Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When I purchased my dodge truck in 2012 the car lot where I bought it had used some kind of glue and tape on the dash it had every small crack. About 3 months later while driving down the road piece of dash fell out under my feet. Small pieces fell out several more times then bigger pieces started coming lose. I had to pull over and remove most of the dash in pieces. Now windshield is cracked my mechanic say its because of the dash being busted up like it is, that caused my windshield to crack.
Dash falling aprt deterioating.
The dash board has shattered and fallen into the vehicle. Pieces of the dash fly out at you when you turn the fan on. The pieces of the dash are allover the floor and get into everything. If we ere to be in an accident the air bags would come straight out the top and hit the windshield. The dash board provides no support to the vehicle and would not help anyone in the front seat if they were to be in an accident..

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 dodge ram 1500. While driving at speeds of 50 MPH, the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle.

He was taken to a hospital where he later became conscious and was advised by a state trooper that the air bags did not deploy upon impact. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed. The contact was injured during the crash. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer had been contacted when the complaint was filed. The failure and current mileages were 135,000.
Serious front end crash, occurred when 3 vehicles slammed on brakes to avoid a child and 2 dogs darting into the street. I was 3rd truck. Front end badly damaged, may be totaled air bags did not deploy. Have seen almost fifty complaints re 2000 dodge ram 1500 pick up. So far, chrysler has done zilch about it. Many injuries. How can they continue to get away with it. Who is watching out for us?? Do we have to go on television to get someone to listen to us??
The dash on my 2000 dodge ram 1500 quad cab began cracking about a year ago. At this time I have two large cracks that have met to form a half moon shape that is sticking up from the rest of the dash. I also ha have two smaller cracks that extend from the windshield to the edge of the dash where it curves down to the airbag. I am certain that should the airbag deploy in a crash sections of the dash were the cracks are will fly off and cause further injury to anyone in the passenger compartment.
My 2000 dodge ram 4x4 almost killed me no air bag and I was buckled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In williamsburg va.
