THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FALLEN APART. THERE ARE NOW HOLES IN IT. WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL ON IT BUT TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR IT, AS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS THIS, IF SO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE US ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2001 DODGE, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING WHEN THEY MOLDED THE PLASTIC. WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INVESTMENT THAT IS FALLING APART, THAT IS THEIR FAULT? NOT ONLY HAS THE DASH CRACKED ON OUR AUTO BUT, THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BUSTED LOOSE FROM THE PLASTIC AND IS NOW LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH. THE HEADLINER AND ONE OF THE INTERIOR FOLD DOWN MIRRORS HAS COME APART. THIS AUTO IS LITERALLY FALLING APART IN THE CAB. PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROPERLY. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 3 OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MY AREA WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2001 DODGE RAM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, HE NOTICED A SMALL HOLE IN THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE. GASOLINE WAS LEAKING DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE FUEL RAIL ONTO THE MOTOR NEXT TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT A FIRE COULD HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE FUEL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL FAIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $611. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE PROVIDED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,100. UPDATED 06/12/09 *BF UPDATED 06/16/09*JB

THE DASH BOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK STARTED TO CRACK ABOUT 3 YRS AGO AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER EVER SINCE. DODGE HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE MY FIRST CALL IN SEPT 2006. EVERY 01 DODGE I'VE SEEN HAS A CRACKED DASH BOARD COVERED WITH A DASH CARPET/COVER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED! DODGE IS/WAS A GREAT COMPANY I THOUGHT. I WILL BE TAKING BUSINESS ELSE WHERE IF I CAN'T GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR
