My 2001 dodge ram dashboard is falling apart. Truck is immaculate but my dash looks like a roadmap. Cracks start at the defrost vents and continue up dash meeting each other in places. I know 9 people that own rams in my area and all 9 have cracked dashboards. This is a huge problem and there should be a recall. I love dodge but if they do not stand behind there product and fix what needs to be fixed they will lose me as a consumer forever.
Dash falling apart on my 2001 dodge ram 1500, pieces falling into the dash area causing electrical issues.
I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500. The dashboard is literally crumbling away. I spoke with the dealer and they admitted to a known issue with the manufacture of the dash component. Parts are not currently available due to high replacement demand. Dodge is selectively covering repairs or replacement. When I contacted dodge customer affairs they denied there was a problem and refused to effect any repair or replacement.
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 and my dashboard is severely cracking. It is getting progressively worse and is now starting to fall apart. Without having to research very long on the internet I have found thousands of the same issue with the same vehicle leading me to believe that this condition should be under a mass recall. Once the dash begins to fall apart wiring begins to melt causing lights and instruments to cease working or malfunction putting everyone at risk. This is also a fire hazard for everyone in the vehicle. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle any longer given its current condition and would like to see this taken care of by dodge.
My dodge ram 1500 dash has cracked in numerous places. I understand this has been a common problem. This happened numerous months ago.

Dashboard cracking and falling apart has LED to electrical malfunctions. The main one is that when switching from dim to bright lights during night driving, the headlights go out completely.

Cracked dashboard.
I bought my 2001 dodge ram 1500 brand new. Approximately two years ago, I started noticing hairline cracks on my dashboard. Fast forward to 2008, and now I have a gaping crack on my dashboard with multiple cracks all over my dashboard. I have done research on this problem, and it seems to be a common problem not to mention a safety problem. Luckily I have not had an accident, but I would hate to think what a sharp piece of hard plastic could do in an accident. This is clearly a manufacturer issue. What else can we, the public, do?
The dashboard on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck has cracked and I believe may be affecting my control panel (odometer and speedometer). I went to drive my truck one afternoon and the whole control panel wasn't working. I also have some kind of fumes coming from my vents whenever I turn on the air conditioning, heat or defrost which may be related to the dashboard also. My defrost doesn't work at all due to the cracks in the dashboard because the air isn't going where it is supposed to go.
2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4. I have several long cracks on dashboard. Also 2 areas maybe 5 inches in diameter have fallen into dash they had to be glued back in place but new cracks appear every week.. Truck has 90k but this problem started around 50k. I had pulled super glue in crack to stop them from spreading but no luck there.

Dash started cracking about four years ago with a mileage of 55000. Dash was replaced at owners expense two years ago when dash had colapsed. One year later the dash began to crack once again and I learned of many other poeple with the same problem. I was reluctant to spen 1000 dollars to replace it again. Since then the dash has colapsed again but this time spall peices cut some wires under the dash causing the headlights not to work. This is an extreme safety issue and dont know what would have happened had I been on the highway doing 65-70 MPH when the lights went out. Reading the number of complaints I feel the dash is defective and a safety concern. Chrysler shoud recall vehicles to correct problem.
Dash started with a small crack and has now cracked like a spider web all over, with no reason why this happened.
Dashboard cracking and falling apart on both my '01 and '97 dodge ram 1500 trucks.
Unbelievable problem to have on a truck that has been so pampered. Rarely driven on less than paved roads, maintained religiously, immaculate interior. Imagine my shock to discover several huge cracks in the dash! One starts at the top to the left of the steering wheel and runs all the way to the windshield, and the other intersects across. I have not yet taken it to the dealership for consideration, but after reading these posts I'm not holding out much hope for a reasonable resolution. What a ginormous piece of crap.
The dashboard has fallen apart piece by piece. Wires are now dangerously exposed and the broken pieces could turn into dangerous, sharp flying debris in the event of an accident.
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a badly cracked dashboard. A few holes are in the middle of the dashboard and the cracks splinter all the way down to the passenger airbag. I am afraid for anyone who rides in my vehicle.
The dash in my 2001 dodge ram 1500 started cracking about 3-4 months after purchase. Right now there is little left of the top of my dash. I have a couple friends that own or did own the same truck and had the same problem,when it started cracking I thought for sure there would be a recall but to my knowledge there wasn't. I've tried writing letters but no response.
