Dash of truck has had multiple cracks for the last year; now, large chunks are breaking apart and falling in/out - now dashboard components are exposed to the sun & front portion of dash is loose and ready to break off also. Dealer says lots of trucks have this problem but they're not obligated to do anything about it. They recommend paying to replace w/large labor costs.
Extremely severe damage to dash, the entire structure of the dash in my vehicle is in jeopardy of collapse. I contacted daimler-chrysler on two occasions to which their reply was that there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation. The damage has continued forward from the top of the dash in over six points and includes the black trim around the dash itself. I have found others with the same situation and feel that a recall is necessary.

2001 dodge 1500 quad cab I called the daimler chrysler in marshall texas and they told me they have seen a few of the dashboards. I explained it was crumbling. He told me it wouldn't hurt anything as the air bags are bolted in he also stated it was out of warranty. I called the main customer 800 service line that tx dealer gave to me and once again I was told it was out of warranty and they didn't care who I contacted after I talked to them as it was out of warranty. I even told them I would call the better business bureau and they still didn't care. The dashboard has cracks running across the entire board. Will it fall? Will it cause an accident? I have pictures that I will be sending when I hear from you. *jb

Paint on the hood bubbled up and peeled off for no apparent reason I was informed by co-worker of a proble with the clearcoat dodge used on some of their vehicles.
Dash board cracked from heat. This is a three year old vehicle it has no businesss with a cracked dashboard. My windows are tinted dark and I use a sunvisor! I owned a kia, yes a kia, for 7 years and had no problems with the dash. I know about 6 other people with dodge ram 1500's with cracked dashboards from about 1999 to 2001. I called dodge they would not do anything and want $280 to replace the dash with another one that is not going to hold up to the heat! Obviously there is a problem and like the others reported here dodge has done nothing.
The dashboard behind the air bag on the passenger side has ruptured. The consumer took the vehicle back to the dealer and was told that it was due to wear and tear.

I have a 2001 dodge ram off road with 54000 miles on it and I've already had a new computer put in it, had the transmission rebuilt at 27000 miles because of the torque converter, and my dashboard is cracked all over the place from the heat. I've had nothing but trouble out of this truck and I will not buy another dodge again.
Consumer noticed dashboard's top started cracking.
Cracked instrument panel (dashboard).
The consumer noticed a deep groove cut into each front tire near the inside of the rim caused by the lower a frame contacting the tire when turning. The mechanical turn stops did not reach their mark before the tire reached the a frame. The consumer found the same problem in two other dodges of the same year. (the 2003 models had a different design) the consumer may do more hard turns around on field roads, but this may be a hidden problem waiting to blow out in low speed turns. *ak *scc
My company owns a 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck, VIN # [xxx]. While driving at 50 MPH the hood released, flew up and landed against the windshield. The hinges and windshield were broken. But for the grace of god my employee wasn't hurt. Chrysler isn't even interested in investigating what caused this as the truck is out of warranty.*jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The vehicle experienced a severe vibration, the dealer stated the engine mounts were loose and the engine may drop down.
Left rear of quad cab not welded completely. Quad cab door and drivers' side door do not close completely. You can hear them rattle when driving. This was reported to two separate dealers and the factory representative and chrysler corporation. They offered $500.00 for the defect. This is a safety defect as well as a value defect. We fear the drivers' side door may open, as well as the quad cab door, in an accident.
