“The dashboard on my 2001 Dodge RAM 2500 began to crack, now there are several cracks in the dash. This vehicle is in a heated garage most of the time and the windows are open when in the garage during the summer and winter. The vehicle is well cared for and clean, I see no reason for this to have occurred. There are several cracks now across the dashboard on the top part.”
NHTSA complaint #10415852, filed 2011-07, 86,500 miles“Dash board cracked leading to a crack in my windshield. I went out to my truck on the 4th of july and found that my windshield had a crack in it, upon further inspection I found that the dashboard was cracked in about 4 places. I have recently found a number of reports on the internet about dashboard failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10198554, filed 2007-08, 73,800 miles“I was driving home when I ran into some bumpy roads and I looked at my passenger side airbag control module in the dash and it was gone. The whole inner dash was broke loose and plastic parts were falling onto the floorboard. I've e-mailed Dodge and haven't received anything back from them yet. The dealership says it could be from $1000 to $7000 to fix. It had a few cracks in it before but now it seams to be just falling to pieces. I believe this could cause my airbags to deploy at any minute and this is a safety issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10743851, filed 2015-07, 98,000 miles“As 2nd owner for past 12 yrs vehicle was like new, about 3yrs ago it developed a crack in the dashboard from the windshield to glove box door and since has cracked in 2 other areas from windshield to front! This vehicle sits under cover of an rv shelter with my rv 90% of it's existence! I just recently found out that daimler-chrysler has refused any recall to to correct this faulty product for thousands owners experiencing this problem! I.cannot believe the government has not made chrysler responsible for replacing this inferior product as they have the air bags. …”
NHTSA complaint #10966674, filed 2017-03, 81,000 miles“Top of dash cracked so bad pieces are falling out. If we were to get into a head on collision, these pieces of broken plastic would turn into shrapnel. If I knew about this site sooner I would of certainly brought it to your attention. I'm not alone in this problem, or that it was caused by the sun, armoral, etc. Compiled over 1,500 other people on Dodge ram forums, car complaints, and other such internet sites with the same problem, and no recall from Dodge to fix this problem.”
