I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. THE OTHER DAY, I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH NEAR THE VENT. NEXT DAY, I GET IN AND THERE ARE 4 CRACKS. TODAY, MY DASH CRACKED OVER THE EDGE NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER GETTING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE (IE - FREE DASH REPLACEMENTS FROM DODGE). I HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRUCK BUT THIS IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE. THIS IS WHAT CHRYSLER/DODGE GETS FOR TRYING TO CHEAPEN THEIR MATERIALS IN ORDER TO SAVE A BUCK.

THE BOARD 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB DASHBOARD IS ALL CRACKED AND BREAKING APART. READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN MY LOCAL ACTION LINE SECTION WHERE OTHER DODGE OWNERS OF DIFFERENT MODELS BETWEEN THE YEARS 2000 AND NEWER WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING NEAR THE VENTS AND HAS PROCEEDED TO BREAK IN OTHER PLACES ALONG THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD, ABOUT LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I' HAVE ASKED AROUND TO PEOPLE RELATED IN THE INDUSTRY, AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT WAS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH. ALSO, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 2000 DODGE 1500 . PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU. *AK

WE OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERE CRACKED. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE, AND WE COULD NNOT AFFORD AND DO NOT FEEL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCH DONE ON THE INTERNET SHOWED THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.*AK

OIL PAN WAS REPLACED DUE TO RUST. COVERED BY WARRANTY, WITH $100 DEDUCTIBLE. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER CAN'T BUILD A PAN THAT WILL LAST A FULL FIVE YEARS. ALSO, ON THIRD SET OF BRAKES AT 81K MILES. APPARENTLY, AS SOON AS I TRADED MY TOYOTA, I STARTED DRIVING LIKE AN OLD LADY. EITHER THAT, OR THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK ARE SUBSTANDARD. EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE BROKE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR. ETC..........

I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION AND ALSO OWN ANOTHER DODGE (MAGNUM) BUT WILL GLADLY SWITCH TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER IF THIS ISN'T LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM!! THERE ARE MANY OF THESE CRACKED DASHES OUT THERE NOW AND DODGE IS LOOKING AT MANY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS AND MUST DEAL WITH THIS AND SOON!!!!

DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD - FIRST BEGAN CRACKING IN 2006. DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF PROBLEM AND REFUESED TO DO ANYTHING. IN SEPT EMBER 2006 THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY CRACKED INTO 3 PIECES. AGAIN TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBLILITY. THE ENTIRE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD WAS LOOSE AND VIBRATED. AFTER SEEING RECENT NEWS STORIES ON THIS I REALIZED THAT WAS NOT THE ONLY 'VICTIM. THE DEALER MAD ME FEEL LIKE I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG AND WAS RESPONSIBLE. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY DODGE - AT DODGE'S EXPENSE.*AK
