I HAVE AN 2001 DODGE RAM 3500. THE DASH IS BROKEN IN MANY PLACES AND FALLING INTO THE DASH COMPARTMENT. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH WIRING OR AIRBAG COMPONENTS IF NOT FIXED. THERE IS NO REASON DODGE SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT SEAMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH DODGE TRUCKS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 HAS FALLEN IN ON ITSELF. ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING A CRACK STARTED. A FEW MONTHS LATER ONE PIECE FELL IN AND 2 YEARS LATER MOST OF THE DASH IS BROKEN DOWN. THERE ARE SHARDS OF BROKEN PLASTIC EVERYWHERE UNDER WHERE IT WAS LOCATED. THERE ARE NO OLD PARTS AVAILABLE AS ALL OF THAT MODEL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THERE IS EVER A CRASH SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC WILL BE FLYING EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT I CAN FIND. PARTS THAT I CAN FIND ARE $300-$500 IN COST WHICH I WILL NOT PAY IN THAT EXCESS. IF I COULD FIND IT FOR $100 I WOULD REPLACE IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR 2 CRACKS STARTING IN MY DASHBOARD COMING FROM THE DEFROSTER VENT AREA WHERE THE 2 SCREWS ARE LOCATED. I UNDERSTAND MANY MANY OTHER RAM OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND MANY OF THEIR DASHES HAVE FELL COMPLETELY INWARD EXPOSING WIRING A SUCH. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM BUT THEY CANT FIX IT CAUSE THEIR IS NO OPEN RECALL ON IT YET! AS MUCH MONEY AS WE PAY FOR THESE VEHICLES WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT SOMETHING AS FUNCTIONAL AND COSMETIC AS YOUR DASHBOARD TO LAST. ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN SOON!! DODGE LET A VENDOR SUPPLY THEM WITH SUBPAR MATERIAL AND THEY KNOW IT YET THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE DASHES? MAKES NO SENSE. I JUST PURCHASE THIS TRUCK A FEW MONTHS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER THAT IS WHY THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS FILLED IN LIKE IT IS. PLEASE DO THE AMERICAN CONSUMERS SOME JUSTICE AND MAKE THE CHRYSLER CORP FIX ALL THESE CRACKED DASHES. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE DAKOTA THAT HAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE ARE OVER A 100 PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR A POTHOLE TOO HARD. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR DODGE TO RECALL THESE AUTOMOBILE, MAYBE SOMEBODY DYING. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT LARAMIE 2X4 IN MAY 2005 FROM CUTTER DODGE IN HAWAII WITH 32,000 MILES.. THE TRUCK WAS FLAWLESS. IN THE BEGINNING OF 2007 MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK. I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE TRUCK AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO PROLONG THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW DASHBOARD WITH PARTS AND LABOR IT WAS QUOTED AT $2100.00. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THROUGH NETWORKING THAT EVERYONE WHO OWNS A 2000-2003 DODGE RAM HAS A BAD DASHBOARD. IT SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BEING THE MAJORITY OF THE CRACKS ARE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE PURCHASED A DASHMAT TO TRY AND PROLONG WHAT IS LEFT OF THE DASHBOARD, AND AT THE SAME TIME UPSET THAT DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS, THAT ARE FAULTY. I'VE OWNED OLDER TRUCKS THAT DIDN'T HAVE DASHBOARDS THAT CRACKED OR FELL APART. COULD SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS? *TR

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. DASHBOARD HAS SO MANY CRACKS IN IT THAT IT IS BEYOND REPAIR. THE DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK MORE AS TIME GOES BY AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAVE IN FROM LOSS OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AROUND IT. *TR
