Cracks in the dashboard which does not allow the defogger to direct towards the windshield to enable the clearing of the windshield. *jb
My dashboard began cracking in the summer of 2005 and has continued to deteriorate to the point that it is collapsing in and creating electrical and safety issues. *ln
Dashboard of my ram 1500 2002 has been breaking into pieces in the first 3 years. started slow but eventually it's everywhere. i have asked at the dealership about this problem and found out on many occasions that they are aware but don't offer a solution or even a good replacement. only to buy a new truck made with a better dashboard because the replacement they sell is only $900.00 but made with the same materials. will be back at the same place with pieces of dashboards hitting our eyes,mouth or face. it is a danger to visibility while driving and a shame that a company can be allowed to use such low grade material that is sold to hard working individuals. i can accept if a few dashboards ended the same way but i've heard of too many being the same and that should be a recall before having someone go blind or die in an auto accident.
02 dodge ram 1500 dash falling apart. shorted radian wires and rubbing air bag on the passenger side causing significant possibility for air bag failure. dodge dealer offers no recall or recourse other than costly repair, only to reoccur. feel like this is an extreme safety hazard in many ways. *tr
Problem is with the dash board/panel cracking on my dodge ram 1500 truck. it is a year 2002 truck. on 10/18/2004, i complained to chrysler, they agreed to replace the dash panel which was cracked in 2 places. the part was free; however, they made me pay for labor. after only a few months, the dash started cracking yet again. in early 2005 i submitted e mails and received no response. i wrote chrysler complaining on 1/24/05 to which i received a response on 2/16/2005 telling me they would not cover replacement. i contacted chrysler via e mail again and they pretty much blew me off. i kept copies of the e mail traffic, and my protest that they would not replace the part. today, i just saw a news story on my local tv channel that showed dodge ram owners were having problems with the dash cracking, and they referred consumers to file a complaint with your agency. *jb

I have a 2002 dodge ram that replaced a lemon 2001 dodge ram. the 02 has had a problem with the front end pulling and shacking since the day received the truck it has been in for service 5 times since august 5th 2002. it also has problems with the engine idle allways dropping below 500 rpms and trying to stall along with very hard downshifting when coming to a stop. the dealers allways say unable to duplicate problem even though it happens on my way home from the dealer it is very frustarting to drop off the truck for days at a time once or twice a month and then be told unable to duplicate the problem and get in the truck and it happen but the dealers claim they dont feel the problem or can't find the problem. the tsb's for the engine idle have been performed and all it did was make it no stall out completly only idle way down and also my gas milage and the overall performance to go down. i have requested dodge buy this thing they call the mayor back on nov 15th 02 and they have not responded. what can i do now daimler is just ignoring my problems with this truck. i built a anti dodge website trying to get there attention as to how many other people are having these trouble as well and i have posted emails and stories from them on the web site.
