECISION. YOUR REQUEST MUST AGAIN BE RESPECTFULLY DECLINED. ANY FUTURE COMMUNICATION RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WILL BE RETAINED IN CORPORATE RECORDS. *TR

DASH PANEL CAVING IN AND CRACKING ALL OVER. PARTS OF THE DASH HAVE BROKEN OFF AND FALLEN INSIDE THE CONSOLE CREATING A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SCENARIO OF DAMAGED WIRING OR DEBRIS FLYING OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING IN 2010 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. IT NOW HAS OPEN HOLES AND COMPLETELY CRACKED. AND SINCE THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS SITUATION I HAVE NOW FOUND OUT TO BE VERY COMMON FOR MY TRUCK AND NOW REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT COMMON WEAR FOR THIS OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT EXCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCT FAILURE AND THAT IT'S UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THE COSTLY REPAIRS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARLY A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF AND SHOULD AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER BE FIXED. *TR

DASH CAME APART , CRACKING PIECES FALLING DOWN INSIDE VENTS,SHARP PIECES EVERYWHERE DUE TO POOR MATERIAL AND CHEAP CRAFTSMANSHIP DODGE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED OVER THEM NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE THAT EVERY DODGE OWNER HAS SUFFERED FROM MAN UP AND MAKE IT RIGHT YOU DON'T MIND STICKING YOUR HAND OUT WHEN ITS TIME TO BUY YOUR TRUCKS. *TR

DRIVING ON FLAT SURFACE STREET, HEARD LOUD POPPING NOISE. LATER REALIZED IT WAS THE DASH POPPING AND NOTICED MULTIPLE STRAIGHT CRACKS BEGINNING IN THE CORNERS OF DASH VENTS, GRADUALLY EXPANDING. CREATES MULTIPLE SMALL, SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC. POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS PROJECTILES OF PLASTIC IF EVER THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY NOT TO MENTION NOW THAT THE ENTIRE DASH IS WEAKENED SMALL PARTS INTERMITTENTLY FALL INTO THE DASH AREA CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE GAUGES, CAUSING WARNING LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE AND POTENTIAL FOR FIRE IS OBVIOUS CONSIDERING OTHER DODGE RECALLS FOR WIRING PROBLEMS IN THIS MODEL TRUCK. *JS

I HAD JUST HAD THE MOTOR REBUILT, AT THE DEALER, AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ON THE WAY HOME I HEARD A CRACKING NOISE, AND NOTICED THE DASH HAD A SPLIT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. SINCE THEN THE DASH PART NEXT TO THE WINDSHIELD, HAS HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS, AND TOTALLY FALLEN APART. *TR

VEHICLE HAS SEVERE DASH CRACKING. POWER WINDOWS ARE NOT WORKING AND LAMP INDICATOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING ONGOING BEEPING. CONCERNED THAT DASH PARTS ARE STUCK INSIDE CAUSING DRIVING CONDITIONS TO BE UNSAFE. WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED IF AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS AT DEALER COST. *TR

THE DASH COVER THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED CAUSING PIECES OF PLASTIC TO BRAKE OFF AND ENTER THE BLOWER MOTOR. THERE WAS ALSO PIECES OF PLASTIC FROM THE DASH THAT FELL OFF AND AND MADE IT TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND COULD HAVE BLOCKED THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED. *TR

DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND IS FALLING APART. THERE ARE SEVERAL JAGGED EDGES WHICH ARE A SAFETY RISK THAT COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY IF VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A DEFECT WITH THEIR MATERIAL WITHIN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND IS FALLING APART. MANY SPOTS ON THE DASH THAT COULD SEVERELY INJURE AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE CRACKS WHEN DEFROST IS TURNED ON PIECES OF FOAM AND PLASTIC SHOOT OUT. DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A DEFECT WITH THEIR MATERIAL WITHIN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A DEFECT WITH THEIR MATERIAL WITHIN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY TRUCK HAS DISINTEGRATED TO THE POINT THAT I HAD TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE I WAS SCARED THAT ONE OF MY KIDS WOULD GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER CO. SHOULD INITIATE A FULL RECALL AND REPLACE THE PLASTIC DEATH TRAPS THEY INSTALLED IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING BADLY---POSSIBLE SHARP SHREDS IF ACCIDENT OCCURS--POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH DEFROST IF PIECES OF DASH CLOG DEFROST VENTS--VEHICLE WAS GARAGE KEPT FOR MOST OF IT 9 YRS---VEHICLE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION OTHER THAN DASH FALLING APART---THANK YOU *TR

THE VEHICLES DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART, CRACKING UP LIKE THIN POTATO CHIPS. NO ABUSE TO THE VEHICLE OF ANY KIND. IT IS JUST CRACKING UP FROM POOR LOUSY PLASTIC THAT CAN'T HANDLE WEATHER CONDITIONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DODGE/CHRYSLER/FIAT SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS THE DASHBOARD PLASTICS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS MOST OF THERE TRUCKS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A LARGE FRACTURE, WHICH SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. ... UPDATED 02/28/13 *BF

DASH BOARD CRACKED AND FELL IN LEAVING SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC ALL OVER DASH BOARD. PLASTIC HAS FALLEN INTO DEFROSTER VENTS. NOW NO HEAT ON LEFT SIDE OF TRUCK. *TR

DASH IS CONTINUOUSLY CRACKING AND FALLING APART. *TR

I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG, CRACK MY DASH CRACKED FROM FRONT END TO ALMOST THE BACK. THE CRACK CAUSED ME TO JUMP SWERVE MY TRUCK ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DODGE HAS BEEN NO HELP AND MY DASH HAS DETERIORATED EVEN MORE EVER SINCE, I'M GETTING VERY WORRIED IT MIGHT AFFECT THE AIR BAGS AS ALL THE DASH PIECES FALL INTO THE RECESS WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE WHICH WOULD BE A BAD THING SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

STARTING IN OCTOBER OF '08 I NOTICE A SMALL VERTICAL CRACK IN MY DASH ON THE TOP OF MY DASH BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE RADIO. SINCE THEN THE CRACK HAS GROWN AND THEN A PIECE BROKE OFF AND TOO MY SURPRISE IS VERY SHARP. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK (6-7 INCHES LONG) NEAR THE AIR BAG OF THE PASSENGER. I FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD CAUSE PARTICLES OF PLASTIC TO BE THROWN AT HIGH SPEEDS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS A USED RAM AND IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE CRACK WAS THERE PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR NOT. BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER HEAT, THE VINYL EXPANDS WHICH CLOSES THE GAP AND NOW THE COLD WEATHER CONTRACTS IT AND REVEALS THE CRACK. THIS CONTINUOUS EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING COULD CAUSE, OVER TIME, THE VINYL TO BECOME WEAK AND BREAK DOWN FURTHER. *TR

HI, I READ AN ARTICLE BY CHANNEL 6 NEWS PROBLEM SOLVERS IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. THAT DID A REPORT ON DASHBOARDS COLLAPSING IN 2002 DODGE RAM AND OTHER MODELS. IN THE ARTICLE, IT SHOWED THAT DODGE WAS REPLACING THE DASHBOARDS AT A COST OF $100 TO THE CUSTOMER. 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, MY DASH STARTED CRACKING. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A 2003 QUAD CAB AND HE WAS EXPERIENCING CRACKS IN HIS DASH IN THE EXACT SAME SPOTS. A YEAR LATER HE TRADED HIS TRUCK IN AND I STILL HAVE MINE. MY DASH IS STILL CONTINUING TO CRACK TO THIS DAY. SINCE MY DASH STARTED CRACKING, I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK. MY STEREO IS MESSING UP. MY A/C AND BLOWER MOTOR DON'T WORK RIGHT. MY HEATER CORE LEAKS. IN SUMMER TIME I HAVE NO A/C. IN WINTER I HAVE NO HEAT AND NO WINDOW DEFROSTER....

MAIN DASH BEGAN CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. FORWARD DASH PANEL HAS NOW CRACKED AND SPLIT INTO MANY SEPARATE PIECES CREATING LOOSE, SHARP, PLASTIC MATERIALS WHICH POSE A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. SOME OF THE PIECES HAVE CRACKED AWAY AND HAVE FALLEN BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SOME HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DUCT WORK AS WELL. HAVING OCCURRED ON MANY DODGE RAMS, THIS CREATES A WIDE-SPREAD SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT JUST AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THE AFFECTED YEARS AND THE FAULTY DASH PANELS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO PREVENT ANY UNNECESSARY INJURIES OR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

I WAS REAR ENDED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY DASH BOARD SUSTAINED MULTIPLE FRACTURES. PART OF THE DASH BOARD FRACTURED AND BECAME AIRBORNE IN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS THE SIZE OF AN IPHONE. THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER PART OF THE DASHBOARD WHERE A HOLE IS PRESENT AND THE DASH BOARD IS SUNKEN IN. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUES. PHOTOS WERE FORWARDED TO MY ATTORNEY. *TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREA'S CAUSING SHARP EDGES IN THE DASH. VERY EASY FOR KIDS TO CUT THERE HANDS. ALSO IF VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT THE SHARP EDGES WOULD COME LOSE HITTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE CAUSING BODILY HARM. *TR

CRACKS BEGIN TO APPEAR IN THE DASHBOARD IN APRIL 2009 JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND HAVE NOW BEGAN TO SHOW UP IN THE MAIN DASHBOARD CAP. A LARGE GAPING SLIT NEAR THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY APPEAR ON JULY 5, 2012. ON JULY 11, 2012 POWER WAS LOST TO THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE HAZARDS, TURNING SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND ONE HEAD LIGHT. REQUESTED ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE CHRYSLER/DODGE, OFFICIAL WEBSITE POSSIBLE RECALLS AND I WAS CONTACTED VIA PHONE 24 HOURS LATER WITH A CONFIRMATION THAT NO PENDING OR MISSED RECALLS WERE IN PLACE FOR THE TRUCK. WHEN ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY SOLUTIONS TO THE COMPLAINTS OF CRACKED DASHBOARDS IN THE DODGE RAM 1500 MADE IN 2002, THE REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO KNOWN COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR THE DASHBOARD AND PROVIDED NO RESOURCE IN BETTER REPLACEMENT PART. SCHEDULED TO HAVE VEHICLE CHECK THE WEEK OF JULY...

THE DASHBOARD IN THE 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS MULTIPLE HAIRLINE CRACKS AND PIECES ARE BEGINNING TO FALL BEHIND THE DASH. I'M AFRAID THAT THESE PIECES COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS, HEATING / COOLING SYSTEM, OR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THERE COULD BE FRAGMENTS THAT BREAK APART AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE EYE DAMAGE OR SEVERE LACERATIONS. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE DASH CAP IN MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY VERY SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A COLLISION RESULTING IN UNNECESSARY INJURY TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD TRIGGER A FULL RECALL OF ALL TRUCKS AFFECTED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY START A RECALL. I MYSELF HAVE CUT MY FINGERS AND HANDS JUST WIPING OFF THE DASH BOARD WHILE CLEANING. I BEG OF YOU TO START AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED VERY BADLY IN AN ACCIDENT BY THESE SHARDS BECOMING PROJECTILES. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS. PLEASE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY! *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY DODGE RAM IS DISINTEGRATING INTO SHARP POINTED SHARDS OF PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC MATERIAL WHICH MAKES UP THE DASH HAS CHANGED IN IT CHARACTERISTICS SO AS TO BECOME QUITE BRITTLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE SHARDS TO BECOME PROJECTILES AND/OR ANYTHING COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE DASH CAUSING THE DASH TO FREELY BREAK APART INTO HUNDREDS OF KNIFE-LIKE BLADES AND CAUSING INJURY, IS IMMINENT. WE HAVE MADE GIANT STRIDES IN VEHICLE OCCUPANT SAFETY BY REQUIRING SHATTER PROOF GLASS, REQUIRING OCCUPANTS TO USE SEATBELTS, ETC. . NOW WE ARE FACING OTHER DILEMMAS WHERE MANUFACTURERS HAVE INTRODUCED MATERIALS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF VEHICLES WHICH MAY NEGATE THOSE SAFETY PROGRESSIVE INNOVATION GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO IMPLEMENT. ALTHOUGH MY CURRENT CONCERN MAY BE PREVENTIVE IN NATURE I BELIEVE ANY REASONABLE AND PRUDENT PERSON CAN EASILY DEDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR GRAVE HARM WHICH MAY BEFALL THE CONSUMER UNDER THE RIGHT...

MY DASH HAS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND IS IN PIECES,(SHARP PIECES), IT COULD AFFECT THE WIRING IN MY DASH, IF I DID HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS IN THE DASH COULD THROW THOSE SHARP PIECES AT ME AND MY PASSENGERS. NOTE: THESE CRACK WERE AT NO FAULT OF MINE OR MY PASSENGERS. THE CRACKS STARTED TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW.

DASH CRACKED,CUT FINGER ON IT AND THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE. PIECES COULD FLY UP AND HIT ME IN THE FACE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. SHARP EDGES ARE EXPOSED CAUSING A POSSIBLE CUTTING HAZARD. *TR

THIN CRACKS APPEARED ON UPPER RIGHT OF THE MAIN RADIATOR, FLUID LEAKING OUT. CAR HAD NOT SUSTAINED ANY ACCIDENT AND IS A CLEAN TITLE. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT INFERIOR PRODUCTS/POLYMERS WERE USED TO MANUFACTURE THIS RADIATOR. THIS IS NOT AN AFTERMARKET RADIATOR, BUT THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AND SHARDS OF HARD, SHARP, PLASTIC IS FALLING INTO INTERIOR. SHARDS ARE ALSO BECOMING PROJECTILES WHEN THEY DISLODGE FROM DASHBOARD. WHILE CLEANING OR TOUCHING DASHBOARD, PERSONAL INJURY OCCURS BY BEING STABBED AND/OR CUT BY THESE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. NO INCIDENT OCCURRED TO MAKE THIS ISSUE A USER PROBLEM. NO EXTREME HOT/COLD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

THE DASH BOARD OF MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 IS FALLING APART. THERE HAS BEEN NO ABUSE TO WHAT SO EVER BUT NOW I HAVE A GIANT HOLES IN IT AND ITS CRACKING ALL OVER THE PLACE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I WANT IT FIXED ITS GONNA COST ME ALMOST $3000 (FOR PARTS AND LABOR). I'VE ALREADY CUT MYSELF ON A PIECE OF SHARP BROKEN PLASTIC SO IT VERY WELL COULD HURT SOMEONE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! *TR

I HAVE 2002 DODGE RAM THE DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING, IT HAS FALLEN APART AND IS GETTING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRING AND AS WELL AS FALLING INTO PARTS OF MY A/C. THE PIECES OF THE DASH HAVE FALLEN INTO THE A/C FAN CAUSING MY A/C TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD BEGAN EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE CRACKS, RESULTING IN SHARP EDGES AND PIECES THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING, CAUSING VARIOUS SAFETY RISKS. *TR

CRACKED DASH. *TR

MY DASH ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN FALLING APART AND DROPPING INTO MY VENTS. IT IS SO BAD I HAD TO PUT CARPET OVER IT. NOW I'M HAVING HEATER REPAIRS DONE ON IT. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY WON'T DO A THANG ABOUT IT. I HAVE KIDS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE CUT THEMSELVES ON THE SHARP PIECES ON THE DASH. I HAD TO TAKE ONE TO THE DR. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ON ALL THE TRUCK DASHES NOW. *TR

DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE POINTS NEAR VENTS AND NOW COMING ACROSS THE TOP OF PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. THERE IS SO MANY FINE CRACKS ACROSS POINT NEAR WINDSHIELD AND VENTS. IF AIR BAG WAS TO DEPLOY I FEEL THAT SHARDS OF DASH WILL BE FLYING WITHIN THE CAB DUE TO THE WAY THAT THE CRACK IS IN VICINITY OF AIRBAG. *TR

AT 48,000 MILES AND ONLY 3 YEARS OLD MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING . NOW IT IS CRACKED ALL OVER AND STARTING TO RUN DOWN THE CENTER TOWARDS THE FLOOR. I KNOW THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DODGE RAM DASBOARDS AND IT IS TIME THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH OF HOW TO FIX MY DASHBOARD WHICH IS NOW SEVERELY CRACKED THAT IT'S CAVING IN, THAT DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND IS NOT FIXING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE ARE NOW SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC DASH THAT COULD HURT MYSELF OR PASSENGER IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS TRYING TO FIND HOW TO FIX MY DASH BUT NOW SEE DODGE IS AT LEAST REPAIRING SOME DASHES OR PAYING HALF TOWARDS REPLACING THE DASH. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IF DODGE IS NOW STARTING TO FIX OR AT LEAST ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500, A 2004 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST TWO DOZEN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND FEEL I HAVE BEEN A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF CHRYSLER, EVEN THROUGH...
