HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 3500 THAT I BOUGHT NEW AND THE DASH HAS DISINTEGRATED. THE PLASTIC IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS CRUMBLED INTO A MULTITUDE OF PIECES. THESE PIECES FLY OUT OF THE AIR VENTS INTO YOUR EYES AND ARE SHARP AND WILL CUT LIKE A KNIFE. THIS IS A DANGER NOT ONLY TO MY EYES BUT IT I WAS TO HAVE A WRECK THEY WOULD FLY AND CUT YOU. HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE PIECES FROM VENTS THAT WON'T BLOW OUT THAT HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE AC/HEAT DOOR FLAP. I HAVE NEVER HAD A DASH ON ANY CAR OR TRUCK FALL APART LIKE THIS. IF YOU JUST TOUCH IT IT FALLS APART.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL- IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING MY RECALL NOTICE, I CALLED MY LOCAL RAM DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE ALL OUT OF PARTS, BUT I WOULD BE PLACED ON A WAITLIST TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. I RECEIVED THIS MAILING CLOSE TO A YEAR AGO, AND STILL, NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IF THIS RECALL WERE NOT SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS SAFETY, I WOULD NOT BE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DELAY, BUT THIS HAS TO DO WITH PASSENGER SAFETY, AND I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT THERE STILL ARE NOT ENOUGH PARTS TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED.

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES NOW, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF PINION NUT ON DRIVESHAFT TO PREVENT THE DRIVESHAFT FROM SEPERATING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOCK UP, REAR WHEELS WILL LOCK UP WHEN VEHICLE IN PUT IN REVERSE OR IN DRIVE, THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE DRIVESHAFT PINION (SEPERATION) AND COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC COLLISION ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AND ANY OTHER VEHICHLE IN CLOSE VICINITY OF MINE WHILE DRIVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I HAVE ALSO CONSIDERED WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN MY TRUCK IS CATAPULTED FROM THIS ISSUE, HOPING THAT MY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER/DODGE FOR IGNORING MINE COMPLAINTS AND REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ONCE I AM KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS RECALL ISSUE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I AM NOT GETTING ANY HELP FROM DODGE FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I'M JUST THE LITTLE ONE WHO BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT, AND CARE NONE ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY, HOWEVER, YOU CAN AND WILL BE SUED IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE, (MY REAR AXLE LOCKING UP THEREFORE LOCKING UP MY REAR WHEELS). EVERYTIME I TRY TO MOVE MY VEHICLE, I HEAR A LOUD "BOOM" IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND MY REAR WHEELS LOCK UP AND VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. I WILL HEAR A LOUD "BOOM" IN THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY WHEELS CONTINOUSLY SEIZE UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH, THANK GOD I HAVE NOT YET BEEN CATAPULTED, I FEAR THOUGH THAT IT WILL HAPPEN VERY SOON.
