“My Dodge RAM 2500's dash started showing small cracks within a few years of purchase. I ignored this until the cracks started spreading over the whole dash. I then taped over the cracks and put a dash rug over the dash for protection. I recently removed the rug, and was shocked to see that the cracks had become large pieces of dash material that were falling down under the dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10544850, filed 2013-09, 75,000 miles“My dash is falling apart. It has cracked into many sharp pieces and lost all of it's structural integrity. Since car seats should be placed in the front seat of this vehicle, the pieces that have completely broken away from the dash are hazardous to my child's health.”
NHTSA complaint #10744712, filed 2015-07, 125,000 miles“The dashboard of my 99 Dodge ram is completly shattered. It is so brittle that it crumbles when touched. I have had pieces break off just by turning on my defroster. Pieces have fallen off while going over a speed bump.”
NHTSA complaint #10935568, filed 2016-12, 245,000 miles“The steering in this vehicle is terrible when braking,the dashboard is craked and broken very bad in several places Dodge wants to do nothing about these problems.when I apply the brakes the vehicle pulls very hard,this is not an allignment I have had that done changed the rotors the whole 9 yards still the same problem.the dash started out as a little crack now it is broken in several places.this is ridiculous.I will never purchase another Dodge they dont stand behind there vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10425810, filed 2011-09, 60,000 miles“Driving over a speed bump under 5 MPH the dash board crumbled into several pieces. If this were to happen in a collision that shrapnel would be deadly. My truck only has 99800 miles on it. In excellent condition there is no reason for this to happen. There are thousands of complaints online about these dashboards just falling apart. It's a serious safety issue and Dodge needs to be made to recall them.”
