I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with cracks in the dash around the area where the passenger airbag would deploy. In investigating repair options for this I have discovered a significant number of owners are experiencing the same problem and chrysler is ignoring this problem even though notified many times. It is so prevalent that in less that one hour I found 20 cases of the same exact form letter being sent to individuals who had notified chrysler. Somebody needs to jerk chrysler back into reality with a significant problem - when the airbag goes off , plastic dash shrapnel flying everywhere is not a good thing!

I have a 2001 dodge ram pick up truck with only 30,000 miles on it an just recently the dashboard starting cracking, small cracks at first but now progressed to a point where it may be unsafe to drive.
2001 dodge ram dashboard caved in. Have no dash left.
I own a 2001 dodge ram that the top of the dashboard is cracking badly. I have heard of several others with the same problem. I asked my local dealer and they said that dodge would not repair as a recall. Also a new dashboard is around $330.00. I have also heard that it will get worse and collapse. If there are several thousand complaints why won't they recall them?
Dash is cracking on passenger side of vehicle. It starts from the window down to the airbag. This is a problem most 2001 rams are having and it is a safety issue.
The dashboard on our 2001 dodge 1500 truck cracked. I have never bought a vehicle brand new and had the dashboard crack. The truck is well taken care of. I know someone else who bought a used 1999 dodge 1500 and the dashboard on that truck was terrible. There was a huge hole in it. I would worry about buying another dodge because of this issue.
My 2001 dodge dash board cracked and collapsed into a 4 by 8 inch hole. I have since been having problems with my headlights.
I am repeat dodge customer. However, I have recently become concerned about my dodge ram 1500. The dashboard has cracked and is now currently falling through in several laces. Immediately above the steering column a large chunk of about six inches wide and 8 inches long fell through the dashboard, through the electrical wiring and onto the accelerator pedal. This sharp piece could have caused an injury had I not been wearing work boots. As my daughters have on occasion driven this vehicle I have become concerned for their safety due to the potential of electrical wiring damage and/or airbag deployment problems. I urge someone to push for a recall before sharp items disfigured someone in an accident or a fire is initiated due to nicked wires. My confidence in dodge has truly diminished due to their disregard nd unconcern on this matter.

I bought a new dodge ram 1500 truck in 2000. The truck has app. 60,000 miles,well cared for, and looks new. About a month ago I noticed a huge crack in dashboard on top of passenger air bag.now the crack has spread all over to th driver side. Large parts of dashboard are falling down inside leaving huge holes above the electrical and the air bags.I am worried about the air bags going off and electrical falure. This is not a cosmetic issue, it is a safty issue.I contacted crysler and they said since I was the original owner and had service on the truck at my local dodge dealer they would look at the problem at my expense, and if they found that it wasn't my fault they would pay for half of the parts and labor to repair.I have paid for this truck once and I'm not paying for it again, not even half.this is a safty issue and a defect by dodge and needs to be replaced by dodge ,not the customer.this should be a recall !

After reading this link: http://www.local6.com/news/13227601/detail. Html I realized that I was not alone in dealing with problems with the dashboard. At 11:45 am may 15, 2007, I contacted daimler-chrysler's consumer line. I was told that I would have to pay a dodge dealership between $50 and $60 just to have my dash looked at, and then if a defect of materials was determined, daimler-chrysler would offer assistance in having the dash replaced. If there was a manufacturing defect, I feel it should be the responsibility of the manufacturer to correct any such defects. As of right now, I personally have yet to experience any safety issues regarding this problem. But after reading the article I linked earlier, it has become a concern.
