THE DASH ON MY 99 DODGE RAM QC 4X4 STARTED CRACKING IN 2003 AND NOW THERE ARE PIECES OF THE DASH BREAKING OFF AND FALLING INSIDE. NOW I AM HAVING WIRING ISSUES AND NOBODY WILL REPAIR OR EVEN LOOK AT THE TRUCK WITH THE DASH LIKE IT IS. I TALKED TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS COMMON AND IT WILL COST OVER $400 TO FIX. THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE WIRING THAT THIS FAILURE CAUSED. NOW I AM WONDERING IF I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THE AIRBAGS WILL EVEN DEPLOY! *JB

THE DASH ON MY 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB IS CRACKING ALL OVER. IT IS BEGINNING TO FALL APART. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE (ONE THAT I BABY) AND I AM ITS ONLY OWNER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ON NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT ALSO MY PASSENGERS. IF WE WERE TO BE IN A WRECK, I AM NOT SURE THAT THE SHARP PLASTIC WOULDN'T BREAK OFF AND HURT US. *TR

THE DASH ON MY 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP IS CRACKING HORRIBLY AND FALLING APART. I'M AFRAID THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOY, THAT IT MIGHT CAUSE THE DASH TO FRAGMENT, SENDING SHRAPNEL FLYING THROUGH THE TRUCK. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECONDARY LATCH ON THE HOOD FAILED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND GREATER, THE VIBRATIONS FROM THE UNEVEN PAVEMENT CAUSE THE HOOD TO OPEN A COUPLE OF INCHES. THE LATCH HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V040000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH) IS RELATED TO THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT HE WAS A MONTH LATE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VIN, PURCHASE DATE, AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 163,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
MY 1999 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL A BRAKE LINE BURST. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED WITHOUT DAMAGE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT MOST ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE VACUUM BOOSTER TO THE REAR ARE VERY RUSTY AND READY TO BURST TOO. RESEARCHING THIS I FIND THIS TO BE COMMON WITH DODGE RAM PICKUPS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

I HAVE A CRACKED DASH ON MY TRUCK AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IT MAKES THE VEHICLE APPEAR CHEAP AND POORLY MANUFACTURED. I WILL NEED TO REPLACE MY DASH AS IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL EFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN A CRASH. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB TRUCK AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 1999. THIS PAST YEAR MY DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING AND THEN JUST CAVED IN. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR KIDS. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. I AM NOW STARTING TO HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL. THIS IS A HAZARD TO ME AND MY KIDS. I PROMISE SOMEONE WILL BE SUED IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MYSELF OR MY KIDS. DODGE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT CALL THIS A RECALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND MY DASH BOARD CRACKED FROM THE WINDOW ABOUT 6 INCHES UP. THE CRACKS HAVE MULTIPLIED SINCE THEN TO 12 CRACKS AND SOME PARTS OF THE DASH HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DASH. I DRIVE A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY QUOTED ME $550 FOR THE TOP PART OF THE DASH. I KNOW OF 6 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY DASH REPLACED BY THE DEALER.
