Dash is cracking in multiple area. Seems to be getting progressively worse. Defrost vents are falling apart and becoming lodged in the vents. Worried about these pieces breaking and becoming sharps projectiles in the evening of a collision. Not safe.

Spare tire carrier. The cable that hoist the spare tire under the bed of the truck broke at the end of the cable causing the tire to fall to the ground. This happened while I was driving at 55 mph while towing a fifth wheel camper. The camper ran over the tire causing damage to my fifth wheel. Both axles are now bent on the camper, bent a rim, destroyed a tire, tore a jack stabilizer off of the camper. The tire just missed my wife who was driving behind me. We were traveling on a paved road. Thank god that nobody was injured or killed from this free rolling tire. I called Dodge about the problem, at first I was told that it was a maintenance problem, I informed them that the owners manual does not mention anything about maintenance for the spare tire carrier. I was then told that the vehicle was too old. This is a 2005 model that I bought brand new, I am the only owner of the vehicle. The truck is in almost perfect shape. I have only used the spare tire once, that was about 7 years ago. This is also the only time that the tire has been lowered.

My keys were able to be pulled out of ignition switch with just over 40000 miles on vehicle while vehicle was being drove. Now the vehicle was 8 years old when I bought from someone but only 40000 miles were on it. As time went on little things started happening, lights on dash would come on then shut off. Air would stay on even after shutting vehicle off. Then that would drain battery. The switch would become more loose over time. Keys wouldn't even stay in ignition, they would just fall out while I was driving.

Traveling on US93 out of kingman, AZ. Hit a patch of rough freeway and truck went into an uncontrollably death wobble. I was pulling a 12 foot haulmark motorcycle trailer when this occurred. It was a miracle we didn't crash. Got it slowed down and off the road everything appeared O.K. proceeded cautiously and now it was pulling hard to the right like something was out of line. After driving for appx 25 miles, whatever was causing it to pull to right corrected itself. Over the next 1500 miles this has occurred on three more occasions once with trailer and twice without trailer. Have new shocks and tires ordered. Have and appt with Dodge to have it checked out but have little faith in them.
