The plastic dashboard and related underpinnings and suport structure for everything from passenger airbag,radio, climate control and vents, headlight, mirror defroster, gauge pod, onboard diagnostic plug, etc. began disintegrating in large sharp pieces while driving. these pieces cut wiring and fles for anything and everything and are distracting and dangerous in multiple ways worse if in an accident. i had to remove radio, and disable airbags for safety. replacement parts alone are potentially in the thousands, not including labor and wiring harness repairs.

I own a 2002 dodge ram 2500 cummins diesel pickup. this is the previous body style that ran from 1994 to 2002 in the 2500 and 3500 trucks. when i switch from high beams to low beams, the lights shut off completely. it is extremely dangerous to have your lights go out at highway speeds with oncoming traffic. i have heard of many other complaints from owners of these trucks. why is there no recall on this safety issue? *tr

Have had nothing but trouble with my 02 ram 2500 truck. rear brake pads had nothing but rust holding the pads in place, had the turbo and fuel pump replaced, u-joints and yoke on 4wd shaft worn out and hanger bearing on rear drive shaft worn out at about 70,000mi, tail gate cable broke after only two years, when clicking from high beam to low beam occasionally all lights go out, cannot use heated mirrors because they will blow a fuse and i won't have any heat, and now all ball joints and tie rod ends are worn and need replaced. i bought this truck new with only 75 miles on it, when i had the fuel pump and turbo replaced at around 78,000 miles, my mileage increased from about 350 miles per tank to about 550 miles per tank of fuel. highway driving is much higher mpg. fuel gage no longer works, empty at half tank of fuel now. was quarter tank and empty. i'm sure the transmission will be next, i've been putting special fluid additive in that, this seems to help with smoothness of shifting and power. never ever will i waste my money on a vehicle made by the "big three" again. there is a good reason why toyota is taking over the market.*tr
