Dash started chipping away several years ago but now it is literally going to fall in my lap. It is definitely a safety issue and should have been a recall. After doing research it sure is something that was a well known issue. This is a truck that I intend on keeping forever so it was an investment and I trusted the company but they didn't do a recall.

Dash is cracking and falling apart for no reason. Getting worse as time goes on.

2001 Dodge Ram 1500 bought new, I'm original owner, after owning 1 year dash started cracking, I eventually called Chrysler and complained, they said it was a sun problem after 3 years I called again and complained after noticing hundreds of problems with Dodge dashboards all cracking they said its out of warranty well now Nov 2016 it's basically coming apart all over I don' T know if anyone has been seriously injured from this.I only have 65,000 on this truck.my suggestion is to get a class action suit against this crappy company, then maybe the thousands of vehicles in question will be repaired, or give us our purchase price back

The whole top of dash has cracked out just crumbled piece of plastic fly when the windows are down without repair there is a great loss of value to this truck it is unacceptable for 24,000 and now probably a 2000 loss as the value is severly diminished.

The dashboard on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is cracked and broken. I understand this is a common problem in these trucks and aftermarket replacement covers are available. The broken dash can be a hazard if the airbag is deployed in the event of a crash and causes additional problems with heating the vehicle/defrosting windows since the vents no longer function properly. The hole also allows moisture in humid environments to readily gain access to electronic components under the dash. It would be helpful if Dodge would acknowledge this problem and offer assistance to correct the issue. My vehicle still has low mileage even though it is an older model. The problem started as cracks and has gotten progressively worse with time.

My dash on my 2001 1500 is cracked and has been cracked for many years. It so bad that I have a huge hole in my dash. I read that NHTSA says to expect a recall soon. July 2016 my truck goes in for a heater core replacement. So that dash must come off. Sure would be nice id Dodge would give me a replacement dash now. Cuz I could get it put on for no extra expense. Saving them 100's of dollars. Can anyone tell me when to expect this recall to be put into motion?

The dash on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is cracking in many different places. The front bezel on the instrument gauge panel is also cracking. My Dodge Ram has under 60,000 miles on it. I have always used a sun shade on this truck, so the cracking is not from sun exposure. I know this is happening to most Dodge trucks around the same year as mine. This should be recalled and should be replaced by the manufacturer.

The dashboard on this vehicle has broken into many jagged pieces. This was not caused by myself or by the vehicle's age. It was caused by the use of faulty materials. If I were to get into accident, these jagged pieces could easily be projected into me. I have contacted the manufacturer three times about this and they refuse to fix their mistake.

My truck has 185000 miles on it and started sounding like the back brakes were grinding. On the way to the mechanic the back tires locked up and broke the drive shaft off. Lucky for me I was only going 40 miles an hour.

On Feb 28 2015 while moving my all of my belongings to a new residence my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 caught on fire destroying everything I own, there where no warning signs or recall notices sent to me.

- Shenandoah, IA, USA

The dashboard get destroy to easly and the debries flies to the face making drive insecure because the plastic parts were hiting the face. The powers train gets very easly damage by rocks and debris on the street making it to vulnerable to get destroy (and that happen to me). The charging regulator gets brokes for nothing anytime and you need to be changing the computer or ading an external one and solder it to the principal cables that goes to the alternator, and relays.

Dashboard cracked, continues to crack and break regardless of any preventative measures taken. There are countless similar complains about this issue by other people. This is a safety issue. If the airbags were to deploy there would surely be dashboard shrapnel.

- Clarksville, TN, USA

Dashboard started to crack. Dodge will not replace. This has resulted in exposed wiring and not sure if the airbag will work if I am ever in an accident. It has also made the trade in value less than what it should be. This is something that Dodge needs to own up to and fix!

- Waverly, NY, USA

During the past 12 months, my dashboard developed a hairline crack and now looks like a ziggedy zaggedy puzzle with some edges very sharp. The dash is popped up now and doesn't even stay perfectly flat. I am feeling a recall should be issued or some type of reimbursement offered. This is very terrible.
