Dashboard cracking after being taken care of properly.
I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 truck. The entire dash has several cracks throughout it and parts of it are starting to cave in. I see where many people are having the same problem. This is poor construction. I have contacted dodge and they wont back their product. The vehicle has only been driven 8k-10k a year.
I own a 2000 dodge ram 1500 with cracks in the dash.
My dash board fell in on my 2000 dodge ram on my way into work and is progressively getting worse from weather conditions. I am afraid this could cause electrical problems with the sun beating down on exposed wires and other possible damage to the vehicle.
Dash board had crumbled and fall off from the dash. Now there is an open space at my dash. It is unfair they made this kind of dash board weak and selling it at the cost of $800.00 dlls to replace it. We pay for a truck that is build to last. And still here we have a dash that just broke by adding armor and a rag to clean it up. Still they put commercials that is the best truck with the best warranty and failed to replace it.

I own a 2000 dodge ram 1500 about a month ago my dash starting cracking & collapsing.
I have a 2000 dodge 1500 p/u every since we bought the truck we cannot get any help to replace the cracked dashboard. Its a hazard while driving, the trucks value is' 0' due to the cracked dash. Dodge should be 100% responsible for replacement of defected part! We did nothing to cause damage, we cant even wipe it when we clean the truck. I am in fear that my new grandson could get cut from the sharp edges if he were to put his hands on the dash. Plus me & my stroke.
This is a dodge 1500 2000. I bought this used and it did have a hair crack in the dash. Within 6 months this hair crack turned into more than a dozen throughout the dash with the area of the vent starting to fall through. Could this be a hazard.
The dash in my 2000 dodge ram is cracked, broke and falling off in chunks . Dodge is aware of the problem but not willing to fix it......... This is a huge problem with alot of customers.
Dash board of 2000 dodge ram 1500 completely cracked and falling apart to the point of turning off passenger airbag for fear of it literally exploding the dash if it goes off.
I bought a 2000 dodge ram 1500 yesterday 12/26/08 as a christmas present for myself and as I was driving home later that day at 10:30 pm and the hood of the truck all of a sudden came up and hit the windshield, causing me to hit the brakes at come to a stop on a busy road.
Purchased 2000 dodge ram 1500 pick up used in 2003. In the same year the dash board started to crack ,it now has large pieces missing. Spoke to dealer who was not able to help. I know three people who own dodge trucks similar years,all three have cracking dash boards.
I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500. The dashboard on my truck is cracking. It's not only cracking it's falling apart. The pieces of dash "sharp plastic" is falling down into where electrical wiring is. Plus these pieces of dashboard is very sharp. This is a safety hazard. This is a serious problem that need to be address. It's been an ongoing problem for sometime since 2006 and continues to get worst.
I have a 2000 dodge pickup. The dashboard has been cracking in several laces over the last few years. It keeps getting worse every time I look at it. I contacted dodge and they told me to get an estimate from my local dealer. When I contacted them back with the estimate I was told there was nothing they could do about it. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Hopefully there will be a recall after they get there bailout money.
Dash is cracking on my 2000 dodge truck 1500 ,would like my dash replaced don't want a hole in my dash causing headlight to go out this could be a safety issue.
The dashboard in my 2000 dodge ram 1500 pickup just started cracking for no reason a while back and has now degraded to the point that a large piece of the dashboard fell off exposing the inner dash area. My research has shown this to be a large scale issue with dodge ram pickups and other chrysler vehicles.
My dashboard also is severely cracking we all know there is a air bag in there and when mine goes off I'm suing the hell out of dodge. This is a extremely common problem and should be addressed.
Dashboard cracking and falling in. In approximately late 2006, my dashboard developed minor cracks. Soon the cracks got larger until pieces started falling into the dash cavity. I went to my dodge dealer with the concern about a recall, but there were no recalls for this symptom. Dodge said it would pay 1/2 of the repair, a total of about $2,000 of which I would have to pay about $1,000. I could not afford this at the time. Since then, the dash has continued to crumble apart. Now, the air conditioner unit has a hole in the evaporator core. To repair this, the dash would have to be removed. You can imagine, the dash would be removed in pieces. I believe the crumbling dash has caused the hole in the evaporator core. Dodge should replace the dash and replace the evaporator core too. What's next? The heater core, electrical components, headlights on a dark back road somewhere? Dodge needs to take care of it's customers.
I purchased a 2000 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck in the summer of 2007. Since then it has developed large cracks in the dash and some of those cracks have LED to big holes. On the outside it looks like a cosmetic problem, but in the event of an accident, it could pose a safety risk with pieces of dash flying everywhere. This is not an isolated complaint, I have found hundreds of others with the same problem from chrysler/dodge products.
While driving done the road at 45 MPH, hood unexpectedly opened, blocking my view of the road and causing my windshield to smash. Immediate inspection of safety latch showed that it was not working correctly due to built up rust. Windshield and hood will need to be replaced, along with saftey latch. (all damaged parts are available for now).
As the truck was being driven down the road, approx. 40 MPH the hood of the truck flipped up and off. The hood was hanging off the side of the truck.
Cracked dashboard on passenger side. This seems to be a large complaint from many dodge owners for 2000 and 2001 dodge ram's. Although my dash has not yet "sunk in" as others have reported I fear that if the cracks develop further it could damage the wiring and connections below. The current cracks are right above the airbag on the passenger side.
The dashboard and front plate are disintegrating. Pieces are falling inside the dash body. It is so brittle just closing the doors causes additional cracks. To prevent a possible malfunction of the passenger airbags I shut it off.
The dashboard on my 2000 dodge ram 4x4 1500 truck has been cracking for quite some time. After researching the problem on the internet, I have observed that there are several people having the same problem. I too am now concerned that the dashboard breaking apart and potentially collapsing is a safety hazard and could affect the airbags and/or electrical systems of the truck possibly causing injury to any driver/occupants of the vehicle. I believe this is a problem that dodge should recall and repair.
