“I have a 2002 Dodge ram 1500 p/u truck. I'm aware that it's out of warranty. I plan to keep this truck until I die. The dashboard is completely damaged. I now have a dash cover over it. And it's seem to be falling in as well. Please consider replacing my dash since it's the wrong material on all 3rd gens were made out of polyvinyl chloride. As time passes they dry out and crack. Causing pieces to fall inside causing problems with the blower and electrical system. I plan to travel from san diego ca to chicago ill. …”
NHTSA complaint #11078845, filed 2018-03, 27,536 miles“I have 2002 Dodge ram 1500 with a cracked dash which is bad the cracks started out small and now there so many that the broken piece have started to fall through into the floor and down through the defrost .what these dashes are made of you would thing that they would not crack but has some of these pieces could become airborne if you have the windows down causing accident if it were to hit you in the face. I think there needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt from flying plastic.”
NHTSA complaint #10422344, filed 2011-08, 90,000 miles“Craked dash, sharp metal and sharp broken chunks of plastic that used to be a dashboard. Not safe to drive this way! The parts if available are exspensive, why is this not recalled replacing using better safer products.”
NHTSA complaint #11079867, filed 2018-03, 89,000 miles“Purchased 2002 Dodge ram used. At first service interval, rack and pinion boots were leaking, main seal was shot. Also had manifold leak, along with a steering problem that causes shaking at 40 MPH. Steering problem still remains, and there is a loud rattle that the dealership cannot find. This vehicle has been a nightmare, most recently, my fuel pump decided to quit working. Also, the interior trim, namely the hand grips on the driver and passenger door have been replaced numerous times, due to the cheap plastic that is used as a holding ring. Do not purchase this type of vehicle. …”
