DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 2007 AND IS NOT STARTING TO FALL APART IN BIG SHARP PIECES. IF AIR BAG WOULD EVER GO OFF I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE PIECES WOULD END UP, HOPEFULLY NOT IN ME. *TR
DASH BOARD BROKEN AND FALLING APART. PARTS FALLING IN ARE VERY SHARP AND DANGEROUS. IT IS LIKE SOMEONE HOLDING A KNIFE IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HOPING YOU DON'T HIT ANYTHING. *TR
I BOUGHT A 2002 DODGE 3500 BRAND NEW IN 2002. 4 MONTHS LATER THE DASH CRACKED. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. SINCE THEN TO NOW WE HAVE CONTINUED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER CORP. AND THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS ISSUE TO JUST BE PUT OFF TIME AND TIME AGAIN. YOU PAY 33,000 FOR A TRUCK WITHIN 4 MONTHS THE DASH CRACKS AND DODGE TELLS YOU ITS COSMETIC YOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH CAN COME LOOSE AND THE DASH ITSELF IS LOOSE. *TR
CRACKED DASH ~ SO BAD THE WHOLE DASH HAS CAVED IN AND IT IS CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR
DASHBOARD ON MY AUG 2002 BUILT DODGE RAM 3500 HAS EXTENSIVE CRACKS. INTERNET SITES SHOW A NUMBER OF OTHER DODGE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE - SOME MUCH WORSE THAN MINE. POTENTIAL SAFETY RISKS INCLUDE DISTRACTING DRIVER DUE TO DASH CRACKING. OTHER OWNERS WITH MORE SEVERE CRACKS HAVE REPORTED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES DUE TO DASHBOARD CRACKS AND DASHBOARD FALLING INWARD. *TR
I OWN A 2002 DODGE 3500 1 TON DUALLY AND MY DASH HAS STARTED TO CRACK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN CLAREMORE OKLAHOMA ( MELTON DODGE ) AND THEY GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CONTACT THE MANF. WITH WHICH IS 1-800-992-1997. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE INSPECTED BY A DODGE DEALER TO VERIFY THAT THE CRACK WAS NOT CAUSED BY ME AND THEN LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD MAKE GOOD ON IT. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MELTON DODGE IN CLAREMORE OKLAHOMA AND THEY DID THEIR INSPECTION AND FOUND OUT THE DEFECT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ME AND IT WAS IN FACT A DODGE DEFECT. I CALLED THE MANUF. AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE IT WAS NOT HINDERING THE AIRBAG AND I HAD A 140,000 MILES ON IT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS...
