I'm worried that the air bag on passenger side is defective as the strangest noise is coming from behind the dash like a rubber band is tightening and then clicking on and off. doesn't happen all the time. i've also had my truck in for the steering before and it has never been right. now the hood will not shut right. it's always been a lemon. i fight to keep it on the road. it doesn't even have 36,000 miles on it. i'm wondering what recalls i've missed so i'm checking. thank you.
Cspc: the dashboard on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck has become extremely brittle. it cracks without warning and sends shards into the passenger compartment. *dt *js
I believe i purchased the vehicle into thousand two and in approximately 2006, they dashboard started severely cracking and falling apart in pieces. i purchased a dashboard cover to try to hold the dashboard in place and prevent chunks of the dashboard from flying loose and hitting either myself or a passenger in the vehicle. on december 23, 2017, i was driving and a chunk of the dashboard flew out of the air conditioner vent and hit me in the eye. luckily i was not hurt but i am very concerned this will not be the case next time. i don't have another vehicle to drive and i got an estimate for $1500 to replace it and i don't have the money to do this, neither should i have to replace it because i've done research and it was a major faulty defect on the manufactures part. please contact me asap to resolve this issue so that i'm not injured or a passenger riding with me is not injured. my number is [xxx] and my email address is [xxx] since i have to drive this vehicle because i don?t have ...
Plastic dash i'd falling apart stuff falling off sharp objects not so sure dash isn't going to fall down around my feet and keep me from braking as needed
I purchased this vehicle new in 2001. since then, the dashboard has been replaced 3 times. once by dodge and 2 times by me. this dashboard continues to crack and split. now the bezel has cracked into several pieces. now, within the last week, the glovebox, made of the same plastic material has split and broken at the hinges. i have noticed that this is a real problem that is all over nhtsa's complaint board under several locations such as body, structural, airbags. these dashboards have cracked so badly, no one knows which portion of the vehicle that is affected but could show up in several locations. although they have blamed this on uv degradation, i have other vehicles from 1986 and 87 that still have never had this problem. i also have a1999 dodge 1500 that the dash has also cracked and i have replaced as well. when will nhtsa finally issue a recall for free replacements. right now, mopar and aftermarket parts continue to sell the dashboard that has multiple defects. if the dash comes apart during a crash, shrapnel from the dash can be ...
While driving a huge cracking noise created a very large hole in the front dash just under the windshield. pieces of this flew out into the cab creating a driving hazard. pieces continue to break off as i now have a huge hole that i have no one has any idea how to repair. the dash material must be defective as i have never had any other cars/trucks with this problem.
Dashboard on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 is cracking on like an egg. it is cracking on top and the front where the stereo is located. i have only had the ram for about a year. i would like to know if there is a recall on this and where can i take it to get the issue resolved.
I bought this truck new. i have maintained it regularly. about 2 years ago i noticed a large crack in the dash. since that time the cracks have expanded until pieces are falling out of the dash. this is a safety issue! i have even a minor accident the sharp pieces of this broken dash could injure me or my passenger. i looked into having the dash replaced and was given a price of more than $2000. this is too much for me to be expected to pay to repair a defect that is totally dodge's fault. there should be a recall on this.
I have a dodge ram 1500 truck. my entire dash is coming apart. a piece flew off and hit me in the face while driving i slammed on the brakes and my wife hit the windshield cracking it. my lights on my ceiling went out don't work
When i go to open the door the lights don't work , and the dashboard on my truck breaks into pieces i need a new one!!
The dashboard on this vehicle has broken into many jagged pieces. this was not caused by myself or by the vehicle's age. it was caused by the use of faulty materials. if i were to get into accident, these jagged pieces could easily be projected into me. i have contacted the manufacturer three times about this and they refuse to fix their mistake.
Dash is cracking and falling apart for no reason. getting worse as time goes on.
My truck has 185000 miles on it and started sounding like the back brakes were grinding. on the way to the mechanic the back tires locked up and broke the drive shaft off. lucky for me i was only going 40 miles an hour.
On feb 28 2015 while moving my all of my belongings to a new residence my 2001 dodge ram 1500 caught on fire destroying everything i own, there where no warning signs or recall notices sent to me. *tr
The dash on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 is cracking in many different places. the front bezel on the instrument gauge panel is also cracking. my dodge ram has under 60,000 miles on it. i have always used a sun shade on this truck, so the cracking is not from sun exposure. i know this is happening to most dodge trucks around the same year as mine. this should be recalled and should be replaced by the manufacturer .
