Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The spare tire is located under the car and held up with a steel cable via a winch hoist. Over time the steel cable sheered off so at one point recently I lost the spare tire while driving and I have not noticed it. This is a safety problem as it may have damaged a vehicle following me. I certainly don't want to be driving behind another pickup truck and suddenly its spare tire falls out from underneath it. Attached is a photo of the spare tire winch hoist showing the sheered steel cable. …”
NHTSA complaint #11165374, filed 2019-01, 287,000 miles“I have a 2000 Dodge ram pickup and the dash board has started to crack. The cracks go across the entire dashboard and I am afraid the passenger airbag is going to become dislodged because of the cracks. I have the airbag deactivated because of this issue. I contacted the dealer and was basically told tough luck there is no recall and its $210.00 for a replacement part”
NHTSA complaint #10201262, filed 2007-08, 45,000 miles“The dash board started cracking roughly 4 to 5 years after purchase. I purchased new in 2000. It continued to crack and fall apart as time went on. I had to remove the dash board in order to replace the heating core. During that repair it simply, completely crack and broke apart. In order to get the dash board back in the truck, I had to glue it together using aluminum sheet metal under the dash in order to have something solid to glue the pieces back together with. I never saw anything like it in all my life. …”
NHTSA complaint #10735906, filed 2015-07, 85,000 miles“The dash is cracked in numerous places near the defroster on my 2000 Dodge RAM 1500 4x4. I was told this may interfere with airbag deployment in the event of an accident. I am just concerned about this because it appears that many other Dodge ram owners have similar problems with their dash and it appears to be a common defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10152972, filed 2006-03, 54,000 miles“Like thousands of other Dodge ram owners, I have a collapsed dashboard in my 2000 model ram. The truck is in absolute perfect shape with only 45,000 miles... Except for the shards of plastic that cut my wrist when I was retrieving a paper off the dashboard. I sure never thought I would be injured while sitting in a stationary truck in my driveway. Surely it's not a safe situation to have a collapsed dashboard over so many electrical wires and air bags.”
