IT HAS BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THIS TRUCK HAS A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAG, YET THE DODGE DEALER HAS STILL NOT CONTACTED ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD CALLED THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST, AND EVERY TIME I CALLED THEM, THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL CONTACT ME WHEN THEY GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY 03 DODGE 1500 STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE. WE PULLED OVER AND CHECK THE REAR END FLUID. IT WAS FINE. GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS STILL WHINING. MADE IT ABOUT 50 MILES DO THAT AND MY TRUCK SHUTS OF. NO POWER AT ALL. I PUT IT IN NATURAL AND GOT IT STARTED AND GOT OFF ON AN EXIT. IT BARELY HAD POWER TO MOVE. PULLED INTO A MOTEL AND POWER PICKED UP. I WAS 265 MILES FROM HOME. I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED THE 265 MILES NOT KNOWING THE PROBLEM AND AWAITED TO DRIVE IT ANY :* THAT. GOT HOME MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE BEARINGS AND SEALS IN THE REAR END. WELL THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. AS WE HAD THE COVER OFF THE PUNKIN OF THE REAR END WE FOUND A BROKEN PIECE IN THE BOTTOM. A FRIEND TOLD ME IT WAS A PART OF THE OPINION GEAR. I DON'T KNOW BUT A NEW REAR END COST 2500.00 IF NOT MORE. A USED ONE COSTS 350.00 TO 800.00. I'M STUCK AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THE REAR END AND I HAVE TO HAVE A WAY TO WORK. *TR

PALM AUTO MALL UPDATED 6/27/18*JB

THE DASH BOARD IS COMPLETELY FALLING APART , BREAKING INTO MANY PIECES THEY ARE FALLING INTO THE DUCT WORK AND RATTLING WHEN THE DEFROST IS TURNED ON. LOOKS LIKE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL.I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT 3 DAYS ADVANCED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS THERE FOR 5 HOURS AND MY TRUCK WENT IN TO SHOP AND OUT RIGHT AWAY BUT WAS LEFT SITTING. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS SITTING PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WHERE WAITING FOR MY NEW PART; I ASKED IF IT WAS DONE AT HOUR 5 AND DEALER SAID THEY WHERE LOOKING FOR ME FOR THE LONGEST TIME AFTER I CLEARLY TOLD THEM I WAS GONNA WAIT. I WAS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM FOR HOURS AND MY FEAR IS THAT DEALER NEVER INSPECTED AIR BAG AT ALL. HERES WHAT I GOT: R26 SAFETY RECALL R26- PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (RECALL) INSPECT PASSENGER AIRBAG PART NUMBER AND CONDUCT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM TEST. NO FURTHER ACTION REQUIRED. I HAVE A FEELING THEY BS THIS INSPECTION, I DONT TRUST THEM AS FAR AS I CAN THROW THEM.

CURRENTLY MY 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS A HOWLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END. AFTER READING NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM I FEEL LUCKY THAT MY REAR-END HAS NOT YET LOCKED UP ON ME. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS IF LOCK UP WERE TO OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH COULD RESULT.

DASHBOARD CRACKS - I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL VEHICLE FOR ME OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS WITH VERY MINIMAL PROBLEMS. IN JANUARY 2014, I DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP AND WHILE DOING SO, I HEARD A "POP" SOUND FROM THE DASH AREA. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE MAIN DASH AREA THAT EXTENDED FROM THE FRONT TO THE SEAM (3/4 BACK TO THE WINDSHIELD). OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, AS YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THE CRACKING HAS CONTINUED AND BECOME WORSE TO THE POINT LARGE SECTIONS BROKE OFF AND FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DASH. ONE PIECE HAD JAMMED AN A/C BLENDING DOOR ACTUATOR, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO PRY OUT AND FIX THE DOOR. MY CONCERN IS, IF I AM UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, WHERE ARE THOSE RAZOR SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC GOING TO HIT WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS? I NO LONGER ALLOW MY GRANDCHILD TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE DASH CRACKS. IF AN AREA OF THE DASH IS PRESSED ON, A LARGE SECTION JUST BREAKS OFF AS IF THE PLASTIC IS THE CONSISTENCY OF A CRACKER. DODGE CREATED THIS DASH AND HAS PUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ALL OTHER OWNER AT RISK. THIS SHOULD BE ON A PRIORITY LIST FOR A RECALL. I'VE OWNED VEHICLES FROM OTHER MAKERS OLDER THAN THIS ONE AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH PLASTIC DASH BOARDS CRACKING.

RIMS ON TRUCK RUSTED OUT UNDER THE CHROME COVERS TO THE POINT THAT ONE CAME APART WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN'T SEE THE RUSTED TILL YOU PRY AND TEAR THE RIM APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND BREATHING ISSUES DUE TO THE POWDER/FUMES CONTAINED WITHIN THE AIR BAGS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND THEN DRIVEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I HAVE A 2003 DODGE RAM. FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS I HAVE WATCHED THE DASH CRACK AND DETERIORATE INTO HUGE HOLES FULL OF PLASTIC SHRAPNEL WHEN YOU TURN THE FAN MOTOR ON. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS OF YET WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, I WILL MOST LIKELY NEED A LARGE AMOUNT OF STITCHES, SO WILL MY PASSENGER. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT DODGE USED A SUBSTANDARD MATERIAL TO MOLD THE DASHES ON ALL OF YOUR 2003 DODGE RAMS AND NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM DANGEROUS MATERIALS THAT WERE USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. OH YEAH, MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE DASH ORIGINALLY STARTED CRACKING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH WHEN THE FIRST PIECE OF PLASTIC HIT ME. NO ACCIDENT, BUT DARN CLOSE. I'VE NOT EVEN STARTED ON THE RUSTED WHEEL WELLS. MY WHEEL WELLS JUST STARTED TO SHOW A LITTLE RUST LAST YEAR. SMALL LITTLE BUBBLES INT HE PAINT AT FIRST. NOW I HAVE 2 LARGE AREAS ON MY FENDER WELLS THAT ARE RUSTED TOTALLY THROUGH. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VEHICLE IS 16 YEARS OLD NOW, BUT DANG! OTHER THAN THOSE TWO ITEMS, MY TRUCK RUNS GREAT. IF I KNEW THAT DODGE WOULD DO THEIR CUSTOMER RIGHT, I WOULD BUY ANOTHER DODGE. I'M JUST NOT SURE!!!!!!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, LATE 2015. RECEIVED NOTICE THAT PART WAS AVAILABLE AUGUST 2016. I ONLY USED THE VEHICLE FOR LIMITED USE WHILE WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. WHEN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, THEY TOLD ME THEY CHECKED THE PART NUMBER ON MY AIRBAG AND IT'S GOOD, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO I LOST THE USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE A RECALL SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ISSUED OR IS IT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE 15 MINUTES TO CHECK THE PART NUMBER WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST AROSE?

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH STAYS ON. CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT HELP. I DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. THE AIRBAG WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THIS DASH CONTROL LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. JUST MINOR SCRAPES AND SCRATCHES.

I OWN A 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH SOME BAD DASHBOARD CRACKING. I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, CRACKING HAS OCCURRED WELL OVER 10 YEARS ON MY VEHICLE. IF MY AIRBAG IS REPLACED, MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DESTROYED. WHAT CAN I DO? SHOULDN'T DODGE BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

TAKATA. THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE IS CRACKED AND MISSING IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE REQUIRED REPAIRS FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL WILL CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE, IF NOT FULL DESTRUCTION OF THE DASH. ALSO, AS PIECES CONTINUE TO FALL FROM THE DASH, IT CREATES A HAZARD OF EXPOSED WIRING, AS WELL AS THE RISK OF AIRBORNE SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN EVASIVE OR EMERGENT BRAKING. DUST AND DEBRIS ARE VISIBLE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DEFROSTER IS ACTIVE DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE DASH, CREATING A VISIBILITY AND HEALTH HAZARD.

TAKATA AIRBAG I CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDULE RECALL AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE DASH. HE STATED THAT THEY WOULD BUT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER THE DASH IF IT BROKE IN THE PROCESS. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER DASH REPLACEMENT. I DO NOT SEE HOW IT IS MY PLACE TO SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX MY DASH IF THEY DESTROY IT TO FIX THEIR AIRBAGS THAT ARE FAULTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FOR 32000 DOLLARS I DIDN'T ASK FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG OR A CHEAPLY MADE CHINESE PLASTIC DASHBOARD. ANY HELP WITH THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
