2001 Dodge RAM Quad Cab Body and structure Problems

“My 2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 4x4 has entire dashboard cracking up and falling into the instrument area under the dash. This is exposing the light sensors, air bag controls and other safety features to harmful sun exposure. I see that several thousand costumers have had this same problem and neither the company or the government are doing anything to correct the problem.”

“In traffic going down the road at 65 MPH, the dashboard caved in. Loose pieces everywhere. I didn't know if this had affected the electronics or not at the time. I just had to pull over and cut through three lanes of traffic. Luckily so far, just some minor electrical problems here and there. I am scared this will affect the airbag system later on. Dodge says there is no recall on this. Very unfortunate, last Dodge I will ever own.”

“2001 Dodge ram 1500 noticed several cracks in the dashboard in 2008 brought it to the dealer, ultimately they could replace but I would have to pay for it. Chrysler corp. Agreed with dealer.now there are more I put caulk on them to keep the dash from eventually from falling in creating all kind of havoc I have read some of the horror stories in result of this defect of the dashboard.”

“The hood unexpectedly flew open and smashed the windshield of my 2001 Dodge ram 1500 truck! The front end of the truck is now destroyed and I have come to find out that this truck has already been recalled for this exact same issue from 1994-1999. Obviously it was not fixed after 1999 because I have located 9 other people besides myself who own 2001 models and who have had the exact same problem.”

“I am the original owner of a 2001 Dodge quad cab dashboard is almost completely gone from cracking. Had a piece come off as I was driving, and hit me in the eye while windows were open..called d/c once, no response..called today, and they said they would look at it for me..report from local tv showed this to be a major problem. The electrical components are failed.”
