The agency opened this investigation based on 30 complaints alleging that the hoods on model year (my) 2000 and 2001 dodge ram pickup trucks flew up and blocked the driver's vision.these vehicles have a primary hood latch and a secondary (backup) hood latch.the secondary latch is designed to secure the hood if the primary hood latch is not properly closed or otherwise malfunctions.in these complaints, the secondary hood latch malfunctioned, apparently due to corrosion, and did not latch.dodge conducted recall 01v-040 in 1999 to address similar problems on model year 1994-1997 dodge ram pickup …

I own a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with the 5.9L Cummins diesel, manufactured in September 2000, with approximately 197,000 miles. The AIRBAG warning light now remains illuminated continuously, and the steering-wheel cruise-control buttons are completely inoperative. The horn still works. I performed the instrument-cluster self-test, and the CRUISE indicator illuminates during that test, confirming the indicator itself functions. I suspect a failure in the steering-wheel clockspring or related airbag circuit because these symptoms are similar to the condition addressed by Chrysler Safety Recall 982 / NHTSA Recall 01V153000. The vehicle has not yet been repaired or disassembled for this issue, so the original component remains installed and would be available for inspection if requested. My safety concern is that a clockspring or airbag-circuit failure could prevent the driver’s frontal airbag from deploying properly in a crash. The illuminated AIRBAG warning lamp indicates that the supplemental restraint system has detected a fault. The problem has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a dealer or independent repair facility. I contacted the Dodge/Ram Recall Assistance team and reported the condition. They opened a customer-assistance case, but told me that my VIN was not included in Recall 982. My Dodge/Ram case number is 97895685. My truck was manufactured in September 2000, and the 11th character of the VIN is “G.” Because the vehicle is experiencing an airbag warning condit

My 2001 Dodge Ram Instrument Panel has cracked in three pieces causing the defroster & vents to stop working recently due to the moisture/UV Issue. I'm aware of this problem because I participated in the investigation as manager of validation and testing for the manufacturer, Textron Automotive. How can I get a replacement to correct this Safety issue...?

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. In 2003, I noticed parts of the dash, starting to break apart. In 2004, I had a major head on collision, and the airbag, did NOT deploy. The damage was extensive, with bent frame. The damage was $17,000 in 2004. I was told by the Chrysler Dealership, that did the repairs, that they could not check the condition of the airbag wiring, because the dashboard was broken. I wonder how many others out there, that have the same issue, with the dashboard, and don't have a working airbag. The other issue I have, is the seatbelt tensioner, has caused the seatbelt, to get chewed up. The belt, is now, no more than an inch wide.

Hood latch Hood came off while driving.

I own a 2001 Dodge RAM 2500 and the truck’s dashboard is disintegrating. Pieces have fallen into my heating system, and I believe that is what’s causing my vacuum issue! It is winter time right now, and i was stranded in 10° weather for hours. I could not stay warm by running the trucks because of these pieces getting into the heating system. My girlfriend put her hand on the dash and it broke and she was cut. I would hate to think if that was one of my small grand children, climbing in and the dash breaking away and them getting injured! I own two other Dodge trucks And the dashboards are just as brittle! The dashboards could be manufactured better. I’ve never had dashboards crumble away like these have! People are getting hurt. Dodge is supposed to be a quality American vehicle! And yet they don’t seem to care that people are getting injured, heating systems aren’t working from pieces getting into the system. I have to drive with the heater fan on high, trying to stay warm during the winter months, and little pieces of plastic have come out of the vents. What if one of those pieces got into my eyes, and cause me to wreck, possibly injuring myself, or injuring others. some may think this is just a cosmetic issue, but it is not! These dashboards need to be a better quality! Sure, dashboards may crack when they’re older! But they shouldn’t crumble that way and sharp brittle pieces, causing injuries! Causing mechanical problems! It’s not right! I tried to upload a picture, but

The dashboard in this truck has been crumbling to pieces. It is to the point now the gauge cluster and passenger air bag are barely in place. This is a common occurrence on all of these dodge rams and it is definitely a safety hazard

PCM HAS BEEN REPLACE FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE THE ORIGINAL ONE. THE DEALER HAS SENT OUT THE PCM FOR REPROGRAMMING. IT WAS RETURNED AND THE PCM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF THEY CAN NOT FIND A USED ONE, THE TRUCK IS TOTALLY WORTHLESS. DODGE HAD STOPPED PRODUCING THE PCM. BECAUSE OF THIS DODGE IS FORCING ME TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD TRUCK EXCEPT FOR THE PCM. BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN IN CALIFORNIA EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, THERE IS NO RUST. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW/USED TRUCK BECAUSE DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE THE PCM. THEY ARE PRODUCING VEHICLES KNOWING THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE FIXED AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT TIME.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE RATE OF 45MPH-50MPH MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, I WAS PASSENGER, AND MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK. ALL THE SUDDEN WE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, NO BIGGER THAN YOUR AVERAGE POT HOLES AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BROKE OUT INTO AN ABRUPT SHAKE! IT WAS THROWING MY HUSBANDS AND MY BODY AROUND THE SHAKE WAS SO INTENSE THE STEERING WAS CONTROLLABLE BUT EXTREMELY HARD. IT FELT AS THOUGH OUR TIRES WERE FLYING RIGHT OFF THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND BRAKED AND THE VIOLENT SHAKE SEIZED AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WE CHECK AND SHOOK ALL TIRES THEY WERE SECURE. WE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK EVERYTHING SEEMED IN PLACE AND SECURE. ONCE WE GOT HOME I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND LEARNED OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MOST DODGE TRUCKS HAVE BECAUSE OF THE "Y" STEERING BAR WHICH MOST YEARS HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE THEY INFORMED ME MY YEAR OF TRUCK DOESN'T HAVE THE RECALL. THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE ROLLOVERS AND ACCIDENTS. I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSTLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AND THEY INFORMED ME BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL THEY WOULDN'T. WE ARE TALKING PEOPLES, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD SAFETY! I DON'T SEE WHY THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX A STEERING BAR WHICH IS WHAT MAYBE $1000 BUT HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR LIVES TO BE LOST?

I INSTALLED CHRYSLER PARTS KIT 52122362AL, UPGRADED STEERING LINKAGE DRAG LINK TIE ROD, AND 68039930AA PITMAN ARM ON MY 2001,5 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 TRUCK. IT EASILY REPLACED EXISTING PARTS NEEDING ONLY A DIFFERENT STEERING DAMPER TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL PARTS. I HAVE SINCE BEEN LEARNED THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE DRAG LINK PARTS ARE RECALLED AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 2003-2008 TRUCKS. RECALLS I AM AWARE OF ARE H46 AND N62. MY LEFT TIE ROD END BALL STUD HAS NOT BROKEN YET BUT THE POSSIBILITY IS VERY SERIOUS. I THINK DODGE RAM 1500/2500/3500 SERIES TRUCKS FROM MODEL YEARS 2001 AND 2002 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE, LIGHTS ETC. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND MENTION OF A WIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF TILTING THE STEERING WHEEL UP AND DOWN THE WIRE WILL BREAK. I REMOVED THE ACCESS COVER TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND FOUND THE RED MAIN POWER WIRE HAD BROKEN OFF. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAPPENED AS I STOPPED MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS IF I OR SOMEONE ELSE IS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS WIRE BREAKS ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. IS LOST. I HAVE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE WIRE IN MY TRUCK BUT I WILL NO LONGER TILT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR FEAR OF THIS WIRE BREAKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND I AM AMAZED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.

THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ON THE FRAME RAIL FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR HAD A BLOW OUT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GAS TANK WHEN PRESSING THE BREAK PEDDLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY

WHEN EXITING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND COASTING AND HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF ALMOST LOOSING CONTROL. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR A CAUSE IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE RAMS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE.. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND HAVE A PROBLEM BELIEVING SOMETHING SO EXTREME COULD BE WORN BUSHINGS OR SUSPENTION PARTS THAT WEAR OUT OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND BLEW OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE ALL STOPPING POWER. THE LINE BLEW OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR NEAR THE GAS TANK. LINE IS VERY CORRODED AND THIS IS A FAULTY MANUFACTURERS DEFECT

DASH BREAKING.

AS 2ND OWNER FOR PAST 12 YRS VEHICLE WAS LIKE NEW, ABOUT 3YRS AGO IT DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO GLOVE BOX DOOR AND SINCE HAS CRACKED IN 2 OTHER AREAS FROM WINDSHIELD TO FRONT! THIS VEHICLE SITS UNDER COVER OF AN RV SHELTER WITH MY RV 90% OF IT'S EXISTENCE! I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED ANY RECALL TO TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT FOR THOUSANDS OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM! I.CANNOT BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT MADE CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THIS INFERIOR PRODUCT AS THEY HAVE THE AIR BAGS. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY PRAY THAT YOU CAN USE YOUR POWER TO HOLD CHRYSLER TO STAND UP AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM!

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND WITHOUT LEAVING OFF OF THE GAS. NOW IT DOESN'T GO INTO PARK JUST STAYS IN REVERSE. CALLED REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAPPENS A LOT TO DODGE TRUCKS. $3,000 TO REPLACE OR REPAIR.

DASH CRACKED 7 YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN FALLING APART STEADILY SINCE THEN. SHARDS OF DASH POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS OF THIS YEAR RANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500. THE VEHICLE FAILED AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENT MONITOR, MISFIRE MONITOR, FUEL SYSTEM, AND THE MONITOR NOT BEING RECOGNIZED. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AND THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO REFLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS DEFECTIVE AND EXHIBITED FRACTURES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

SHARP PLASTIC PIECES ARE BREAKING OFF FROM THE DASHBOARD AND TRIM AROUND INSTUMENT PANEL THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY, ESPECIALLY DURING ANY TYPE OF A COLLISION.

BROKEN DASH PARTS ARE FALLING INSIDE THE DASH AND MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTENT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY SIMPLY TURN OFF FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME I RECYCLE THE SWITCH AND A FEW SECONDS THEY COME BACK ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ADDITIONALLY THE BROKEN DASH CAP IS DISTRACTING THIS CREATING AN ISSUE AND DISTRACTED DRIVING IN OHIO IS ILLEGAL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND AMAZED TO FIND OUT IT COVERS MULTIPLE YEARS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS O N LINE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE WIRES EXPOSED TO THE OCCUPANTS AND I AM NOT SURE THEY ARE SAFE THEY CAN EASILY BECOME WORK AND SHORTED OUT THUS CREATING A FIRE HAZARD/ PLEASE HELP BY RECALLING THIS ISSUE TO DODGE..

MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT BECAUSE THE DASHBOARDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE SO FRAGILE, IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DURING AN ACCIDENT THE FRAGMENTS WOULD BE DEADLY. MY DASH IS ALREADY CRACKED AND TINY SHARDS BLOW THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN THE BLOWER IS ON. IT'S DANGEROUS AND THE DASHBOARD ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I PULL A HORSE TRAILER. VERY AFRAID OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF TOTAL STEERING CONTROL IS LOST WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY HORSES. IT WOBBLES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 AND OVER AND FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO JUMP OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER LANE ON HIGHWAY. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SEEN MANY POSTS WITH IDENTICAL ISSUES AS MYSELF. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. IT ONLY HAS 144,000 MILES ON IT. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A DEATH FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED??

DASH STARTED CRACKING IN 2006 AND PARTS ARE STARTING TO FALL IN. HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND BRAKING APART PEACE S ARE COMING OFF AND HITTING ME IN THE FACE AND EYES.

DIESEL FUEL TANK STRAP BROKE

DASH CRACKED ALL OVER AND FELL APART WITH NO ACCIDENT

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRICAL WIRING IN MY PCM AND MY CIRCUIT BREAKER WHERE MY FUSES GO UNDER MY HOOD. IT MAKES REAL LOUD NOISES, IT CUTS OFF, TO WERE I HAVE TO LET IT COOL OFF AND THEN IT STARTS BACK UP, AND THEN IT WILL CUT OFF WHILE IN PARK. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY PCM MODULE AND MY TRUCK NEEDED TO BE REWIRED!

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I RAN INTO SOME BUMPY ROADS AND I LOOKED AT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IN THE DASH AND IT WAS GONE. THE WHOLE INNER DASH WAS BROKE LOOSE AND PLASTIC PARTS WERE FALLING ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. I'VE E-MAILED DODGE AND HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM YET. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT COULD BE FROM $1000 TO $7000 TO FIX. IT HAD A FEW CRACKS IN IT BEFORE BUT NOW IT SEAMS TO BE JUST FALLING TO PIECES. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE MY AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AT ANY MINUTE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN AN ACCIDENT HOW COULD YOU TELL IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT? COULD THE AIRBAG CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? DODGE SAYS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO FIX IT MYSELF. I THINK WITH ALL THE DASH ISSUES, DODGE SHOULD AT LEAST BARE SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WON'T EVEN TELL ME IF MY TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE? SO IT SETS IN BACK YARD.

MA 09/25 UPDATED 10/19/2017*CN

THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK, AND ALSO UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK, AS THE POWER STEERING PUMP ALSO SUPPLIES POWER TO ASSIST THE BRAKES. *TR

AROUND 2009 I STARTED NOTICING CRACKS IN DASH. THEY CONTINUED TO GET BIGGER AND BEGIN BREAKING OFF IN CHUNKS. NOW I WONDER WHEN DASH WILL FALL APART. *TR

BRAKES FAILED WHEN APPLIED. ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING. AFTER HARD BRAKING APPLICATION THE TIRES LOCKED AND SLID ABOUT 5 INCHES IN DAMP BACKTOP AND HIT A CAR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO BRAKE BUT NO OR VERY LITTLE BRAKING ACTION. LATER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND LOST PRESSURE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THESE TRUCKS ARE PRONE TO BRAKE LINE RUSTING. DRIVER SEEMED TO BE FINE AND DROVE AWAY AFTER EXCHANGING INFO. HE LATER CLAIMED INJURY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM NORTH CAROLINA IN MY 2500 DODGE RAM ONE OF MY UNIROYAL TIRES SEPARATED DAMAGING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FENDER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH THE LIBERATOR LT26575R16E. THE FIST TIME WALMART REPLACED THE TIRE AND REPAIRED THE FENDER. THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TIRE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CRACKED AND BROKEN SINCE 2004. IT CONTINUES TO BREAK AND CHIP CAUSING PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC TO FALL INSIDE THE INNER DASH AREA. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE FROM LOW BEAM, TO HIGH BEAM, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AND WILL NOT BE OPERATIONAL. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY FLIP THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE LIGHTS TO COME BACK ON. THIS DID NOT START UNTIL THE DASH CRACKED AND PLASTIC PIECES FELL INSIDE THE DASH. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CONTINUE TO THIS DATE. *TR

I WAS SENT A RECALL WHILE IN AZ. I TOOK IT TO HENERY BROWN AUTOMOTIVE AND THE DID NOT REALLY CARE TO MESS WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I TOLD THEM I WANTED IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN, IT IS JUNE AND I AM BACK IN CO..THE SAFETY RECALL NUMBER AS I CAN TELL IS N49/NATSA 13V-529. LEFT TIE ROD. CAN YOU HELP GET SOMETHING DONE AND HAVE A TALK WITH HENERY BROWN'S CHRYSLER. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO DEVELOPED CRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY DASH BOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS COMPLETELY BROKE CAUSING THE PLASTIC TO ENTER IN TO THE DASH CAUSING MY LIGHTS TO FLICKER BOTH THEE INNER AND OUTER DASH HAS FAILED. PARTS HAVE ALSO FLEW AT ME IN THE FACE AREA. *TR

MY MAIN REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS IT IS KNOWN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES THAT DODGE PUT A FAULTY FRONT SUSPENSION ON ITS PICKUPS THAT LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DEATH WOBBLES. MY VEHICLE HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, UNDERSTAND THIS DEATH WOBBLE LITERALLY TRIES TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL FROM YOUR HAND AND MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO MANAGE. MY DEATH WOBBLE WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BUST A BATTERY CLAMP, BLOW OUT BOTH HEADLIGHTS, MAKE MY QUAD CAB DOOR NOT OPEN CAUSED MY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE SENSOR UNIT TO MALFUNCTION, BROKE MY STEERING BOX, BROKE THE CLIP ON MY SUNGLASSES HOLDER AND CAUSED MY TRACK BAR TO FAIL AGAIN. PLEASE UNDERSTAND DUE TO THE FAULTY SLOPPY DRIFTING STEERING I HAD ALREADY REPLACED ALL TIE RODS, TRACK BAR, BALL JOINTS AND STEERING DAMPENER SHOCK. YOU CAN GO TO ANY DIESEL FORUM AND HEAR ALL THE STORIES OF THE DODGE STEERING SLOP AND DEATH WOBBLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL AND UPGRADES ON THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON MY TRACK BAR AND CAN PROVE IT HAS TO BE REPLACED TWICE A YEAR MINIMUM. DODGE DID UPGRADES ON THE LATER MODEL YEARS 04-07 BECAUSE THEY KNEW OF THE DESIGN FLAW. WHY ARE THEY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS KNOWN ROAD HAZARD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN THIS VEHICLE STARTED TO DISINTEGRATE AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A DASH COVER AND WINDOW SUN PROTECTION IN AT ALL TIMES, SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LIKE A SINKHOLE OPENING UP IN DASH. IT IS NOW CAUSING WIRING PROBLEMS TO THE POINT I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. CALLED DODGE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AS THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAS THE SAME TRUCK, WITH SAME ISSUE, AND EVERY DODGE 2001 TRUCK HE WORKS ON HAS THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE WOULD NOT COMMENT. I HAVE A DODGE RAM 2500 1992, AND THE DASH LOOKS LIKE NEW. IT IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT CAN CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO SHORT OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR
