“My 2001 Dodge quad cab ram 1500 truck dash has within the last 6 months nearly collapsed from cracking and falling apart. It seems that this may interfere with the airbag deployment on the passenger side. I have taken very good care of my vehicle. It has almost 100k miles on it and yet on the outside it looks nearly new. I am presently looking at how I can replace this dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10167485, filed 2006-09, 98,000 miles“My dash cracked just recently,from the windshield across right above passenger air bag. I see this has been an ongoing problem with this year of truck. The rest of the truck is in great shape, still looks new, except for the dash and I always use a sunshade. Should be a recall.....”
NHTSA complaint #10175712, filed 2006-12, 194,000 miles“I drive a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 4x2 quad cab. I am a victim of the famous cracked dash as well. At around 38,000 miles I started to notice a small crack that went about 2 inches or so from the right screw (pass side) at the defrost vent for the windshield. I took it to the dealer thinking that my extended warranty would take care of it, not realizing that only the original warranty takes care of trim work, the extended warranty will not cover the work , according to the dealer, metro Dodge in snellville, ga. …”
NHTSA complaint #10188797, filed 2007-04, 38,000 miles“I have the same common problem with the dashboard being cracked,I regularly use armorall so as to keep the dashboard from fading and cracking,but to no avail.”
NHTSA complaint #10168321, filed 2006-09, 34,000 miles“2001 Dodge ram 1500. Dash is disenegrated. Started with a small crack and dash is all splintered up. When dash caves in, could this cause a fire with shorting out the wires? Nothing was done by dealer and will not accept responsibility of a defected part. Dodge offered no reason as to why this is happening on the trucks from early on up until approxamately the 2001 year.”
