2000 dodge ram 1500 it have a cracked dashboard. *tr

Dash is falling apart. *tr

My dashboard started cracking shortly after i purchased this truck. now the dash is cracked in a way that if i touch it or if any weight is up on it, it will collapse on itself. the dealer told me that i would have to file a complaint regarding it or pay them a significant amount to remove and replace the dash with a similar dashboard, which may crack and break apart in the future as well. after speaking to the dealer i went to touch the dash, it buckled and pinched my hand from one of the cracks. pulling my hand up the dash then layered itself. *tr

Dodge ram 1500 pickups have two expensive/serious problems. (1) the air-conditioner evaporators under the dash fail and (2) the dash itself cracks in several places, so when the ac repairs (involving dash removal) take place, the mechanic tells you he/she has to also replace the dash...which is true. many many complaints of dash cover failures in dodge ram 1500 and other similar vehicles. repairs run $1200 or more. dash should be a recall item. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 dodge ram 1500. after putting 400 miles on the vehicle, it began overheating while driving uphill at an unknown speed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced the transmission cap. when the windows were rolled down, they would not go back up. in addition, the headlights would dim when the windows were rolled up and down. while driving between 5-10 mph uphill, the exhaust system fell off the vehicle. the bolts were not properly tightened. the cd changer had to be replaced after failing twice. there was also a grinding noise in the transmission when the shifter was placed into gear, and there was a hesitation when placing the gear into reverse or drive. the transmission has been rebuilt, but the vehicle is still grinding and hesitating when placed into gear, drive, or reverse. on may 22, 2008, the vehicle will be taken to the dealer for the driveshaft to be replaced in hopes that the grinding will cease. the current mileage was 73,500 and failure mileage was 400.

I own a 2000 dodge ram 1500 truck. i purchased it used. when i puchased my truck the dashboard had two hierline cracks in it and i thought nothing about it. over the last 8 months, my dashboard has been falling apart. now i have cracks all over it and pieces coming off. there is a 10" hole on the drivers side. it is cavening in a little more everyday. i have done nothing to cause this problem. my father informed me of an orlando, fl news station (local 6) that has done an investigation on this problem and though their website and news articles i was directed here. i'm reporting my problem so i can have it documented.

My dash board on my 2000 dodge ram 1500 pick up has cracked and fallen in and it is making the glove box hard to open and shut. i really do believe that it should be recalled and replaced and not at my expense. *tr

Hole in ac system. paid $130 to find out that i had a leak in my evaporator of my ac unit. very difficult to find. even more difficult to replace. truck is only 5 years old.

I have cracked dashboard in my 2000 dodge 1500 ram pickup. this could damage the wiring in the vehicle and cause more unnecessary repairs had this not happen. the quality of the plastic is bad. it does not last more than 2 or three years before it starts cracking. *tr

While driving air conditioner warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. as a result, windshield defroster was inoperative. dealer indicated call nhtsa and they will take care of your problem.*ak

I have a 2000 dodge pickup 1500 and my dashboard is crack, large pieces have broken off. wire, air vents and other items are exposed in the open and to the sun. i have experience problems with my air condition and radio speakers. i noticed that my dashboard had cracks 5 years ago, i called and email dodge to informed them of my situation, but they had no recalls and no manufacturing defects that been reported for this problem. but i researched the internet and found many websites stating their concerns and issues with their dashboard on dodge pickups. i hope this problem can be resolved and that dodge will take responsibility and acknowledge their mistake with the dashboard for dodge pickups. *tr

2000 dodge ram 1500 4x4 w/ over drive . transmission needs to be replaced after 75,000 miles. also have had several other problems with truck during the three years. *jb

Transmission started slipping in overdrive. took to dealer was told nothing was wrong. 1 1/2 weeks later. on christmas. stopped at stop sign. went to go and had no foward gears. luckily there was very little traffic. vehicle was towed to dealer. still waiting for a response.

I purchased a 2000 dodge ram 1500 new in 2000. at 50,000 miles the dash began to crack at 2 yrs old. although i purchased an extended warranty to 75k miles, i was informed by a dealer that trim and upholstery was not covered. now the dash has completely failed, a huge hole has emerged, it rattles this has caused the defrost vent not work properly and possibly the passenger airbag may be compromised due to the dash becoming unsecure because the plastic has broken from around the screws. i recently went to another dealer to get a quote of over $1000 to repair. the dealer tells me that chrysler has been fixing these trucks if the original owner still owns it regardless of warranty expiration. because of the product failure. so i then call the 800 number given only to be told that it is basically too late now because my truck is 8 yrs old. this was hard to swallow because i tried to repair it under my extended warranty when only 2 yrs old. i am very, very dis-satisfied with the product and service of chrysler corp. i know that there are literally thousands of have experienced the same problem and i look at every truck the same body style as mine, and they all have cracked dashes. i went online to find several websites of dodge owners with the same problem with warranty and service. this is a factory defect that chrysler should at least offer a substantial amount of assistance with the repair or lower the cost of the parts to repair so that people can afford them. *tr

Goodyear invecta gl tires experience uneven and premature wear, dealer states tires are wrong type for vehicle, dodge states tires are correct, tires caused vibration and caused vehicle to drift, tire size p235/75r15. bezle was loose on driver door panel, rear doors leaked, dealer adjusted and aligned both rear doors due to excessive gap. vehicle experienced coolant leak. consumer hears wind noise. air conditioner would not cool properly. there is a loud noise from the exhaust. vehicle gets poor gas mileage, only gets around 9 miles per gallon. *slc

The passenger quad door speaker buzzes, dealer replaced speaker, the buzzing noise is still present. *slc
