I have a 2001 dodge ram 2500, and my dash is falling in. My dash started cracking several months ago and has recently started falling to pieces which are being lost inside the dash. When I googled a replacement dash I found countless others who are having the exact same problem. Local 6 news out of florida did a story on this problem and even has a report of the falling debris cutting into the wiring causing the headlights to turn off while driving at night. I have not contacted dodge directly. I did go to the dealership and all they offered was to sell me a new dash at appx. $500. When I googled this problem, several of the people who had complained to dodge were given the same form letter telling them in short that this was not a common problem resulting in a recall and that there was nothing that they could do. I am only one of several people across the country who are looking for dodge to correct a problem they have given us that is not only cosmetic. I find it hard to believe this is being overlooked and viewed as cosmetic. There is a safety issue of broken pieces of dash board falling in and cutting wires, exposed jagged edges of plastic, brittle plastic parts flying around in the cab of the truck during the event of an accident, and also pieces being propelled at the driver and all passengers in the event of an air bag deployment. We are looking for dodge to rectify this problem and admit that there is an issue with them purchasing sub-par materials.

Dt: the contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 2500 diesel engine. The vehicle acted as if it was running out of fuel, but not all the time. If the temperature range was over 100 degrees then this was when the problem occurred. The problem was intermittent. The engine temperature was about 190-195 degrees that did not go up. The vehicle stalled because of this problem. Consumer had this problem for three years, and currently the vehicle ha 93,000 miles on it. Also, had an extended warranty which ran out the july 19, 2005. The vehicle was taken to dealer for service four to five times four of those times it was the same problem, and each time they thought they corrected the problem, but they have not been able to do so. On august 4, 2005 consumer went to a dealership, not a dodge dealership, two vehicles there had same problem as consumer's vehicle. Dealership has not been able to correct problem. Mechanic changed the transmission sensor, and the fuel pump, and that still had not solved the problem. *ak

My 2001 dodge ram started stalling out so I called for an appointment to have the censor checked out. They said that wasn't it - it was the transmission itself and they would have to drop the pan, that was fine until they told me there was at least a 1/2 inch of shavings in the pan and that they had never seen that amount in a newer truck- especially with my milage being so low. This sets off an alarm that this is a factory defect. I contacted the manager and he was suppose to get back to me-which he hasn't as of yet...surprise. Oh yes, in order to fix this because the warranty had run out 2000 miles prior it would cost me $5,395.14. (now being disable this is sure a boost to me) and that isn't even checking out the 4 wheel drive which it has bound to effect also. The warrenty was for 36000 miles and I have 39000 on it now. It has cost me 200.00 to find this out and also the service manager said because I didn't use their services for oil changes and transmission checks he would probably not get as much help for me and in the contract it said as long as I used a license facility it would be covered and I used jiffy lube. I think this is wrong-they are just about saying for not using our facility you are going to be punished and not get the help you need. I am guessing on the date of purchase.

When you start the motor and put it in drive the tack winds out and the transmission slips real bad and when it does grab the motor stalls I have taken it to the dealer three times and the sad truth is they sold me a lemon is there any chance for a refund. This was a special order vehicle I had to wait three months for this. I paid $35000 for a lemon can you help me?
