UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS 2003 DODGE 2500 HAS A CRACKED AND CRUMBLING DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD FLY INTO THE AIR AND HIT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE FACE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE REASON I HAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN IS BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK AND I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE NO MECHANIC WILL TAKE APART THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IF IT IS TAKEN APART.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP I COULD HEAR A RATTLING/VIBRATION SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE UNTIL I FOUND THE HEAT SHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS LOOSE DUE TO BROKEN STUD BOLTS. I DID NOT REPAIR IMMEDIATELY AS I THOUGHT THE BREAK WAS SUPERFICIAL (OUTSIDE THE MANIFOLD). OVER THE NEXT MONTH A SLIGHT EXHAUST LEAK COULD BE HEARD, WHICH HAS GOTTEN VERY LOUD NOW. THERE IS CLEARLY AT LEAST ONE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON PASSENGER SIDE. I AM SECOND OWNER (PURCHASED AT 19,000 MILES), SO LIFETIME WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID. I FEAR THIS LEAK COULD CAUSE POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE GAS TO FILL THE CABIN OF MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE HEARD, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT REACHED RECALL STATUS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SHOPPING CENTER ACCESS ROAD AT 15-20 MPH, THE DRIVE SHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITHOUT WARNING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEAKED OUT COMPLETELY. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. THANK GOD I WASN'T TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2005 MODEL YEARS (DODGE RAM 1500 RECALL 14V796000) AS WELL AS 2009-2010 MODEL YEARS (THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF A PREVIOUS RECALL, NHTSA NUMBER 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34.CHRYSLER'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS N08). I FEEL ALL MODELS FROM 2005 THROUGH 2010 AND EVEN 2011 SHOULD BE INCLUDED.
