2001 dodge 3500 pickup, bought used 2 years ago with one small crack in the dash cover. Now the cover has disintegrated over the steering wheel leaving a large hole in the cover. There has been no accident yet but there is the potential if left as it is for damage to wiring/components behind the dash that were not meant to be exposed. An internet search reveals many others with the same complaint.
2001 dodge ram 3500 dash cracking around passenger airbag. Seems to be a widespread problem with dodges.
I have a 2001 dodge 3500 laramie slt. The dash is broke all to pieces. I have researched and this is a problem with alot of dodge vehicles in certain years. I am a 49 year old blind in one eye male. I have to wear glasses as pieces of the dash breaks off and flies in the air in my truck. I would like to keep my other eye in working order as I am disabled and can not afford to fix the dash or purchase another vehicle. It causes my windows to fog and I can not get them unfogged as to drive in the cold. I can not see out the windows at night especially with on coming head lights. This is a safety hazard to me as well as other drivers. This is a matter that you should really address. It is time that you make a stand for the millions of people who have this problem and make dodge stand behind their product. You say you will not do a recall because it is not a safety hazard well I am here to tell you to take another look at this situation. Thank you for your input and help with this matter not only for myself but, the rest of america that lives with this problem. Look around and read the millions of complaints where this is concerned.
The dashboard cracks and falls apart leaving sharp areas that can cut open someone's forehead in a crash.
I have a 2001 3500 dodge ram truck, about a month ago I took my truck in to the front aligned and they found that the frame where the steering box is the frame has cracked in it on both side of the frame, causing the steering box to have play it. They said they could not realigned the front end, that the frame needs to be welded and it was going to cost me 2,500.00 . So I park the truck because it is unsafe to drive. The other day I went to move the truck and the steering box fell off the frame, and the crack in the frame on the truck got bigger. I have to strap the steering box to the frame to get it moved we I called dodge about if there was any recalls on the frame they said no, they ask me how many miles were on the truck and I said what does that have any thing do with it. At this point the truck is unsafe to drive and I 'm still paying the load on it. I need some help on what to do at this point. I feel dodge should repair it, since on the newer truck they reinforced the frame where the steering box is on the frame. If I continue to drive the truck and the frame cracks in half it will cause me to crash, I'll loose my steering. I need help
2001 dodge ram 3500, dash board has completely cracked apart with large section cracked out. It began with a crack extending from the defroster vent and encompassed the whole dash in a matter of weeks. Dodge has refused to acknowledged the problem even though it is wide spread. This is a safety issue particularly if an air bag deployment happened the shards from this dash are like a razor.
Entire right side of the dash has cracked and broken away exposing the airbag and other wiring to sun light. I am concerned that the air bag will deteriote or malfunction. Can not place any thing on the dask, it falls thru the dash and is lost forever.

I have a 2001 dodge 3500 and a 2002 dodge 1500 both of them have extremely bad cracks in the dash. The 3500's dash is the worst of the two it is starting to cave in my fuel level gauge and A/C doesn't work because of the pressure on the connectors. It continues to get worst and dodge should be held accountable for this.
