"TAKATA RECALL" THE DASH ON MY TRUCK IS ALL CRACKED UP AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK. IO CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE DODGE DASH'S I WENT RIGHT OUT SIDE AND PULLED MY DASH COVER BACK AND TOOK A LOOK AND TO MY SURPRISE MY DASH IS ALL CRACKED UP IN MANY PIECE'S . AND I HAVE HAD IT COVERED SINCE NEW...I DO FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD BE HELD REASONABLE FOR THIS , LOOKS LIKE THEY USED CHEAP PLASTIC ON THESE, I CAN SEE IT NOW IF I WAS TO HAVE A WREAK PLASTICS PIECES FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I HAVE A 2003 DODGE RAM2500 THAT HAS A CRACKED DASHBOARD AND THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DODGE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PUT INTO A RECALL SITUATION AND DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY AIR CONDITIONER AND I AM NOT CERTAIN BUT THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD BE CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK

ENGINE WILL CUT OFF DURING DRIVING. STALLS. I REPLACED BATTERY AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT CUTS OFF AND STALLS THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES IF YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IT MAY START. LOCK AND UNLOCK THE REMOTE CONTROL. OR JUST SAT AND WAIT OR HAVE IT TOWED HOME. MIDWAY DRIVING IT WILL SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR NO REASON. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE FUEL IS FULL OR LOW.

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN HEARING A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE THESE PAST FEW WEEKS. I LOOKED INTO THE MATTER AND HAVE FOUND ISSUES WITH THE MANIFOLD BOLTS THAT ARE BREAKING OFF AND CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE OF GILROY TODAY AND THEY STATE THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY ISSUES REGARDING THIS ENGINE HEMI 5.7. HOWEVER, AFTER LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE, IT APPEARS THEY'RE MANY ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL, AS IT IS A DANGER OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK ON ANY KIND OF ROUGH ROAD OR HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF I LOSE ALL POWER TO STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND ALL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE WIN MODULE IS THE ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY AND ON OUR WAY TO THE BEACH AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL ALMOST TO THE SHOULDER WHEN THE TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT WON'T RUN, THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF THE TRUCK AND WAS LYING ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR WHEEL WAS LOCKED. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE WERE DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC, IF NOT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. WE HAVE 4 PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK TOWING A BOAT AND MY WIFE IS 3-MONTH PREGNANT. WE WERE THANKFUL THAT THERE WAS A SHOULDER THERE FOR US TO REACT IN ABOUT 3 SECONDS WE GOT BEFORE IT BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY. WE COULD HAVE LOST OUR BABY OR OURSELVES IF THERE WERE A LOT OF TRAFFIC MOVING FAST. USUALLY A LITTLE LATER IN THE DAY. WE WAITED ALMOST 5 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO COME, AND HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP TO TAKE US HOME. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO AAMCO NEARBY AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR 12 DAYS WAITING FOR THEM TO ORDER PARTS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE U-JOINTS WERE BAD AND NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY THAT CAUSED THE DRIVE SHAFT TO FELL AND DESTROYED THE WHOLE REAR END BOTTOM. THE REPAIR COST IS ALMOST $2000. FROM MY RESEARCH, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM IN DODGE RAM, AND DODGE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BUT ONLY ON CERTAIN MODELS AND YEARS AND OURS IS NOT INCLUDED WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, TO PREVENT A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER AND THEY JUST SAID IT'S CAUSED BY WEAR AND TEAR, BUT WEAR AND TEAR SHOULDN'T BE A REASON IT CAN CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
