1999 dodge ram 1500 dashboard cracking and falling apart like thousands of others all over the states. Will you please do something to pressure a recall. Please?

The dashboard in my 1999 dodge ram 1500 developed a small crack about a year and a half ago and has recently spread into a major busted up dash. Also, all the other interior plastic components must be made out of the same material as the dash and are just as brittle.

My air bag light comes on and off about once a week, caller dealer they told me it wasn't covered. However I saw a recall notice on-line.

I have a 1999 dodge ram 1500 and the dash is literally falling apart. I have talked to other owners of the same vehicle with the same problem and have been told that the manufacturer will not fix the problem. I think this is very irresponsible on the part of the dodge and not to mention a safety issue. I have had to shut off my passenger side airbag because im afraid that I could be injured by flying debris if I were involved in an accident.

My 99 dodge ram pickup has less than 70,000 miles and while driving it today a brake line ruptured, upon looking at the line, it appears to be of steel and is a mass of rust. Luckily no accident resulted, but I wonder if this has been a problem and if there is a safety recall, or should be. Thanks, dick carleton.

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram pickup. In june of 2008, the contact attempted to fasten the seat belt, but it would not latch or retract. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the seat belt and the latch system needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the seat belt could be repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 01v119000 (seat belts:front:retractor). The current mileage was 99,000 and failure mileage was 95,000. Updated 12/5/08 *cn updated 12/09/08.

My 1999 dodge ram 1500 pickup has developed a large crack on the dashboard. I called dodge and they said it was not a defective part and will do nothing to repair.

Filed Mar 8, 2008 · Brakes · 36,000 miles · MI

I have a dodge ram 2500 with ABS. This system quit working around 36,000 miles. It pulls hard when you brake or kicks your foot off and will not stop. We have spent over $2,000.00 trying to fix the problem since the warranty was not honored and they would not acknowledge a recall. They serviced it several times starting with the most expensive, the module, over $700.00, then the sensors another $600.00, then they said we had the wrong tires and they were the problem, another $700.00 (a non issue as tires have nothing to do with brakes), then there were the wheel sensors and turned drums another $400.00. Plus the fact the oil gasket got sucked into the manifold leaving only 2 quarts of oil (another problem entirely). Way too much money to spend on brakes you still have to use being disconnected so the work properly. Unsafe to use if ABS is reconnected. It will not stop if you need to.
