THE VEHICLE IS A 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK. THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BY DANGEROUS SHARP PIECES. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ONE OF THESE PIECES COULD INFLICT POTENTIALLY SEVERE INJURY. *TR
BOUGHT A 2 YR OLD DURANGO WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT AT CARMAX. AT 116,000 MILES IT STARTED KNOCKING. I TOOK IT TO ALLEN SAMUELS DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THE ENGINE FAILED. WE REPLACED THE ENGINE AT OUR COST FOR 6K, BECAUSE WE STILL OWED 7K ON THE VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT NEW TIRES AS WE DECIDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND TRY TO RECOVER SOME OF THE COST. 3 MONTHS LATER, THE NEW ENGINE FAILED, THE VEHICLE DIED AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND TURNING UNDER AN OVERPASS. I WASN'T AWARE THE VEHICLE HAD DIED, UNTIL I REALIZED THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN. THE DEALER IS GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE THIS TIME, BUT WE HAVE DECIDED WE NEED TO CUT OUR LOSSES AND GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP A CAR LIKE THIS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND...
THE DASHBOARD ON OUR 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP CRACKED ONLY AFTER A YEAR. WE TOOK IT SO THE DEALERSHIP IN MCALESTER, OK (RIVERSIDE DODGE) AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THERE IS AN 8 INCH HOLE IN THE DASHBOARD AND NUMEROUS CRACKS OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE AND EVEN ON THE INSIDE TRIM WORK. SINCE FIRST REPORTING THIS, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES EXACTLY LIKE OURS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE FEEL THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND TAKE CARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC THAT WORRIES US TOO. *TR
