2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH CRACKED! *TR

2001 DODGE RAM DASH PARTS FALL OUT THAT ARE SHARP AND MY CAUSE PROBLEM WITH INTERNAL DASH COMPONENTS OR HURT SOMEONE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE PIECES FALL OUT ABOUT EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK . I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD SON THAT I CANNOT LET RIDE IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF AIRBAG FAILURE OR HIM TOUCHING THE DASH AND GETTING CUT BY SHARP EDGES FROM PIECES THAT HAVE CRACKED OUT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY ME OR DEALER . I FEEL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS ONLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO ... *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH, WHEN THE HOOD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 POPPED OPEN. IT BENT THE CORNERS OF THE HOOD, I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE HOOD DOWN, WITH THE HELP OF 2 OTHER GUYS. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING FASTER, I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED MY WINDSHIELD. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT I AM SCARED THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. WE HAVEN'T LOOKED INTO FIXING IT, BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE ARE HOPING TO AT LEAST GET IT LOOKED AT THIS SPRING, UNLESS IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH CRACKING REALLY BAD MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON THE CLOCK AND IS GARAGED. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHERS, THE DASH FELL APART...YOU AREN'T DOING A THING ABOUT IT UNTIL WHAT? SOMEONE DIES? 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. EVERYONE I TALK TO KNOWS SOMEONE WHOSE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING. IF WE ARE IN A WRECK AND THE AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY DUE TO THE SUPPORT SYSTEM BEING MISSING....FALLING APART TOTALLY....THEN IF WE DIE, WILL SOMETHING BE DONE TO MAKE CHRYSLER STAND GOOD FOR THE REPAIRS? I HAVE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY WANT US TO PAY 800 FOR OUR PART. NO...IT IS THEIR WIDESPREAD DEFECT AND WE WILL NOT PAY A PENNY. WE HAVE HAD A FIRE IN THE DASH AS EVERYTHING IS OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS NOW....WE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRAWL UP UNDER AND FIND THE WIRES BURNING. WHENEVER YOU TURNED ON THE KEY, IT SMOKED AND BURNED. FINALLY, AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TOWED HOME, HE TRACED THE WIRE TO THE HEATED MIRRORS AND REMOVED IT. WAITING FOR THE NEXT FIRE, I GUESS. WHAT A SHAME FOR CHRYSLER TO TAKE BAILOUT MONEY AND NOT HELP CUSTOMERS AND ENSURE THEIR SAFETY. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE STEP UP????? *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 CLUB CAB. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH ONLY 2,000 MILES ON IT. WITH IN APPROX. 3 YEARS THE DASH STARTED TO CRACK, THESE CRACKS HAVE BECOME HOLES, TO THE POINT THAT MY WHOLE DASH HAS COLLAPSED. THE FRAME AROUND THE FRONT OF THE DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED TO THE POINT THAT ONLY ONE AREA AT THE BOTTOM IS HOLDING IT ON THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ONE DAY, AND AM ASKING THAT YOU LOOK INTO HAVING CHRYSLER CREATE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT I'VE OWNED 6 YEARS. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR THE DASH STARTED TO CRACK ON ITS OWN. I PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT THAT LARGE PIECES WERE FALLING UNDER THE DASH FRAME. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK IT THE DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $800 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THE ALREADY LOOSE PIECES AS WELL AS OTHER THAT WOULD BRAKE OFF IN A WRECK COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM, MOSTLY TO THE FACE AND EYES. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 REGULAR CAB SPORT. MY DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS WHICH MANY INTERSECT CREATING SHARP POINTS. I HAVE ABOUT AN 8-10" HOLE IN MY DASH. MY DASH BEGAN CRACKING ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS AGO AND HAS CONTINUED GETTING WORSE. THERE ARE 2 OTHER DODGE RAM 1500 REGULAR CABS, 1 BEING A 1999 AND THE OTHER A 2001 AND THEY ARE BOTH CRACKED AS WELL. NO HOLES IN THEM, BUT ARE GETTING WORSE. *TR

I BOUGHT A DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB BRAND NEW IN 2001. IN 2007 I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT HAS WENT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AND TOP TO BOTTOM. I FEEL THAT IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED I N A CRASH PIECES OF THE DASH COULD INJURE SOMEONE'S EYES OR OTHER PARTS. I HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER THROUGH A FRIEND AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE ( I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM) WITH ME, ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO MADE THE PRODUCT FOR THEM, WHICH IS A TOTAL LIE, THEY HAVE COMPUTERS THEY KNOW. I FEEL THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC COULD BE HURT BY THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

CRACKED DASH ON 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 . SHARDS FROM DASH CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND/OR AIRBAG PROBLEMS. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500- WHOLE DASH IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. THIS COULD BE SAFETY HAZARD AS WHAT IF PIECES OF THE DASH FALL INTO AC VENT AND GET FORCED OUT? OR WHAT KIND OF EFFECT WILL SUNLIGHT HAVE ON ANY WIRING EXPOSED BY CRACKS? *TR

MY DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING OUT OVER THE LAST YEAR . THE CRACKS LOOK IDENTICAL TO PICTURES OF OTHER DODGE TRUCK DASHES I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET AND NEWS. I AND SO MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING CRACKS THAT A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY PLASTIC USED ON ALL THESE DODGE TRUCKS. *TR

MY 2001 AND MY FATHERS 2002 DODGE RAM PICKUPS BOTH OUR DASHBOARDS ARE COMPLETELY CRACKED AND NOW HAVE CRACKED THE 2002 WINDSHIELD AND ARE A COMPLETE DANGER IF AIRBAGS GO OFF WILL CAUSE SHRAPNEL TO FLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED OF BOTH VEHICLES AND THEY DENIED THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM. GOING OVER FORUMS AND ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND DODGE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO CRACK IN NUMEROUS PLACES FOR NO REASON. DODGE REFUSED TO RECALL THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH HUNDREDS OF OTHER DODGES HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. ALSO FROM NEWS BROADCASTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAVE DEVELOPED WHICH CAN CAUSE MAJOR VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE TAKEN EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF THIS TRUCK, THE DASH HAS CRACKED INTO A MILLION PIECES. IT IS ABOUT TO FALL IN. I DOUBT MY AIR BAGS WOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY IN A CRASH, DUE TO THE DECREASED STRENGTH OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS, AND THE FACT THAT THE TOP OF THE DASH IS ABOUT TO FALL INTO THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ELECTRICAL WIRES CAN BE SEEN THROUGH THE CRACKS. EVERY TIME I TURN THE BLOWER ON NEAR THE WINDSHIELD, TINY PIECES OF DASH THAT HAVE BROKEN OFF BLOW UP AND AROUND THE TRUCK, OFTEN INTO MY EYES. THIS CERTAINLY ISN'T SAFE, SINCE I CAN'T SEE WITH PLASTIC IN MY EYES!!! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. IF YOU REVIEW THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW MANY DODGE OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH THIS. THE PLASTIC USED TO MAKE THE DASH IS OBVIOUSLY SUBSTANDARD, AND ALL CRACKED DASHES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT DODGES EXPENSE. *TR

I FILED A COMPLAINT A FEW WEEKS AGO ABOUT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SINCE THEN I AM NOW HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FIRST THE WINDOWS THEN THE RADIO AND DOME LIGHT AND NOW THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK AT :30 MY HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD. I DRIVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE EVERY MORNING AT AROUND 5:30. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 RAM 1500 PICKUP RECENTLY STARTED CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CRACKS WERE STRAIGHT LINE CRACKS FROM THE SCREW HOLES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOT THE SPIDERWEB TYPE THAT RESULT FROM EXPOSURE. YESTERDAY A PIECE BROKE OFF OVER THE VENTILATION INTAKE AND FELL INTO THE DASH AND SUDDENLY BLACK SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE VENTS. A TRAVEL FIRE EXTINGUISHER HAD TO BE EMPTIED INTO THE VENT SYSTEM TO KEEP THE CAB FROM BECOMING ENGULFED. CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF ONE OF MY FRIENDS DID NOT HAVE THE EXTINGUISHER IN THEIR CAR THIS MIGHT HAVE ENDED WITH LOSS-OF-LIFE - MINE. THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE SMOKE WHENEVER IT IS STARTED AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CATCH FIRE AGAIN IF I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM PU TRUCK 5.2 .I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT NIGHT AND WENT TO CLICK MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT WAS GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I PARKED MY PICKUP AFTER WORK ONE EVENING WENT OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND THE DASH WAS CRACKED. IT IS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 THIS WAS IN 2004 THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT FOR WORK AND THE DASH WAS CRACKED AND HAS SINCE COMPLETELY CAVED IN. SOME ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. NOW I KNOW THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD COMPLAINT BUT SO FAR IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY RISK. WELL WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOME ONE IS INJURED BEFORE IT IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY RISK. IS THE WIRING GOING TO SHORT OUT AND CATCH ME ON FIRE OR IS MY LIGHTS GOING TO BE THE NEXT THING TO GO OUT IS THE AIR BAG GOING TO DEPLOY PROPERLY SHOULD I HAVE A WRECK, OR WILL IT JUST DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR NO REASON. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO. DEFECTIVE PLASTIC WAS USED IN THE DASHES FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND DODGE REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MAYBE INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS YOU SHOULD CHECK ON THIS PROBLEM NOW AND MAYBE SAVE SOMEONE FROM INJURY OR SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE MAYBE MINE. *TR

MY FRONT END RIM AND TIRE LOCKED UP AT 59 MPH-CAUSING A SEVERE SWERVE TO THE LEFT/RIGHT-THEN I SWERVED INTO AN 18 WHEELER;AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY;SEATBELTS WERE NOT UNLATCHING PRIOR TO ACCIDENT SO NOT USABLE AT THE TIME. *TR

REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE LINE WAS REQUIRED. PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2001 DODGE RAM IN 2004. KEPT IT CLEAN, STACKED NOTHING ON THE DASH, KEPT IN THE GARAGE GOOD PART OF THE YEAR. FALL OF 2008 WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK AND FOUND 4 CRACKS IN THE DASH AND ONE IN THE BEZEL AROUND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVE NOT CALLED DODGE YET DUE TO NO WARRANTY AND PURCHASING TRUCK USED. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP THAT IN 2005 A CRACK STARTED FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH AND THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER ANOTHER CRACK AND THEN THE WHOLE DASH STARTED CAVING IN AND NOW THERE IS NOT REALLY A DASH LEFT AND EVERYTHING UNDER IT IS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS . *TR

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. ONE LARGE HOLE NOW ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN AVERAGE HAND IS VISIBLE IN MY DASH. CRACKS ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE DASH. *TR

2001 DODGE PICKUP . GOT IN ONE MORNING AND THE DASH WAS CRACKED. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A LEAST A WEEK . NO APPARENT REASON FOR THIS. GOT IN THE TRUCK ANOTHER DAY AND THERE WERE TWO MORE CRACKS. TO THIS DATE THE TRUCK STILL ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT. I THINK DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THESE DASHES. 8/11/09. *TR

DASH CRACKING. *TR

IN JUNE OF 2006 I NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE DASH OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500, WHICH ONLY HAD 36,000 ON IT AT THE TIME. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED THINKING THE DEALER WOULD JUST TELL ME IT WAS USUAL WEAR AND TEAR. SINCE THAT DAY THE DASH HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK AND I NOW HAVE A SECTION WHERE THE CRACKS HAVE CONNECTED. IT APPEARS THERE WILL SOON BE AN AREA OF THE DASH THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL OR LARGER WHERE THERE WILL BE A HOLE. THIS HOLE WILL BE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENTATION. I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF 1998-2002 DODGE TRUCKS. SOME OF WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS THEIR HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF. THIS HAS LED ME TO VOICE A COMPLAINT WITH CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THE NHTSA. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN MATERIAL AND/OR WORKMANSHIP AT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! HEADLIGHTS SHUTTING OFF AS YOU DRIVE DOWN A DARK ROAD IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! IT IS A SHAME, BUT IT APPEARS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE EITHER DYING OR GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP, THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER. THERE ARE COMPLETE PIECES WHICH FELL THROUGH ONE IN THE LARGEST SIZE THE OF 8"X6, THERE ARE MANY MORE HOLES ALSO IN THE DASH. I KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME DEFECT IN THERE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT A PIECE OF THE DASH COULD EASILY FLY UP AND INTO THE FACE OR EYE OF THE DRIVER OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES OR LIFE CHANGING (BLIND) EVENT.. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 WHIT DASHBOARD THAT HAS SEVERE CRACKING. I'M STARTING TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ALSO.

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND SINCE LAST YEAR THE DASH START TO SHOWN A LOT OF DEEP CRACKS ON TOP AND IN A DASH TRIM LINE. I MADE SOME RESEARCH AND FIND OUT THIS IS COMMON IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR, DEALERSHIP SAID IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT SELL ME A NEW DASH AND TRIM. IM AFRAID LIKE IN OTHERS PEOPLE SITUATION THE DASH WILL COLLAPSE WHILE IM DRIVING, THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL AIR BAGS AND THIS CAN ACTIVATE ANYTIME WITH THIS COLLAPSING NOISE ARE DEVELOPING FROM THE DASH DUE THE STRUCTURE UNSTABLE CONDITION. *TR

1. NO EVENTS, TOOK EXTRA SPECIAL CARE OF THE TRUCK, WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE 80% OF ITS LIFE 2. CRACKED UPPER DASHBOARD. GETS WORSE EVERY SEASON. IT IS IN PIECES, LARGE HOLES EXPOSING VITAL MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL PARTS 3. HASN'T BEEN REPLACED. *TR

DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 REAR AXLE TUB BROCK AT THE PIG. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM, 65000 ORIGINAL MILES AND DASH IS BADLY CRACKED. IF IT CONTINUES TO CRACK THE DASH IS GOING TO FALL IN. I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SHARP PLASTIC PIECES (WHICH HAVE CUT MY SKIN JUST TOUCHING) FALLING INTO DASH AND CUTTING WIRES (FIRE ISSUE) AND CRACKED DASHES MAY LEAD TO RIPPED AIRBAGS ON DEPLOYMENT(SAFETY ISSUE). THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND HONESTLY I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER. THE PLASTIC DASH HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE FRONT. THESE LARGE CRACKED PIECES CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE IN AN ACCIDENT OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE PLASTIC MATERIAL USED IN MANUFACTURING IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKING. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 VEHICLE DASH IS CRACKED TO WHERE IS LOOSELY ATTACHED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. DASH CONSTANTLY RATTLES. THIS SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND IT. PLASTIC DASH TRIM RING IS ALSO BEGINNING TO CRUMBLE WHICH MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. DASH HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT IS BEGINNING TO GROW WORSE AT A MUCH QUICKER RATE. *TR

THE 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DASH CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF. NOW DODGE HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BUT IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MAJOR RISK FACTOR. BY ALLOWING THE DASH TO CRACK AND FALL INTO THE WIRE SYSTEM INFRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER, ITS A FIRE HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN. BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM DODGE IS RISKING THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IF NOT THOUSANDS. DODGE IS ALSO LOSING OUT ON LIFE TIME BUYERS LIKE MY SELF THAT DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK. THE RISK OF A FIRE IS TO GREAT IN MY OPINION AND IF ONE LIFE CAN BE SAVED BY THE RECALL OR IF THE FIRE CAUSES SOMEONE TO CRASH INTO SOMEONE ELSE OR BEING TRAPPED IN THE FIRE AND BEING BURNED TO DEATH THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH IS CRACKING AND BREAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE TRUCKS 1999-2003. *TR
