Dashboard cracking and holes are starting to form. Can be dangerous if water would get under the dash by the electrical systems.
The dash board of my 2001 dodge ram 1500 truck started to crack about 3 yrs ago and I've been trying to find another ever since. Dodge has been on back order since my first call in sept 2006. Every 01 dodge I've seen has a cracked dash board covered with a dash carpet/cover. This needs to be resolved! Dodge is/was a great company I thought. I will be taking business else where if I can't get this issue resolved.
The dashboard of my 2001 dodge ram 1500 and my brother's 2001 dodge ram 1500 as well have severe dashboard cracks. The cracks have gotten so bad that there are now large holes in the dash and shards of jagged plastic covering my entire dashboard. I thought this was a local problem then I found that there are hundreds of other complaints as well.
2001 ram 1500 sport. About a year and a half ago I noticed a crack on the top of the dashboard above the passenger side air bags closer to the windshield. I was like '!@#$% I take very good care of the truck, I do not use oils on it since my eyes get irritated by it. At times I can actually hear something cracking in the dashboard, I look but don't see any new cracks visible. Although now my dash is cracked very bad. It's spreading and is ridiculous. The truck looks new, but you get in it and see the big eye soar on the dashboard. I was unaware of being able to complain about it figuring it was a fluke. But now I have learned there are alot of dodge owners with the same or worse issue. How about a new dash cover or something. Please stand behind the products you build. This is why so many americans buy foreign! Help us help you! I won't buy another dodge if you don't stand behind the ?!@#$% you sell! I'll buy toyota!
The dash board on my 2001 dodge quadcab pickup truck 1500 is severely cracked. This is not the normal cracking that you may expect to see through normal wear and tear. It is a defect in the equipment. Large gaping holes all over the dash. If the un-attached cracked sections were removed there would be no dash at all.
2001 dodge ram 1500 50,000 miles bought new. Dash board cracking above airbag from windshield to air bag. I called a dealer about it and they said there was no recall that was the end of it. Now I see others are having the same problem. Buying dash cap.
Dash board cap was cracking, then collapsing, and now has fallen in.

2001 dodge ram 1500 truck crack dashboard last 5 years it crack more and more and the dealer want $1300.00 to fix it if you look on site crackdashboards u fine the dodge has a list on them.
We bought the truck new it's in excellent condition except the dash, it is falling apart I have never seen a dash that looked this bad . I think it is probably dangerous! It got a small crack about 2 years after we bought it and now its awful and has been for a long time . I started looking for a replacement dash and ran across complaints in several states that had even had it on the news.
The dash of my vehicle began to crack approximately one year ago, first there was a single crack beginning closest to the windshield in front of the passenger seat and crossing the dash ending in the center of the dash. Since then several other cracks have surfaced that are beginning to affect the defrost, heating/AC and may begin to affect the air bog operation and possible the under dash wiring. Multiple other reports identify that the manufacturer refuses to correct the problem.

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 1500. The contact drove the vehicle to a local repair shop for a routine tire rotation. The mechanic informed her that the front driver's and passenger side tires were cut. The tires were rotated and she continued driving the vehicle. All four tires were rotated during two routine inspections, but, after the last rotation, the mechanic informed her that the "a" frame bolt was rubbing the tires and puncturing the front tires. The manufacturer stated that there were no complaints regarding the "a" frame bolt and to call the dealer. The dealer has not been notified. The current mileage was 70,000 and failure mileage was 35,000.
Purchased the truck used, but after reviewing websites and forums realize that this is an issue and I would like to be counted in the number of complaints of cracks across the dash board. Approximately 20 inches long across the top instrument panel side of the dash.

We have a2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup and the dash has split/cracked/broke on the passenger side so bad that it has to be replaced.
I purchased a 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup ext. Cab/short bed. Like most other dodge ram owners of that year, my dash is completely falling apart. There are cracks all over it and two large holes have caved in on the dash. I have another hole getting ready to cave in on the passenger side. I have noticed on many websites that this is a known issue with the 1996-2001 dodge ram trucks and dodge will do nothing about it because it isn't a "recall issue".
Dash board cracked and fell into bottom of dash by radio heater core etc.
I have a 2001 dodge 1500 pickup with a dashboard that is breaking apart and I'm concern with the sharp edges in the cab and how effective my airbag will be if deployed.
Major cracks appeared on the passengers side dashboard. There are two significant crack in the dash that extended within one day. Yesterday no crack in dash, today two major ones. Concerned that the damage will not cease and may crack in other areas possibly exposing electrical components or become unsafe for pass agers where there are sharp shards.
My dash is cracking to pieces; falling apart. The inside of the dash is being exposed to the elements and I fear that the sun or the broken pieces of plastic will damage the wiring.
Dodge ram truck, 2001 dash has cracked so bad that there is almost no dash left on top.
Hello: this complaint deals with the cracking dashboard on the 2001 dodge ram 1500 slt. The cracks really started and became noticeable when the truck had 30,000 miles on it. Now there are several large cracks and a large hole in the dash. This truck is not used offroad.... It mostly sits. Right now it only has 42,000 miles on it. I have checked on the internet and found this is not an unusual problem.... Many owners have this problem. I have contacted the main dodge website....twice.... They act like this is no problem and they have not heard of such issues. I checked my local dodge dealership.... They way they talked.... They were aware of the issue. I know there is not a lot they can do.... The help will have to come from headquarters. To me.... Dodge should take care of this problem. Especially if they get bailout money basically from me and other taxpayers. Thank you for your time and help. God bless.....
I bought my 2001 dodge ram 1500 nov 2004, everything on my dash was fine. I went on a detachment for two weeks and when I got back I noticed a small crack in the middle of my dash. I went to the dodge dealer and they said there was nothing that they could do. So I started looking for a new one and no one sold it online except for in the junkyards which most of them were worse then mine. I went on cruise at the end of 2005. My father had my truck while I was gone. When I had returned not only did the crack get bigger but a hole grew right in the middle of my dash. My dash is in two pieces now and is a hazard to my child and myself. I can't turn my airbag on the passenger side in fear that it will kill my passengers if I get into an accident.
The dash board on my truck started to crack and pieces have fallen down into the electrical wiring. This is a dangerous situation since wires could be shorted and in an accident sharp pieces of plastic could fly inside the cabin injuring passengers. Dodge should indicate a work order to replace the damaged dashes.
