What 1995 Dodge RAM 1500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The dash started cracking about 4 months ago, and then started breaking into sharp, jagged pieces that jump out at me when driving down the road, and the truck has hit any kind of uneven road or bump. Not only is it very distracting, but the pieces are very sharp.
Dash board crumbles, we have looked to find another dash board and found out this is a problem, almost a joke, we have been told it's a dodge dash board.. They all do this. I believe it's a safety issue if the truck were involved in a mvc then the pieces of the dash would become flying objects.. And injury any one sitting in the truck. We have owned several dodge caravans and never had a problem like this or seem such an across the board problem with so many vechlies. Dodge needs to offer a replacement a fix.. Before the worst happens.
The dash on my 1995 dodge ram 1500 is broken into pieces and getting worse I am worried about wires shorting out and causeing a fire and also the paint is almost gone from the roof and hood of the truck I have seen both issuses on many other dodge trucks and think something should be done to compensate owners for the cost of repaires to there trucks its not our fault its a manufacture defect
