The dash on my truck is cracked into small pieces that are very dangerous. The pieces are sharp because they are broke into little triangles. The pointed ends will injure or kill someone during a crash! Also the airbag light is on and I can't get it repaired because the dash has to be removed and it is in little pieces. This means that because of this dash I don't have an airbag! I called dodge(along with everyone else) and they pretty much told me they didn't care. I asked them if my truck was safe to drive and he said "no".
2003 Dodge RAM 2500 airbags complaints

The dash has cracked into multiple razor sharp spintered sections. In the event of a frontal crash, with air bags deployed, its possible these spintered sections will cause severe facial and bodily trauma to any passengers in the vehicle.
All dodge ram from 2000-2005 have dash problems. They break and fall apart. They cost around $1500-1800 to get them replaced. They don't tell you when you buy it. So why does the federal safety agency not do anything about it. If you have wreck and the airbags deploy, there are sharp edges in between you and the bags. They will cut your face, arms, or worse kill you. Is it going to take innocent people getting murdered by dodge's negligence for somebody to do something. They are defective. Make dodge recall the dash and install a new safer one. I do not want people to be killed, including myself and family.

I own a 2003 dodge ram 2500 pick-up. Sitting at a stop light and the dashboard popped and cracked right in front of me. I know this doesn't sound like a safety recall issue but if you look at it this way it does. The vehicle is equipped with a passenger side airbag. When the dashboard cracks and falls apart it leaves jagged edges which may be sent into the passengers face in the event of a front end collision with airbag deployment.
Upper dash panel began cracking/crumbling just after warranty period expired. (36000 miles) upper dash panel now (at 50,000 miles) completely cracked with large, sharp edges facing driver and passenger across entire upper panel including area over passenger airbag.
After striking a ditch and a concrete barrier air bags did not deploy. The seat belt did not hold, and the consumer struck his head on dashboard.
The brake pedal went to the floor when the brake was applied. *nlm *ts also the air bags failed to deploy. *jb the air condition was inoperative.
