Had a piece come off as I was driving, and hit me in the eye while windows were open..called d/c once, no response..called today, and they said they would look at it for me..report from local tv showed this to be a major problem. The electrical components are failed.
Dashboard cracked and pieces fell out.
The dashboard on the 2001 dodge ram 1500 was falling apart.
Cracked dashboard bad and getting worse.
I own a 2001 dodge ram pick up. Approximately 2 years ago we discovered that the dashboard had cracked in numerous places. We had it replaced while the vehicle was still under warranty. We have discovered that the replaced dashboard is again cracking. I feel that these particular models are defective and I would like for the dashboard to be exchanged again without cost to me as a consumer. I do not want this dashboard caving in like others that have been reported with the same problems. I dearly love my truck and it's a shame that an item such as this could decide whether I buy from dodge in the future. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
On going problem with our 2001 dodge trucks complete front dash cracking and falling in on itself. I continue to use an epoxy and silicon to try to hold it together. Dodge and the dealership told us it was a cosmetic problem. No warranty
Large cracks in dash of truck becoming a safety hazard. Plastic dash and gauge bezel cracking badly. I have not found this issue on the 2000 or 2002 model. I have also spoken to other owners of this vehicle with the same year and cracking of the dash, suspect this to be a defect in manufacturing.
This complaint concerns the disintegration of the dashboard on the 2001 dodge ram pickup. My truck was only 4 yrs old when it started cracking. It is totally unacceptable for a auto manufacturer to produce something that falls apart so quickly and then not offer to replace it. I am also having problems with the left front speaker, probably due to the wiring being damaged with the breakage.
We seen on local 6 wkmg a story concerning dashboards cracking on dodge ram trucks. Well, we're one of the statistics. We own a 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab turbo diesel, with a cracked dashboard, or should I say many cracks! The speaker volume goes up and down with every whim, never knowing when it's going to happen. Could happen during a turn or maybe going over a bump. One of the cracks has invaded down to the light switch, which makes me very nervous wondering if my lights might go out some night while I'm driving. The incident date for us, is when we bought the truck as we bought it used and it continued to crack over time.
Two hours of highway travel 45-65 MPH. Traveling north on interstate 91, 1 mile south of exit 3 vermont @approximately 13:50 speed approximately 65 MPH. Hood unexpectedly flew up and back against the windshield blocking all field of view. Luckily, I was able to slow down and once off a bridge pulled over in the emergency lane. Damage to windshield, hood, hinges and grille. 3 other passengers in the vehicle but no one was hurt. Latched the hood down with rope and slowly returned to 336 knower rd westminster. Inspection of the hood latches showed both very rusty and the safety latch frozen. This appears to have failed. All equipment was original on the vehicle.
Cracking dash on my 2001 dodge ram truck.
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad cab, which is a nice truck. I started noticing a crack in the dash about a year after I got it. Since then it has cracked in several places, with pieces falling out. I removed the dash from the truck and ended up with about 20 pieces. Dodge or the dealership won't do anything. I will have to pay 200.00 dollars for a new dash in order to replace a defected one.
The dash- has cracks that run the length of the dash total of six the truck only has 29,000 miles and is garaged all the time. I feel this is a defect. The truck has never been abused in anyway before last week my truck was in excellent shape.
Dash cracked within a year of owning the truck. I asked when it was a small crack to be replaced. The service manager at landers in little rock, ar tried to say I had cut it. Now that the factory warranty is out the dash has become a mess cracked from end to end, side to side. In looking for a solution to my problem I have been to salvage yards and an independant who rebuilds and works on dodge trucks exclusively and all have said they have had an extreme run on 2001 dodge dashes as of the last 12 months.
