I HAVE 2 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. AND BOTH DASHES LOOK LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. ONE OF MY TRUCKS I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEAR BOOM ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT, THANK GOD I COULD GO INTO THE DITCH AND STOP THE TRUCK. BUT LONG STORY SHORT BOTH MY DASHES ARE BAD AND NO ONE WANTS TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY OVER IT. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PARK BOTH TRUCKS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THEM. ONE BLEW UP SO BAD THAT IT CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. *KB

DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK IN LATE 2007. IT HAS NOW COMPLETELY DESINTEGRATED AND LARGE PIECES HAVE COME LOOSE AND FALLEN BEHIND THE DASH. I'M TRULY CONCERNED THAT THE LOOSE DASHBOARD PIECES COULD CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TT

DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK. DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN EXPOSED WIRING AND NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAG WILL WORK IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS ALSO MADE THE TRADE IN VALUE LESS THAN WHAT IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND FIX! *TT

DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS, MY DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A HAIRLINE CRACK AND NOW LOOKS LIKE A ZIGGEDY ZAGGEDY PUZZLE WITH SOME EDGES VERY SHARP. THE DASH IS POPPED UP NOW AND DOESN'T EVEN STAY PERFECTLY FLAT. I AM FEELING A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED OR SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT OFFERED. THIS IS VERY TERRIBLE.

STRUCTURE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK'S DASHBOARD STARTED BREAKING UP INTO PIECES AND HAS BECOME WORSE SINCE 2007. PIECES FROM DASH ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE AREA THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER & OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE VITAL TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE PLUS WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS BEING EXPOSED. EVERY TIME WE GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD.....PIECES FLY OFF THE DASHBOARD & SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD.......MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS HIT BY ONE OF THESE PIECES. AFTER CHECKING ON COMPUTER, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS ON THE 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP, COMPLAINTS RANGE FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA...I AM VERY CONCERNED OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. PLEASE GO ONLINE AND CHECK COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND THIS WEEK AN ENTIRE PIECE FELL IN AND NOW SLIDES AROUND UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE READ ONLINE FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, INCLUDING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. THE PLASTIC IS ALSO VERY SHARP. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED CRACKS APPEARING IN THE TRUCKS UPPER DASH, SOON THE CRACKS GREW MORE NUMEROUS AND THEY STARTED TO CONNECT CREATING COMPLETE HOLES OR MISSING CHUNKS OF DASH PLASTIC LEAVING KNIFE LIKE SHARP POINTED EDGES. THIS LEAVES ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE AT RISK OF A LACERATION OR WORSE IF A COLLISION WERE TO OCCUR AND A CHUNK OF PLASTIC BECAME AIRBORNE AND IN CONTACT WITH VITAL AREAS OF THE BODY OR THE BODY WERE TO IMPACT THE DASH DIRECTLY WHERE THE POINTED EDGES ARE. ALSO THE MISSING PIECES ARE DROPPING INTO THE DASH ELECTRONICS AND VENTS CREATING A POSSIBLE MECHANICAL PROBLEM. *TR
