2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Vehicle speed control Problems

“Have had a cracked dashboard for quite some time now, I have filed a complaint before and could not get a resolution from chrysler/Dodge. My dashboard has cracked to pieces causing a safety hazard. Finally my electrical systems have started to malfunction due to the pieces of my fallen dashboard falling on electrical components, there was a small short/fire that caused my cruise control to stop working and my dash lights also. …”

The check engine light was on, the water temp was near the red zone, and the engine sound like bowling ball in a dryer. …”

“Dashboard begin cracking and finally in a couple days of weeks broke apart completely as I had been in a crash.I called the company they said the warranty had expired.I told them I have 1992 ford aerostar whose dashboard was completely .intact and that it was much older it had to be a structural defect. They offer to pay half which meant I had to pay 500.00 dollars, which I didn't have. I felt they should pay all of it. Also the airbag light is on and the RPM accelerate without me pushing the gas pedal.I took many times to the dealership and they said they would fix it but they never did.”

I tapped my brakes in an attempt to disengage the cruise control. This did not work. I then pushed the cruise control buttons on my steering wheel, in an attempt to turn off the cruise. This did not work either. …”
