TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR IDLE VALVE DID NOT OPEN AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR IDLE VALVE WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS AND SHOULD REMAIN IN THE OPEN POSITION TO ALLOW AIR TO ENTER AND FOR THE VEHICLE TO PROPERLY CLOSE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE, WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN THE SAME MANNER. THE REPAIR LASTED FOR A YEAR, BUT THE FAILURE HAS RECENTLY RESURFACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE PICKUP. THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING IN SEVERAL LACES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM BACK WITH THE ESTIMATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL AFTER THEY GET THERE BAILOUT MONEY. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD ON MY TRUCK IS CRACKING. IT'S NOT ONLY CRACKING IT'S FALLING APART. THE PIECES OF DASH "SHARP PLASTIC" IS FALLING DOWN INTO WHERE ELECTRICAL WIRING IS. PLUS THESE PIECES OF DASHBOARD IS VERY SHARP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESS. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME SINCE 2006 AND CONTINUES TO GET WORST. *TR

DASH IS CRACKING ON MY 2000 DODGE TRUCK 1500 ,WOULD LIKE MY DASH REPLACED DON'T WANT A HOLE IN MY DASH CAUSING HEADLIGHT TO GO OUT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP JUST STARTED CRACKING FOR NO REASON A WHILE BACK AND HAS NOW DEGRADED TO THE POINT THAT A LARGE PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD FELL OFF EXPOSING THE INNER DASH AREA. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS TO BE A LARGE SCALE ISSUE WITH DODGE RAM PICKUPS AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKING AND FALLING IN. IN APPROXIMATELY LATE 2006, MY DASHBOARD DEVELOPED MINOR CRACKS. SOON THE CRACKS GOT LARGER UNTIL PIECES STARTED FALLING INTO THE DASH CAVITY. I WENT TO MY DODGE DEALER WITH THE CONCERN ABOUT A RECALL, BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS SYMPTOM. DODGE SAID IT WOULD PAY 1/2 OF THE REPAIR, A TOTAL OF ABOUT $2,000 OF WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $1,000. I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS AT THE TIME. SINCE THEN, THE DASH HAS CONTINUED TO CRUMBLE APART. NOW, THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT HAS A HOLE IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE. TO REPAIR THIS, THE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED. YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE DASH WOULD BE REMOVED IN PIECES. I BELIEVE THE CRUMBLING DASH HAS CAUSED THE HOLE IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE. DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE DASH AND REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR CORE TOO. WHAT'S NEXT? THE HEATER CORE, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, HEADLIGHTS ON A DARK BACK ROAD SOMEWHERE? DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF IT'S CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD ALSO IS SEVERELY CRACKING WE ALL KNOW THERE IS A AIR BAG IN THERE AND WHEN MINE GOES OFF I'M SUING THE HELL OUT OF DODGE. THIS IS A EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK IN THE SUMMER OF 2007. SINCE THEN IT HAS DEVELOPED LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND SOME OF THOSE CRACKS HAVE LED TO BIG HOLES. ON THE OUTSIDE IT LOOKS LIKE A COSMETIC PROBLEM, BUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD POSE A SAFETY RISK WITH PIECES OF DASH FLYING EVERYWHERE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED COMPLAINT, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES FELT LOW. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V038000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC FOUNDATION COMPONENTS: HOSES, LINES PIPING, AND FITTINGS); THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 70,089. UPDATED 04-17-09 UPDATED 04/20/09.*JB

WHILE DRIVING DONE THE ROAD AT 45 MPH, HOOD UNEXPECTEDLY OPENED, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD TO SMASH. IMMEDIATE INSPECTION OF SAFETY LATCH SHOWED THAT IT WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY DUE TO BUILT UP RUST. WINDSHIELD AND HOOD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH SAFTEY LATCH. (ALL DAMAGED PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR NOW). *TR

AS THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD, APPROX. 40 MPH THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK FLIPPED UP AND OFF. THE HOOD WAS HANGING OFF THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGE COMPLAINT FROM MANY DODGE OWNERS FOR 2000 AND 2001 DODGE RAM'S. ALTHOUGH MY DASH HAS NOT YET "SUNK IN" AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED I FEAR THAT IF THE CRACKS DEVELOP FURTHER IT COULD DAMAGE THE WIRING AND CONNECTIONS BELOW. THE CURRENT CRACKS ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD AND FRONT PLATE ARE DISINTEGRATING. PIECES ARE FALLING INSIDE THE DASH BODY. IT IS SO BRITTLE JUST CLOSING THE DOORS CAUSES ADDITIONAL CRACKS. TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS I SHUT IT OFF. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2000 DODGE RAM 4X4 1500 TRUCK HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOO AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD BREAKING APART AND POTENTIALLY COLLAPSING IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD AFFECT THE AIRBAGS AND/OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OF THE TRUCK POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO ANY DRIVER/OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DODGE SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. *TR

MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK. NOW THE DASH IS CRACKED IN A WAY THAT IF I TOUCH IT OR IF ANY WEIGHT IS UP ON IT, IT WILL COLLAPSE ON ITSELF. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING IT OR PAY THEM A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE DASH WITH A SIMILAR DASHBOARD, WHICH MAY CRACK AND BREAK APART IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE DEALER I WENT TO TOUCH THE DASH, IT BUCKLED AND PINCHED MY HAND FROM ONE OF THE CRACKS. PULLING MY HAND UP THE DASH THEN LAYERED ITSELF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT MANUALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND NOTICED A REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER. THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 49,000.

I BOUGHT A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 TRUCK. IT WAS 2 YRS THIS MAY/08, IT IS NOW IN THE TRANSMISSION SHOP GETTING A REBUILT TRANNY AT THE TUNE OF $3K. THE ELECTRONICS WENT OUT AND IT WAS FULL OF METAL!!! IT HAD LOW MILEAGE WHEN I BOUGHT AND SEEMED IN GREAT SHAPE, BOY WAS I SCREWED. ONE WEEK AFTER BUYING IT I CALLED CLARKE MOTORS IN VIRGINIA TO TELL THEM ABOUT THIS LIGHT COMING ON AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING , JUST A COMPUTER SENSOR - NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. IT IS A [XXX] CRIME THAT THIS COMPANY CONTINUES TO BUILD FAULTY VEHICLES AND PUTS THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS THEIR EMPLOYEES AT RISK. WHERE IS THE CLASS ACTION??? WHERE DO I SIGN UP? *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 IN NOVEMBER 2006. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THERE WERE NO VISIBLE DEFECTS. HOWEVER, SINCE THAT TIME THE DASH HAS CRACKED AND COLLAPSED ALMOST ENTIRELY. THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER AND AIR CONDITIONER NO LONGER WORK. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR TRAUMA THAT BROUGHT IT ON. IT WAS AT FIRST A SMALL CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SPREAD TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE. WE NOW HAVE A GAPING HOLE THROUGH MIDDLE AND RIGHT SIDE OF DASH WITH NEW CRACKS DEVELOPING ON THE DRIVER SIDE. *TR

MY 2000 DODGE RAM TRUCK DASHBOARD IS JUST ABOUT DISINTEGRATED WITH MANY CRACKS - PIECES ARE STARTING TO FALL OUT WHICH EXPOSES THE WIRES TO SUN. DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO SEEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE FAULTY DASHBOARDS THAT APPEAR TO BE FALLING APART. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE HOOD LATCH ON MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 RELEASED. THIS CAUSED THE HOOD TO FLY UP, CRASHING INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED, THE HOOD TWISTED BEYOND REPAIR, AND THE HOOD SPRINGS WERE COMPLETELY MANGLED. I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON CONSUMER AFFAIRS SHOWING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 30 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME INCIDENT. WE HAVE FILED A CLAIM W/ THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR SEVERE DAMAGES. *TR
