Driving 30 mph sudden strong smell of gasoline then visible white fog of vapor rose from defrost vents (defroster/fan not on) pulled over immediately but brake pedal went to floor with no activation of brakes. all this happened quickly, within 10 seconds used emergency brake to stop vehicle to evacuate 10 year old daughter and self barely in time. bystander shouting that it was on fire. fire erupted from under hood and spread into cab. fire dept. called by bystander as we used fire extinguishers unsuccessfully. truck was engulfed and destroyed. recalls were addressed spring of 2003. a later recall not realized by us includes fix for antilock brake controller corrosion that could cause fire. geico claim # 0480694490101028 but no compensation, as not covered for fire. fire dept. took a report, police said no collision so they didn't. i don't currently have the fire dept. report but may be able to obtain it.
Entire dash is cracking and falling apart. chunks are getting into electrical wiring harness and may cause safety malfunction. front window defroster not able to work correctly causing visual impairment. i am a ph.d. polymer chemist and this is obvious safety - manufacturing defect
I have purchased a 1999 dodge ram 1500 sport. the dash has had a problem in the past and cracked and split. i have replaced it but expect that it will happen again. the problem is when this occurs during an accident, there is the potential for the broken pieces of the brittle plastic to become shrapnel and puncture or become a flying projectile in the cab of the vehicle. if it is caught by the airbag, the speed can be accelerated when the airbag deploys. when will nhtsa issue a recall on the dashboard of these trucks. the bezel and the glovebox's are also splitting as well. when can the recall be expected. i have noted before that this problem exist on nhtsa's website under several categories.. it is a safety issue if the dash cracks or breaks off during an accident. owners are waiting for a recall so that they do not continue to have to pull money out of there pocket to fix repairs on items that should not have a problem.
1999 dodge ram 1500 pickup, while driving around 35-45 mph usually on a downhill grade the entire vehicle will begin to shake,the only word to describe it is violently and will not subside until you can get the speed below 20mph but you can not just apply the breaks or the shaking become uncontrollable,i have replace most of the suspension(control arms,ball joints ect.)nothing works.this has happened multiple times! i've talked to others and there is a name for it, dodge death wobble. also i am another victim of the dodge dash cancer, in the last couple of years my dash has basically disintegrated....considering bringing a class action lawsuit
I have a 99 dodge ram 1500. the dash is broken in so many different pieces. i looked down in one of the holes that are now in my dash and saw a piece resting on some wires. if left there i could see how after time it could wear through the insulation on multiple wires and cause them to arc or get hot and possibly cause a fire. is this right that dodge has done nothing about it and will not do anything for the consumer when contacted ? there should be a recall on the dash , but thats my 2 cents i guess. *tt
Dashboard falling apart very dangerous could cause serious injury or death big cracks starting to fall in could cause electrcal problems if in an accident could get shards of plastic in eyes and face
Dash had two small cracks in dash when purchased used in 2010. since then, these cracks have multiplied and have become larger, with pieces breaking out, leaving sharp edges. some pieces are falling into area of passenger air bag, possibly causing a cut in components. this is a very common problem with the ram pickup trucks during several years. i had same problem with my 2002 ram, on which chrysler corp. paid partially for dash replacement. this situation could very well be considered a safety issue. *js
My truck just cut off wouldnt start back run straight wire from ignition changed ignition relay nothing next run straight wire from relay to battery it started up i have no o/d and have to shift by hand sometimes truck stalls but starts right back up been this way since 2010 truck has 55000 miles on it.
At about 180,000 miles the dash cracked and within 3,000 miles the center of the dash completely fell in and keeps breaking more. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram 1500. the contact stated that the entire dashboard was cracking into multiple pieces. he did not notice any differences in the dashboard prior to the failure. the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. the current mileage was 82,000 and failure mileage was 75,000.
My truck dash on my 1999 dodge ram is cracked in about 20 different pieces. this started about 4 years ago and i brought it to the attention of my local dodge dealer and they said it was a common problem, but was not recalled. it has gotten worse over the years. chrysler/dodge says this is an isolated problem in a press release, but it is not. i am a police officer and have stopped an estimated 50-75 dodge ram trucks from around this year and have yet to see a single one that does not have a cracked dash. i have seen a recent news story about this on my local news and have seen thousands of complaints on the internet.
