BOUGHT USED 2000 DODGE RAM 4X4 THIS PAST SUMMER. IT ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT, WE NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD GOING FROM WINDOW TO EDGE OF FRONT. I HAD READ ABOUT THIS FAULT WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK, BUT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, IT HAD NO CRACK. I AM AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY NOW. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM! BUT, OF COURSE, DODGE WON'T RECALL ANYTHING.........LIKE THE DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS, FRONT ENDS, ETC. *TR

DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD CRACKED TO THE POINT AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY OR AT THE VERY LEAST THROW PLASTIC SHARDS AND PARTS THAT COULD INJURE OR KILL OCCUPANTS. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT THE TIME FIRST CRACKS OCCURRED AND DID NOTHING.. WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME NOT COVERED BY MFG, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THEN CRACKS HAVE INCREASED IN SIZE TO THE POINT LARGE CHUNKS OF PLASTIC BROKEN AWAY AND WOULD NOT ALLOW AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SHOULD THEY BE ACTIVATED. *TR

DASH IN MY 2000 DODGE 2500 IS CRACKING AND FALLING IN WHICH COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BECAUSE OF EXPOSURE TO THE SUN. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING ON LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE HUGH PROBLEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING SUCH A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT ON THE ROAD, THE WAY THE DASH IS CAVING IN COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH HAS A BIG HOLE IN IT AND THE REST OF THE DASH IS CRACKING. IF IT KEEPS CRACKING I WONT HAVE A DASH LEFT. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO US .SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT AND IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS WILL EVEN WORK AND IF THEY DO WILL PIECES OF THE DASH BRAKE OFF AND HIT SOMEONE IN THE FACE. CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE DASHES BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS.IM THING ABOUT GETTING A NEW TRUCK, BUT IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T FIX THE DASHES IT WONT BE A DODGE. *TR
