2000 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH A DISINTEGRATING DASH. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH A TINY CRACK IN THE DASH, HAD NO IDEA IT WAS SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS, THE DASH HAS STARTED DISINTEGRATING BEFORE OUR EYES. LARGE JAGGED CHUNKS ARE BREAKING OFF, OPENING UP THE WHOLE DASH, EVEN AROUND THE AIR BAGS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS A CRASH, THE AIR BAGS EITHER WONT WORK OR THE DASH WILL BREAK OFF INTO A MILLION SHARDS AND KILL US. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! MY SON ACTUALLY CUT HIS FINGER PICKING UP SOMETHING FROM THE DASH THE OTHER DAY! *TR

DASH HAS CRACKED AND PIECE FALLEN OUT. SINCE THE DASH HOLDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG A CRACKED DASH COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CRACKED DASH IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE DODGE PICKUPS FROM 1998. THE DEALERS WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS, I HAVE A COLLAPSED DASHBOARD IN MY 2000 MODEL RAM. THE TRUCK IS IN ABSOLUTE PERFECT SHAPE WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES... EXCEPT FOR THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC THAT CUT MY WRIST WHEN I WAS RETRIEVING A PAPER OFF THE DASHBOARD. I SURE NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE INJURED WHILE SITTING IN A STATIONARY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. SURELY IT'S NOT A SAFE SITUATION TO HAVE A COLLAPSED DASHBOARD OVER SO MANY ELECTRICAL WIRES AND AIR BAGS. *TR

STRUCTURE
DODGE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND DISINTEGRATED. 2000 RAM 1500 5.2 LITER. THE WHOLE DASH FELL APART. SAFETY ISSUES ARE THE SHARP JAGGED RAZOR SHARP EDGES, AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF DASH ASSEMBLY. FUNCTION OF AIR BAG IS IN QUESTION. I TOOK AFTER MARKET DASH COVER, USED IT FOR A MOLD AND LAID UP A NEW DASH WITH FIBER GLASS. WILL NOT PURCHASE NEW/USED DASH BOARD AS THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE CHRONIC, POOR QUALITY ABS IS THE CAUSE. WILL NOT RISK A REPEAT INCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 3500 VAN THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVERS 'FALLS' OUT OF PARK AND GOES INTO REVERSE ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS AND THE NHTSA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES WITH A DATE OF MANUFACTURE FROM 07/2000 TO 07/2002 AND IS CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V555000. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED ON 05/2000 (2 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE) SO CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY SHIFTER LINKAGE ON MY VAN. *TR
