I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED WITH ONLY ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WERE TINY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD BUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE CAR BEING PARKED IN THE SHADE, THE CRACKS GREW WORSE AND WORSE UNTIL NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 5 MAJOR CRACKS AND I'M CONCERNED THAT TWO WILL MERGE TO CREATE A HOLE IN MY DASH. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPONENTS AND CONCEALED WIRING WILL BE AT RISK OF FAILURE DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE AND A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

DASH BOARD CRACKED LEADING TO A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK ON THE 4TH OF JULY AND FOUND THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK IN IT, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN ABOUT 4 PLACES. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND A NUMBER OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT DASHBOARD FAILURE. *JB

THE DASHBOARD ON OUR 2001 DODGE 1500 TRUCK CRACKED. I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAD THE DASHBOARD CRACK. THE TRUCK IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WHO BOUGHT A USED 1999 DODGE 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD ON THAT TRUCK WAS TERRIBLE. THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I WOULD WORRY ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER DODGE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *JB

MY DASHBOARD IN MY 2001 2500 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCK BEGAN TO CRACK. THIS CRACK CONTINUED TO GROW UNTIL FINALLY LARGE CHUNKS JUST COLLAPSED INTO THE INSIDE OF THE DASH. I KEEP MY TRUCK GARAGED MOST OF THE TIME SO THIS REALLY SHOCKED ME. I WORRY ABOUT PIECES FALLING INSIDE THAT MAY CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS. *JB

I AM REPEAT DODGE CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, I HAVE RECENTLY BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT MY DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW CURRENTLY FALLING THROUGH IN SEVERAL LACES. IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN A LARGE CHUNK OF ABOUT SIX INCHES WIDE AND 8 INCHES LONG FELL THROUGH THE DASHBOARD, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS SHARP PIECE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN WEARING WORK BOOTS. AS MY DAUGHTERS HAVE ON OCCASION DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE I HAVE BECOME CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF ELECTRICAL WIRING DAMAGE AND/OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT PROBLEMS. I URGE SOMEONE TO PUSH FOR A RECALL BEFORE SHARP ITEMS DISFIGURED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IS INITIATED DUE TO NICKED WIRES. MY CONFIDENCE IN DODGE HAS TRULY DIMINISHED DUE TO THEIR DISREGARD ND UNCONCERN ON THIS MATTER. *JB

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4WD EXTENDED CAB TRUCK. THE DASH HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AND IS CRACKED AND PIECES ARE FALLING OUT. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASH HAS JEOPARDIZED THE SAFETY OF OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. *JB

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2001 DODGE RAM 2500. (CONSTRUCTION CO.) BY 2003 THE DASH WAS CRACKING. QUCIKLY FALLING APART WITH CHUNKS CAVING INWARD. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO NEGLIGENCE ON OUR PART AND OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR US. WE HAVE CALLED THE 800 NUMBER, SEEN ON TV BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP. THE 2ND TIME WE CALLED THEY DID NOT EVEN RETURN OUR CALL. AS YOU CAN SEE, BY THIS COMPLAINT SITE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF THE 2001 PICKUPS! WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT??

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM2500. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING JUST AS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT. NOW THE DASH HAS CRACKS ALL OVER IT AND SOME OF IT HAS FALLEN DOWN. I AM AWARE OF MANY, MANY OTHER DODGE TRUCKS MADE IN 2001 THAT ARE DOING THIS. EVENTUALLY THIS WILL LEAD TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES. DODGE SAYS THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS. IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS IF THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE DODGES WITH CRACKED UP AND FALLING APART DASHES, IT IS A MANUFACTURERES DEFECT.
