I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK AND THE DASH IS FALLING APART AND CRACKING ALL OVER THE DASH - I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DEALING WITH WIRING, ETC AND DODGE WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFINITE DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL THAT PRODUCED THIS DASH AND I'M FINDING OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS A DODGE PROBLEM AND NOT MINE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM - SOUNDS LIKE IT IS HUGH. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS THE DASH BOARD SEVERELY CRACKING AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE TOP THERE IS A BIG HOLE WHERE THE DASH HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OUT. THIS CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY SAID THAT ALL OF THE 2001 MODELS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRACKING, BUT OFFERED NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THESE TRUCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND EVEN AFTER A FEW YEARS HAVE PASSED THEY HOLD THEIR VALUE VERY WELL, BUT NOT WITH CRACKED AND FALLING DASHES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER PROBLEMS SINCE THE INSIDE OF THE DASH IS EXPOSED FROM THE HOLE. I AM A FAITHFUL DODGE PRODUCT CONSUMER, BUT IF THEY WON'T CORRECT THIS PROBLEM HOW ARE WE TO TRUST BUYING ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DODGE TRUCKS PRIOR TO 2001 AND THE DASHES IN THOSE TRUCKS HELD UP PERFECTLY, SO THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIAL USED FOR THESE PARTICULAR MODELS. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

ADD MY WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGED SINCE NEW 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 TO THE LIST OF TRUCKS WITH DISINTEGRATING DASHBOARD. ALWAYS KEPT PROTECTANT APPLIED BUT TO NO AVAIL. OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

ORDERED TRUCK NEW. HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. HAD THE FRONT LEFT BRAKELINE FAIL COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. NEVER A DROP OF FLUID LEAKED BEFORE IT HAD AN IMMEDIATE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING. VERY SERIOUS FAILURE THAT NORMALLY DOES NOT HAPPEN IN MODERN VEHICLES. *TR

THE ABS SENSOR WIRE WAS DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE RIGHT WHEEL. THIS CAUSED THE ABS SYSTEM TO BELIEVE THAT THE WHEEL WAS NOT TURNING AND ENGAGED THE ABS SYSTEM MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN HAVING TO QUICKLY ENGAGE THE 2001 RAM 2500 INTO PARK. THE TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE MY GARAGE DOOR. IF THIS HAPPENED IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE DRIVEWAY THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE PROBABLY RECEIVED MORE ATTENTION. THIS WIRE SHOULD NOT EVER BE ABLE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL AND THE ROUTE IS POORLY PLANNED. *TR

I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER BUT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW AND THE DASH JUST STARTED CRACKING FOR NO REASON. POOR MATERIAL IN DASH COMPOUND?

2001 DODGE 2500 AND SIMILAR MODELS. DASH BOARDS CRACK AND BREAK APART COMPLETELY RESULTING IN MUCH OF THE DASH BEING GONE. REPORTS OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM BROKEN PIECES INSIDE DASH. RECOMMEND A RECALL OF ALL MODEL VEHICLES 1994-2002 DODGE PICKUP TRUCKS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. DASHBOARD HAS SO MANY CRACKS IN IT THAT IT IS BEYOND REPAIR. THE DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK MORE AS TIME GOES BY AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAVE IN FROM LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AROUND IT. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT I BOUGHT NEW. IT HAS 115,753 MILES TO THIS DATE. THE TRUCK IS KEPT UNDER A SHED 90% OF THE TIME AND STILL LOOKS GREAT ON THE OUTSIDE. I RECENTLY NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH BEZEL AND NOW HAVE LARGE CRACKS ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE DASH. I HAVE READ AND SEEN MANY DODGE TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE CRACKS TURN INTO LARGE HOLES WITH SHARP EDGES. AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE SEEN JUST ON THE INTERNET, THIS HAS GOT TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE ONLY BEEN SEARCHING ON THE COMPUTER FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A 7 YEAR OLD TRUCK, BUT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE HAD MANY SMALL PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW, BUT NOTHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I USUALLY JUST HAVE FIXED WHAT IS BROKE, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM WILL JUST COME BACK AGAIN. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING SOMETHING THAT BROKE ON ITS ON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IF I KNEW THAT A NEW DASH WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT ANY PROBLEM GOING OUT AND BUYING ONE. BUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS EXACT THING AND ARE STILL IN THE SAME SITUATION. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND FIX THEM. IF THEY CAME OUT WITH A NEW DASH AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND IT, I WOULD GO OUT AND BUY IT. BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY HOOD WAS NOT LATCHED FULLY @THE LOCAL DEALER AFTER SERVICE. I PROCEEDED ONTO HIGHWAY AND IT POPPED OPEN....SECONDARY LATCH DIDN'T CATCH IT PROPERLY. *TR
