THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM IS CRACKING AND CRUMBLING. I CONTACTED DODGE'S (LACK OF) CUSTOMER SERVICE (THEIR REFERENCE NUMBER 1Z256049, REPS NAME WAS JESSICA). THEY TOLD ME (IN SO MANY WORDS) THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVE MY MONEY NOW AND ARE NO LONGER CONCERNED WITH MY RETURNING AS A CUSTOMER. SO THIS IS HOW THE "NEW DODGE" IS IMPROVING THE COMPANY??? IF THEY DO NOT STEP-UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE HONORABLE THING, SHAME ON THEM. THEIR REPUTATION WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THUS THEY WILL CERTAINLY PAY FOR THEIR SHAMEFUL METHODS IN THE END. REGARDS, JOSH *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, EQUIPMENT
BOUGHT A 2 YR OLD DURANGO WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT AT CARMAX. AT 116,000 MILES IT STARTED KNOCKING. I TOOK IT TO ALLEN SAMUELS DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THE ENGINE FAILED. WE REPLACED THE ENGINE AT OUR COST FOR 6K, BECAUSE WE STILL OWED 7K ON THE VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT NEW TIRES AS WE DECIDED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND TRY TO RECOVER SOME OF THE COST. 3 MONTHS LATER, THE NEW ENGINE FAILED, THE VEHICLE DIED AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND TURNING UNDER AN OVERPASS. I WASN'T AWARE THE VEHICLE HAD DIED, UNTIL I REALIZED THE POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN. THE DEALER IS GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE THIS TIME, BUT WE HAVE DECIDED WE NEED TO CUT OUR LOSSES AND GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP A CAR LIKE THIS. WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT WE TRAVEL IN AS A FAMILY DAILY. IT IS TOTALLY UNDEPENDABLE AND UNSAFE. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASH BOARD AND BEZEL HAVE SEVERELY CRACKED. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT DODGE HAS USED INFERIOR MATERIALS (PLASTICS) IN MAKING THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE AIR BAG EVER DEPLOYS SHRAPNEL WILL FLY! WHEN THE CRACKS FIRST HAPPENED I DID COMPLAIN TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK, AT THE TIME, WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS A "SORRY WE CAN NOT HELP YOU BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT UNDER A RECALL." THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS WANT ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM WITH A SOLUTION FROM DODGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 2500 WHICH I TAKE GREAT CARE OF . I CLEANED, WAXED, DETAIL IT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK . FIVE-SIX MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS WIPING OFF MY DASH I GASHED ONE OF MY FINGERS REALLY BAD, AFTER I GOT THE BLEEDING TO STOP I WENT BACK TO CLEAN UP THE BLOOD AND FIND OUT WHAT I HAD CUT IT ONE. I WAS VARY UPSET TO FIND A LARGE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD . I THOUGHT AT THAT TIME MAYBE IT WAS THE CLEANER I WAS USING SO I CHANGED BRANDS. NOW I HAVE AROUND 10 HUGE CRACKS THAT MAKES MY DASH LOOK LIKE A UGLY JIGSAW PUZZLE. WHICH MY 2 YR. OLD DAUGHTER THOUGHT LOOKED NEAT UNTIL SHE GOT HER FINGER PINCHED IN ONE OF THE CRACKS. AFTER THAT I STARTED THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FIND A CHEAPER REPLACEMENT ON THE WEB BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO BECOME RICH OFF THERE REPLACEMENT DASH BOARD, I CAME ACROSS THIS SITE - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/RAM_1500/2001/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/CRACKED_DASHBOARD.SHTML ) IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT CHRYSLER NOW KNOWS THEY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM AND EXPECT THEIR PAYING CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THEIR LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A DODGE 2001 2500 RAM TRUCK THAT HAS DETERIORATED BEFORE MY EYES. IT HAS LARGE GAPING HOLES OVER THE WHOLE THING AND THE DASH CONTINUES TO CRUMBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN ANGLETON, TEXAS DIRECTLY OFF THE LOT, BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO HELP WITH THIS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL DEVELOP ELECTRICAL AND VARIOUS PROBLEMS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE. *TR
