2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Structure Problems

THE DASH HAS BEEN FALLING APART LITTLE BY LITTLE. I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS ABOUT THIS. I AM A RETIRED CHRYSLER AUTO TECH, 20 YEARS,16 SELF EMPLOYED AS A TECH. I KNOW IF I SEE DANGER, YOU SEE DANGER. SHOULD YOU AND CHRYSLER WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS? APPARENTLY THE VENDER USED INFERIOR MATERIAL. IT SURELY WASN'T SPACEAGE. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND PIECES ARE FALLING INTO THE ELECTRICAL UNIT AND AC UNITS UNDERNEATH THE DASH AREA. AFRAID AIRBAG WILL BE DAMAGED AS THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED WITH THE DASH MISSING. AC UNIT ON PASSANGER SIDE IS DAMAGED AND NOT WORKING DUE TO THE CONDENSER HOUSING UNIT BEING EXPOSED. OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE OCCURED LIKE LOSS OF FUNCTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL GAGES. CALLED THE RAM SPECIALIST AT 866.726.4636 WAS INSTRUCTED NOT UNDER WARRENTY AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. IT WOULD BE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER THE COST OF 926.00 PLUS TAX AT OUR DODGE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A MANIFACTOR DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY DODGE. *TR

DASH FALLING APART AND HAS DAMAGED HEATER BOX. DEFROST DOESN'T WORK WHICH CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS FOGGING UP. AN ACCIDENT WAITING HAPPEN. ALSO CAUSES HEAT AND A/C NOT TO WORK. SHARDS FROM THE DASH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM AN ACCIDENT. REPLACED DASH AND HEATER BOX AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR! *TR

DASH STARTED CRACKING - NOW THERE ARE SHARP EDGES AND PIECES OF PLASTIC WITH SHARP EDGES FROM THE DASH HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL - NOW THERE ARE MULTIPLE CRACKS AND HOLES IN THE DASH - ONE HOLE IS MORE THAN 4" IN DIAMETER - *TR

THE DASH OF THE TRUCK STARTED WITH ONE CRACK ABOUT 2 YRS AGO. NOW THERE ARE MORE THAN A DOZEN CRACKS. ESTIMATED COST FROM ME TO REPLACE THE DASH OVER $1,000. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND WILL DEFINITELY REFLECT WHAT I RECEIVE AT TRADE IN. MY FIRST AND LAST DODGE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD CRACKS BY IT SELF AND I`TS RELY SHARP EDGES I`TS LIKE IS DISSOLVING BY IT SELF AND AS I CAN SEE ALL THE MODELS FROM 1999 TO 2006 ARE THE SAME DODGE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND IF YOU HAVE A ACCIDENT WITH THE TRUCK SHARP PEACES CAN INJURE THE PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK IF YOU CAN DO AN INVESTIGATION YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A URGENT RECALL. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 IS CRACKED AND DISINTEGRATING.

DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT MY TRUCK STILL RUNS FINE, BUT I'M HOPING I WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FROM THIS AS THE CRACKS ARE ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS WELL. *TR

I EVEN INSTALLED A RETRACTABLE ACCORDION STYLE SUNSHADE. IN MID 2005, I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR AND REMOVED THE COVER ONLY TO FIND THREE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD, SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTED MORE AND MORE CRACKS WITH VERY SHARP EDGES TO THE POINT THAT NOW I HAVE HOLES WITH SHARP EDGES AND PIECES OF DASHBOARD FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE A/C DUCTS AND INTO THE WIRING OF THE DASH AREA, ALSO I SHOULD MENTION THAT SINCE THESE PIECES HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DUCTS, MY A/C UNIT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THAT THE INTERNAL DOORS TO DIVERT HOT AND COLD AIR ARE BEING BLOCKED BY THESE BROKEN...

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM PICKUP THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR A WHILE FROM THE DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL. THE OTHER DAY A PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD BROKE OFF.
