The dashboard in my 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 has all but fallen completely out of the truck... it started as a small crack, and now has sharp edges, and any time I have a passenger I feel as though im putting their life in danger in the case of an accident occurring... the dash has a hole in it almost a foot long in it, and all the edges are extremely sharp... you can tell the plastic is defectively fragile... there are numerous Dodge owners from Ram 1500's up to 3500's all complaining about the same thing. This is a problem that defiantly needs to be looked into. Thanks.

Cup holder won't hold cups sufficiently. Turning corners causes cups with full contents to flip out of the holder without very little gravitational force. If an operator tries to catch the cup a moment occurs where the operator is not in complete command of the vehicle. This could and may have already led to accidents.

This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the Dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then Dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to Dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! the engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.
