2001 Dodge 2500 dash cracks creating holes in dash or large cracks.

- Azle, TX, USA

The dashboard is cracked all over and is falling apart completely. I feel there needs to be a recall and this needs to be replaced because this is a safety hazard!!! Dodge has not fixed this issue and I will not buy another vehicle from this maker again until it is fixed.

Dashboard on truck is cracking. The cracks form extremely sharp edges and dagger shapes which would cut vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.

We bought a new 2001 Dodge 2500 in October 2000. Approximately 5 years after we bought it the dash began falling apart. At the time it began cracking, I wrote Dodge a letter explaining our problem and requesting they repair the dash "in good faith" even though it was out of warranty. They never even bothered to reply. Every single person we know with this Dodge truck has a dash that is falling apart. There are huge chunks now creating holes in the dash. Parts of the dash are falling down under the dash area into places I can't safely access. We have unsuccessfully attempted to glue the cracks approximately 20 times. My fear is that it's getting so bad it will soon interfere with wiring, air bags and safety of the vehicle as chunks of the dash are falling into areas of the truck where they are not intended to be. I don't think we should have to wait for an accident to happen to see this dash recalled. Since Dodge is not accepting responsibility for this obvious defect, I think the government should force them to recall the truck and repair the damage.

The vehicle is a 2001 Dodge Ram truck. The dash board has cracked and poses a safety hazard by dangerous sharp pieces. If I was in an accident one of these pieces could inflict potentially severe injury.

2001 Dodge Ram 2500 dashboard. Dash is cracked so bad I'm worried that in the event of an accident loose pieces could result in injury to occupants in vehicle. Pieces could also fall into moving parts (brake pedal, steering column ) causing unsafe conditions. Mileage when cracks started to appear 55,000.

I own an '01 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab. Bought it used in 2005. In summer of 2009 the dash started cracking from windshield down the glove box, and from windshield to front bezel in front of driver. Now cracks all over. No pieces fallen out yet, but sure will be happening soon. Asked local dealer about dash, said nothing to do except replace it. Told me probably would be problem finding replacement dash as there were so many cracked. Told me to buy dash cover. Nice. Don't think so!!!!

Dash cracking. Presently no issues other than cracked dash, however, speed at which dash is deteriorating could lead to electrical failures, as has happened to several other owners of this make vehicle.

- Montrose, CO, USA

I own a 2001 Dodge 2500 truck. Several years ago I noticed a crack in the dash. There are now at least 6 cracks. Unfortunately these are not surface cracks. The dash is cracked all the way through and is reaching the point where I fear it will either collapse or send pieces flying around the cab creating what I think is a safety hazard.

The dash on my 2001 Ram is cracking up now pieces are starting to fall off I believe this is a safety issue. Broken parts can damage wiring and become projectiles in a collision.

- Gering , NE, USA

Entire dash and dash bezel fell apart. No damage done to the dash, it just fell apart. Wires and duct work are now open to the sun and foreign materials.

- Bryan, TX, USA

Dashboard plastic, dashboard pad section breaks, falls apart in 1999 to 2006 model year Dodge Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 2500 pickups and may cut wiring inside dash, possibly creating a hazard. It appears to be a common complaint online. Dodge appears to be unconcerned.

The dashboard is falling apart into several sharp pieces. I had a 4"X5" piece fall into the dashboard this week.

- Novato, CA, USA

My dashboard had a small crack that has turned in to a massive sinkhole. My fear is possible life threatening injury/ permanent disability to myself or a passenger as a result of passenger side airbag deployment that would cause the remaining pieces of plastic to become projectiles. The dealer has told me that no recall has been issued so they will not take any corrective action.
