2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

To put it as simple as I can describe it is a death wobble. that occurs every time you hit a bump in the road, hole, or pot hole. This truck has always had this death wobble from factory. The reason why this is a safety issue is because it causes the steering wheel to go out of balance and go into other lanes in the road and potentially cause an accident.

While traveling at normal speeds approximately 40 mph a car ran a stop sign I t-boned them on their passenger side with my front end I hit them at approximately 40 mph my airbags did not deploy my face and chest hit the steering wheel and dash

HELLO, I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY DODGE RAM THE FUEL LINE SYSTEM JUST CRACKED AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AND BLOW UP WHILE MYSELF IN MY 7 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED SINCE DAY ONE WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW NEVER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN YOUR WILL WELLS WERE NEVER DRILLED OUT TO DRAIN THE WATER IN THE BACK I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE SAME INCIDENT. MYSELF IN MY GRANDDAUGHTER INHALE VERY TOXIC FUMES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT THE TRUCK AS IT WAS ON FIRE AND INCHES AWAY WHEN IT EXPLODED.PICS AND REPORT WONT DOWNLOAD THANK YOU

VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. STUCK IN DRIVEWAY CANNOT MOVE NEEDS TO BE TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. HE WILL TURN BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK.

THE FCM AND PDC ARE EXTREMELY BAD ON THE 2002 DODGE. THEY CORRODE CAUSING YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS, BLINKERS, HEADLIGHTS AND EMERGENCY FLASHER NOT TO WORK. DODGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANDATED TO RECALL AND REPLACE BOTH PARTS ON EVERY TRUCK. THE CORROSION IS DO TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE PDC "FUSE BOX" WITH HOLES IN THE BOTTOM ALLOWING WATER AND MOISTURE TO ENTER THE PDC AND START TO CORRODE. THIS IN TURN CAUSING THE FCM " FRONT CONTROL MODULE" TO SHORT OUT. THIS IS A SEVERE DANGER TO THE TRUCK OWNER AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO AND FIXED. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCE THIS AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY MOTORISTS BEHIND ME DO TO THE FACT MY TAILLIGHTS QUIT WORKING AND MY BLINKERS DID AS WELL. I HAVE REPLACED MY...

MY DASHBOARD HAS HOLE IN IT. ITS BEEN CRACKING FOR A WHILE AND REALLY DIDN'T PAY ATT

ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER BUYING MY NEW DODGE TRUCK THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FALL APART, BECOME BRITTLE. ITS CURRENTLY IN COMPLETE PIECES. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MOTION AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROTECTED FROM THE SUN. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF CASES JUST LIKE MINE. PICTURES WILL BE AVAILABLE.

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND PIECES FALL DOWN INTO THE VENT THEN WHEN I TURN ON HEAT OR AIR PIECES COME FLYING OUT HITTING MYSELF OR PASSINGERS IN EYES AND FACE

THE DASH AND DASH COMPONENTS ARE CRACKING AND OR BREAKING CAUSING SHARP EDGES AND FLAYING DEBRIS. I HAVE RESORTED TO USING GORILLA GLUE AND A DASH MAT TO MINIMIZE THESE ISSUES BUT IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THIS IS NO LONGER SUFFICIENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A DEALER AND I HAVE HAD THEM INSPECT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED.

WHILE HAVING THE EVAPORATOR REPLACED, THE DASH CAME APART IN PIECES. THE PIECES CAN NOT BE PUT BACK TOGETHER AND REINSTALLED SAFELY. THE DASH SHOULD NOT BE MADE OF A PLASTIC THAT COULD BREAK APART AND CAUSE DAMAGE IN AN ACCIDENT.

DASH IS FALLING APART CAUSING THE DEFROSTER TO NOT BLOW AIR ACROSS WINDSHIELD PROPERLY, SO THAT THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFOG. THIS CAUSES VISIBILITY ISSUES AND A HAZARD.

DASHBOARD OF MY RAM 1500 2002 HAS BEEN BREAKING INTO PIECES IN THE FIRST 3 YEARS. STARTED SLOW BUT EVENTUALLY IT'S EVERYWHERE. I HAVE ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT ON MANY OCCASIONS THAT THEY ARE AWARE BUT DON'T OFFER A SOLUTION OR EVEN A GOOD REPLACEMENT. ONLY TO BUY A NEW TRUCK MADE WITH A BETTER DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT THEY SELL IS ONLY $900.00 BUT MADE WITH THE SAME MATERIALS. WILL BE BACK AT THE SAME PLACE WITH PIECES OF DASHBOARDS HITTING OUR EYES,MOUTH OR FACE. IT IS A DANGER TO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AND A SHAME THAT A COMPANY CAN BE ALLOWED TO USE SUCH LOW GRADE MATERIAL THAT IS SOLD TO HARD WORKING INDIVIDUALS. I CAN ACCEPT IF A FEW DASHBOARDS ENDED THE SAME WAY BUT I'VE HEARD OF TOO MANY BEING THE SAME AND THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE HAVING...

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN ABOUT 12 PLACES.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AND FALLING IN TO THE AIR VENTS THEN BEING SENT OUT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DODGE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DASH AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT.

DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING AND NOW IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED, PARTS OF BROKEN DASH ARE FALLING INTO VENTS AND OBSTRUCTING BLOWER MOTOR. DASH WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, NO WAY TO FIX EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE GETS WORSE EVERY TIME I USE THE VEHICLE, DAMAGE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS.

DASHBOARD CRACKING AND FALLING APART IS HAZARDOUS WHEN YOU CUT AIR OR DEFROST ON DEBRIS AND SHARP OBJECTS FLY IN YOUR EYES.

DASH BOARD CRACKING ALL OVER...SHED KEPT...HELP!

DASH IS CRACKED BIG PIECES BROKEN AND FALLING IN MESSED UP AIR BOX SO THAT AIR AND HEAT DON'T COME OUT HOT OR COLD SHARP PIECES COULD FLY IN TO YOUR FACE.

WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATER THE BLEND DOOR AND ACTUATOR MAKE A POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNED HEAT ON , BLEND DOORS BROKEN AND ACTUATOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN HEAT IS TURNED ON.

IGNITION / PARK INTERLOCK SYSTEM INOPERATIVE.

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN 2004 AND HAS CONTINUED DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT FINDING A CAUSE OR A VIABLE SOLUTION TO STOP THE CRACKING. NOTICED OTHERS HAVE MADE THE SAME COMPLAINT. DODGE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX OR GIVE A SOLUTION TO FIX THE CRACKING. IT NOW INTERFERES WITH THE AIR FLOW AND CAUSES WINDSHIELD FLOW TO BE DIRECTED AWAY FROM REMOVING INTERNAL "FOGGING". NOW THE BLOWER WILL ONLY OPERATE AT THE HIGHEST SPEED.

MY TRUCK STARTED THIS GRINDING SOUND AN IT JUST STOP WORKING SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN AUTO SERVICE JIMMY'S 2407 KAW ST NEW ORLEANS CELL NUMBER 5044511533 HE CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER.THANKS

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2002 DODGE RAM IS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING BEFORE MY EYES. IT HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER IT. THE VENT COVER UNDER THE WINDSHIELD HAS ALSO BROKEN, AND THE SMALL PIECES THAT COVER THE DEFROSTER HOLES HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DEFROSTER SO THAT WHEN IT IS TURNED ON HIGH SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL FLY UP AND HIT YOU IN THE FACE. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN THE DEFROSTER SO THAT YOU DON'T RISK HAVING PLASTIC PIECES STRIKE YOU IN THE EYES. SEVERAL OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKS RUN COMPLETELY FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR OF THE UPPER DASHBOARD. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO DODGE, AND I AM BAFFLED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE OF FAILING DASHBOARDS IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED AND I FEEL DODGE SHOULD...

DASHBOARD CRACKED, LAMP LIGHT IS ON AND ALARM KEEPS DINGING. CHECKED ALL LIGHTS AND THEY ARE ALL WORKING.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD ARE FALLING DOWN INTO AIR CONDITIONER AND EVERYTHING ELSE UNDER IT. THERE ARE PARTS OF THE FOAM THAT ARE FLYING OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS AND PIECES ARE COMING OUT THE VENTS, HEAS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NOW ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT EXPLODED NOW IT NEEDS AN ENGINE VEHICLE MODEL YEAR HAS MANY KNOWN NON RECALLED ISSUES

CRACKED DASHBOARD. PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD ARE FALLING DOWN INTO AIR CONDITIONER AND EVERYTHING ELSE UNDER IT. THERE ARE PARTS OF THE FOAM THAT ARE FLYING OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME OFF AND THE REAR END LOCKED UP. MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK STARTED TO FISH TAIL DUE TO THE REAR END LOCKING UP BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE HALT ON A BUSY STREET. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND AND AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE DRIVE SHAFT TWISTED AND TORE INTO TWO PIECES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2005 MODELS AND NEWER BUT THE 2002-2004 MODELS OF THE RAM 1500 PICK UP SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICHLE IN JUNE OF 2008 AND NOTICED A MINOR CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, SINCE THEN THE BOTH PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD HAVE SEVERELY CRACKED AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THAT SHARDS OF THE BROKEN PLASTIC DASHBOARD WILL BECOME PROJECTILES AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

MY 2002 DODGE 1500 PICKUP DASH HAS CRACKED. IT INTERFERES WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST BECAUSE OF THE CRACKED VENTS.

DASH BOARD HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS BOTH FRONT AND REAR. *TR

SERIOUSLY CRACKED DASHBOARD, NO WRECKS OR DAMAGE TO CAUSE THE CRACKS. *TT

DASHBOARD FOR MY 2002 DODGE RAM ALL CRACKED FEAR FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *TT

2002 DODGE RAM 1500 5.9L SPORT. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS SPECIAL ORDER TRUCK AND NOW THE DASH IS CRACKING ALL OVER????? NEVER HAD A NEW VEHICLE DO THIS IN ALL MY 54 YEARS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND I KNOW IT IS HOT,BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE CRACKING LIKE IT IS,NONE OF MY OTHER CARS OR TRUCKS ARE CRACKING AT ALL, I TAKE GOOD CARE OF ALL MY VEHICLES SO WHY IS THE DODGE THE ONLY ONE CRACKING?I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO GET THIS FIXED!! *KB

DASHBOARD OF MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FIFTEEN CRACKS. THE DASH IS IN TWO PARTS. THE PART WHERE THE VENTS ARE IS READY TO EITHER FALL OUT OR COME COMPLETELY OUT. THERE HAS BEEN OVER THREE HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON AUTOBEEF. MY CONCERNS IS THE PLASTIC IS GOING TO FALL IN AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. DODGE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S A WARRANTY ISSUE. IT IS A DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED NOT ONLY DOES IT LOOK BAD BUT I JUST KEEP WAITING FOR IT TO FALL IN ON ME WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I KEEP MY TRUCK CLEAN AND KEEP MY WINDOWS CRACKED FOR AIR CIRCULATION. I ALWAYS TRY TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN THE SHADE. I HAVE TRIED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES TO SEE IF DODGE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT THEY...

THE DASHBOARD HAS STARTED CRACKING AFTER THE TRUCK HIT THE 60,000 MILE MARK. THERE ARE NOW HOLES IN PORTIONS OF THE DASHBOARD, AND THE PIECES HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO THE HEATER MOTOR, AND IT HAS CAUSED THE DOORS ON THE HEATER TO NO LONGER OPEN AND CLOSE CORRECTLY, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH NO HEAT. WE HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT A DEFECT, AND WILL NOT RECALL THE DEFECTIVE PIECE, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THE DODGE RAM. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING THE HEAT IN THE TRUCK AND ISSUES WITH THE DEFROSTER, AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

MY DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN THE SUMMER OF 2005 AND HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS COLLAPSING IN AND CREATING ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY ISSUES. *LN

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. THIS TRUCK HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE DASH. THE DASH START CRACKING REALLY BAD. DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR A TRUCK THAT IS LESS THEN 10 YEARS OLD THAT I PAID 32,000 DOLLARS FOR THE DASH SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING. I BELIEVE DODGE SO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE DASHES BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY ONES DODGE RAM DASH IS CRACKED. I DID A WEB SEARCH AND EVERY ONES DASH CRACKS IN THE SAME SPOT RIGHT OVER THE AIR BAG. THE AIR BAGS IN MY TRUCK HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I AM SURE IF THIS TRUCK WAS EVER IN A WRECK THE AIR BAG COULD GET STUCK IN THE CRACK AND WONT GET DEPLOYED TO SAVE A LIFE. THANKS DODGE
