MY 2001 DODGE RAM DASHBOARD IS FALLING APART. TRUCK IS IMMACULATE BUT MY DASH LOOKS LIKE A ROADMAP. CRACKS START AT THE DEFROST VENTS AND CONTINUE UP DASH MEETING EACH OTHER IN PLACES. I KNOW 9 PEOPLE THAT OWN RAMS IN MY AREA AND ALL 9 HAVE CRACKED DASHBOARDS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I LOVE DODGE BUT IF THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT AND FIX WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED THEY WILL LOSE ME AS A CONSUMER FOREVER. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY CRUMBLING AWAY. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ADMITTED TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF THE DASH COMPONENT. PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH REPLACEMENT DEMAND. DODGE IS SELECTIVELY COVERING REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER AFFAIRS THEY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND REFUSED TO EFFECT ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 AND MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKING. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND IS NOW STARTING TO FALL APART. WITHOUT HAVING TO RESEARCH VERY LONG ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE UNDER A MASS RECALL. ONCE THE DASH BEGINS TO FALL APART WIRING BEGINS TO MELT CAUSING LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENTS TO CEASE WORKING OR MALFUNCTION PUTTING EVERYONE AT RISK. THIS IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD FOR EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER GIVEN ITS CURRENT CONDITION AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS TAKEN CARE OF BY DODGE. *TR

ONE DAY IN THE SUMMER OF 2007, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 2500. LATER, MANY CRACKS APPEARED AND PORTIONS OF THE DASHBOARD HAVE ACTUALLY FALLEN THROUGH INTO THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND GAUGES. THIS HAS CAUSED A FEW INSTANCES OF THE LIGHTS AND GAUGES TO MALFUNCTION AT TIMES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
2001 DODGE RAM 1500; AFTER DRIVING LONG DISTANCES, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND TURNING IT BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, USUALLY AFTER SWITCHING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND / OR SWITCHING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM A FEW TIMES THE LOW BEAMS WILL COME BACK. THE LAST TIME THE LOW BEAMS DID NOT COME BACK FOR 3 DAYS. I WENT TO THE FAIRFIELD LITHIA DODGE DEALER TO REPLACE THE HEAD LAMP SWITCH, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE LIGHT SWITCHES WITH THE CARGO DIMMER/SWITCH. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THERE WOULD BE ANY SWITCHES AVAILABLE. *TR
