INTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 4X4, ON SAT 4-17-10 MY FAMILY AND I WERE CAMPING IN NORTHER MICHIGAN, CLIMBED INTO MY TRUCK AND CLOSED THE DOORS. ONCE WE CLOSED THE DOORS THE DASH SHATTERED AND A PLASTIC SHARD FLEW ONTO MY 18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTERS LAP AND SHE PICK IT UP. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT AWAY FROM HER BEFORE SHE ATE IT. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A CALL BACK FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT REPLACING THE DASH. I SHATTERED IN MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS THE DASH AND IN MANY DIRECTIONS. I ONLY HAVE 58,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE REPLACED!

2001 DODGE RAM 2500 THE DASH BEGAN TO FALL APART IN PIECES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE PIECES ARE NOW FALLING DOWN IN BEHIND THE DASH. MY FEAR IS THAT THESE PIECES MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. (LIGHTS, BRAKES, AIR BAG, GOD ONLY KNOWS) THE DASH PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD, THAT AFTER CONTACTING NUMEROUS AFTERMARKET AND SALVAGE SUPPLIERS, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE NO DASHES AVAILABLE FOR MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED DODGE AND LEARNED THAT MY TRUCK IS "OUT OF WARRANTY". THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE DASH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

EQUIPMENT
MY DASH STARTED CRACKING BEFORE I BOUGHT IT BACK IN 3/2009 BUT NOW THE CRACKS ARE "HOLES". THE DASH IS LITERALLY CAVING IN. WHAT IS LEFT IS SHARP EDGED PIECES THAT CAN EASILY CUT YOU. ALSO, THE WIDE OPEN CRATERS ARE ALLOWING THE HOT TEXAS SUN TO BAKE THE WIRING AND HAS TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE RANDOM INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE CROPPING UP PERIODICALLY.

2001 DODGE RAM 1500. DASH IS DISENEGRATED. STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND DASH IS ALL SPLINTERED UP. WHEN DASH CAVES IN, COULD THIS CAUSE A FIRE WITH SHORTING OUT THE WIRES? NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER AND WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECTED PART. DODGE OFFERED NO REASON AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE TRUCKS FROM EARLY ON UP UNTIL APPROXAMATELY THE 2001 YEAR.

WE OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM CLUB CAB. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED BUT IN GREAT CONDITION FEBRUARY 2006. WHEN PURCHASED IT HAD A TINY CRACK IN THE DASH UP NEAR THE WINDSHIELD NOTHING WORTH MAKING A BIG DEAL OF. OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS SO MANY CRACKS HAVE APPEARED YOU CANT TELL IT USED TO BE ONE PIECE! ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A NOISE, TURNING OFF THE RADIO AND STOPPING THE TRUCK I LOOKED UP TO FIND THE DASH LITERALLY BREAKING APART BEFORE MY EYES. THESE CRACKS ARE THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE TRUCK. DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. SINCE WHEN ARE THEY EXEMPT FROM HAVING TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURES. IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE RUINING THEIR OWN NAME BY TURNING THEIR HEADS TO THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. THEY MAKE SOME GREAT TRUCKS, SO WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO RUIN THEIR OWN REPUTATION BY NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS? *TR
