The dashboard on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 pickup is cracked in multiple places and some of the grill pieces that cover the defroster ducts have fallen into the ducts. The truck is only 5 years old and I am the only owner. I have friends that have fords and chevy's from the same year or earlier and their dashboard isn't cracking in such a way.

2002 dodge ram quad cab dash board is cracked/split in 5 or more places. In other words the dash is deteriorating. The material is apparently very brittle. Dodge told me it would cost $1500 to replace it with the same dash that would crack again in 5 years. I called dodge and was told there were no reported problems and they would not consider any help in replacement or admit a design flaw. Other places are reporting the entire dash is falling in and effecting the electrical system operation.

The dashboard in my 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab is cracking. I have heard that this is a known problem in many dodge trucks and that daimler chrysler is aware of this and may or may not issue a recall. Chrysler needs to replace these dashboards before major mechanical or electrical problems occur. The crack is getting bigger all the time and others are starting.
I own a 2002 dodge ram truck that has 63,000 miles and the dash is cracking all around in different spots. I have read on many different web sites that my truck is not the only one having the same problem.

Complete failure of dodge ram 2002 pu dash. The dash has cracked in multiple places (more than 20) and has disintegrated. The truck has not been parked in excessively hot or dry climates.
2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The dash on the passenger side developed a total of four seperate cracks within a 6 week time frame. The cracks run from the windshield in the top section down into the section that contains the passenger side airbag. 3 of the cracks are in the top section while the fourth one is in the airbag section of the dash.
Dashboard is cracking in several places from front to back for unknown reason. No chemicals used on dash. Believe this may cause pass. Side airbag from deploying or may cause pieces of the dash to turn into projectiles if airbag deploys.
Purchased 2002 dodge ram used. At first service interval, rack and pinion boots were leaking, main seal was shot. Also had manifold leak, along with a steering problem that causes shaking at 40 MPH. Steering problem still remains, and there is a loud rattle that the dealership cannot find. This vehicle has been a nightmare, most recently, my fuel pump decided to quit working. Also, the interior trim, namely the hand grips on the driver and passenger door have been replaced numerous times, due to the cheap plastic that is used as a holding ring. Do not purchase this type of vehicle. Have had nothing but headaches with the truck, from the simple things, to the expensive things...was just told that my head gaskets are shot as well, have spent thousands on this truck, with no returns, do not get this year/model of ram 1500.
The dashboard of my 2002 dodge ram 1500 has several large cracks and parts are starting to brake away. I feel that this could cause harm to me or my passengers if involved in an accident. I feel that it is very unsafe due to sharp hard plastic parts of the dash that could do serious harm. I also feel that this could affect the defrost duct and cause the defroster to not work properly.
The main dash in my 2002 dodge ram is cracked just above the passenger side airbag. Heard that other dodge owners had the same problem and got it fixed under warranty from the dealership.
Dashboard is cracking and falling in exposing electrical components to sunlight and intense heat. The problem is getting worse as time goes on.
I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab truck. The dashboard started cracking approximately 2 years ago. There are five cracks in the dashboard now. I thought it was just my vehicle. However, I have heard several other dodge ram owners having the same problem.

I have a 2002 dodge ram that has 5 cracks in the dashboard. 4 of the cracks go from the window to the defroster vents ,and one goes from the side defroster vent to the glove box. At this time there have been no repairs or recalls to correct this problem.
I own a 20 02 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. I am writing to inform you that the dashboard has cracked into many pieces. The truck was not in a wreck. I am one of quite a few people with the same problem. If dodge will not correct the problem of poor equipment, then at least don't charge 1500.00 to replace it. Thanks for you time.
Dashboard has started to crack, about 6 inches and growing.
I own a 2002 dodge ram 2500 and for several years now, the dashboard has been cracked and is over time caving in. I brought this to the attention of boniface hiers dodge in merritt island, fl and they said it was not under warranty and therefore would be my expense if I wanted it replaced. Recently, I have experienced problems with my lights and believe it may be caused by the dashboard issue. Our local news channel is running a story on this issue right now (www.local6.com, click on problem solvers)and has located several people throughout central florida that are having similar problems. I did not realize this was such a popular issue and I definitely feel something should be done to repair this problem. Some of the other owners are saying that the dashboard is causing problems with wiring and could cause headlights to fail. That is a huge safety issue and I would think this would need to be fixed before any fatalities occur. I am embarrassed of the way the interior of my truck currently looks. I try to take good care of my truck as I expect to own it for several more years and vehicle appearance is important to me. While I thought this problem was simply cosmetic, I was embarrassed but not compelled to push the issue with dodge. Now that I realize this could be a safety issue and my life or my husbands life could be in danger, I am very concerned. I have pictures I would be happy to forward to you if they will assist in your review of my case. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
Dodge 2002 ram quad cab dash board cracking and collapsing.
Forward plastic dashboard failure. Dash cracked and broke in about five places.
Dt: the drivers side assist handle that was used to get into vehicle came off in the consumers hand and he fell out of truck on his back. The consumer was not hurt. The consumer was concerned about his grandmother using the one on the passenger side to help her get in. The dealer replaced them all the time.
I own a 2002 dodge 1500 4x4 quad cab pickup & the front doors gasket seals are leaking at higher speeds. It get so bad that the door start to shake at the hinge side of door. I spoke with dodge about this; I was told this is not the only unit doing this, that it was a simple fix of re-bending the hinges at a body shop. They explained that if this was reported in the frist 12 months or 12,000 miles it would have been covered under warrianty. The truck has 28,040 miles on it now still under the 30,000 mile warrianty. I beleive this to be a problem inherit to the truck design.
Rack & pinion steering leaks and very hard to turn when vehicle is cold, has been replaced twice and still a problem, also severe corrosion of front bumper, is ordered and will be replaced.
