2001 Dodge Ram complaints

MY 2001 DODGE QUAD CAB RAM 1500 TRUCK DASH HAS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS NEARLY COLLAPSED FROM CRACKING AND FALLING APART. IT SEEMS THAT THIS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE. IT HAS ALMOST 100K MILES ON IT AND YET ON THE OUTSIDE IT LOOKS NEARLY NEW. I AM PRESENTLY LOOKING AT HOW I CAN REPLACE THIS DASH. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK THAT'S DASH HAS CRACKED AND COME APART IN 6-7 PIECES. THIS STARTED TO OCCUR IN 2003 AND HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT AROUND 52000 MILES. I CALLED THE DEALER IN ODESSA AND RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION. THE DASH HAS TO BE REPLACED AND WHILE LOOKING ON LINE I CAME ACROSS A SITE WHERE A NUMBER OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

NOTICED DASH HAD TWO CRACKS RUNNING FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVE USED VINYL CONDITIONER SINCE 2001, WHEN NEW, AND HAVE USED A INSIDE WINDSHIELD SCREEN. I CALLED A BODY SHOP AND THE REPAIR COULD BE AS MUCH AS A $1000. THIS ALL ON A 2001 DODGE 1500 RAM PICKUP WITH ONLY 54,000 MILES. *JB

TWO HOURS OF HIGHWAY TRAVEL 45-65 MPH. TRAVELING NORTH ON INTERSTATE 91, 1 MILE SOUTH OF EXIT 3 VERMONT @APPROXIMATELY 13:50 SPEED APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. HOOD UNEXPECTEDLY FLEW UP AND BACK AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING ALL FIELD OF VIEW. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND ONCE OFF A BRIDGE PULLED OVER IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. DAMAGE TO WINDSHIELD, HOOD, HINGES AND GRILLE. 3 OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE BUT NO ONE WAS HURT. LATCHED THE HOOD DOWN WITH ROPE AND SLOWLY RETURNED TO 336 KNOWER RD WESTMINSTER. INSPECTION OF THE HOOD LATCHES SHOWED BOTH VERY RUSTY AND THE SAFETY LATCH FROZEN. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. ALL EQUIPMENT WAS ORIGINAL ON THE VEHICLE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH THE FRONT END OF THE SUSPENSION IN THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED, NO REPAIRS MADE.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE ABS PUMP ACTIVATED, CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS OCCURRED ON DRY ROAD CONDITIONS AND UNDER NORMAL BRAKING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FIRST INCIDENT. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY GARAGE, WHO REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR AND THE ABS MODULATOR. THE GARAGE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CODES PUT IN FOR THE ABS MODULATOR. THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY TOLD THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. *AK UPDATED 1/11/2006. *NM

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, WHICH IS A NICE TRUCK. I STARTED NOTICING A CRACK IN THE DASH ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I GOT IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, WITH PIECES FALLING OUT. I REMOVED THE DASH FROM THE TRUCK AND ENDED UP WITH ABOUT 20 PIECES. DODGE OR THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING. I WILL HAVE TO PAY 200.00 DOLLARS FOR A NEW DASH IN ORDER TO REPLACE A DEFECTED ONE. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT BRAKE FAILURE ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN BRAKES FAIL THERE IS ALSO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS TO APPLY THE HAND BRAKE. THE DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THE PROBLEM COULD BE WITHIN THE POWER BOOSTER PUMP AND THE MASTER CYLINDER. *AK UPDATED 11/19/05. *JB

THE DASH- HAS CRACKS THAT RUN THE LENGTH OF THE DASH TOTAL OF SIX THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES AND IS GARAGED ALL THE TIME. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED IN ANYWAY BEFORE LAST WEEK MY TRUCK WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. *NM

DT THE CONSUMER PUT NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 17,2005 WHEN THEY TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND SAW THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING OUT ON THE INSIDE , JUST ON ONE TIRE, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE TIRE HAD RUBBED ON THE RIM OF THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER, THEY SAID IT HAD A BAD BEARING ON THE LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEY REPLACED THE BEARING.

TRUCK IS STILL HAVING FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD TRUCK IN AND OUT OF SHOP FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS.

HE HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON IN THESE TRUCKS AND THAT HE SEES THIS ON A WEEKLY BASIS, AND IS SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. 3. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, AND WITH OTHER DIESEL MECHANICS, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THE DODGE CUMMINS DIESELS IS EXTREMELY PRONE TO FAILURE, AND SEEING THE SYSTEM COST AROUND $2000 TO FIX, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY DODGE AND BE RECALLED TO FIX OR COMPENSATE FOR COSTS. *JB
