That fact that i paid my truck off 6 months ago after paying $427 a month for 7 years and now i have to look at a dashboard that is completely f*cking cracked to pieces is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only that my transmission went on my truck at 60,000 miles and my rear-end blew at 100,000 miles!!!!!!!! And it has been a show truck since i bought it, so no these problems are not caused by a rough riding kid!!!!!!!!! I dont even let it touch snow and i live in the northeast.. Not a very big dodge fan anymore, booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodge needs to RECALL this dash and replace it!! We have checked with Dodge and between parts and labor it will be close to 1,000 to fix it if not more.... Not only is the WHOLE dash caved in the weight of it falling in is tearing apart the whole trim area around the steering wheel and the radio system! PLEASE Recall the problem Dodge!! I would NEVER buy another car from ya'll!! It is a safty issue!! all the plastic pieces that fall down inside the dash area sit on the heater and air conditioner! The edges are Sharp and pointy!! It's a problem that needs to get fixed!! and Common sense says if trucks from 1995 -2006 Rams 1500 and 2500 ALL have the same problem with Dash it Needs to be a Recall!!!

I'm afraid to clean my dash for fear of the dash caving in. I'm amazed at the amount of "on the head" descriptions of the dashboard cracks. It's astonishing with the amount of complaints that Dodge hasn't "made it right" with it's "valued" customers.

Right now I have almost 200,000 mi on it and it's still running strong (must have a Wedensday truck) everything is great but the dash and the plastic front molding piece around the speedometer and radio area. clicks into the dash has all just broken off and pulls off with the touch of a finger. How dangerous is that to fall off on your arms when driving and get wrapped up with the steering wheel or get your hands pinned.

Granted the truck is 10 years old, the first crack in my dash didn't concern me too badly. I bought some clear silicone and ran a bead from top to bottom of the crack. It seemed to fix it without the aesthetics being very noticeable. However, the second and third cracks that occurred for no reason at all, have heightened my concern immensely. All I can think about is me driving on the freeway and the whole dash just crumbles off. My imagination may be getting the best of me, but after seeing other Dodges with the same problem I don't really think I am too far off. I would like to know what would happen if that were to happen, before it happens. I don't think too many people would take that kind of surprise too well. A safety hazard for sure! It could cause an accident! Aren't vehicles supposed to pass a safety check? Why isn't Dodge doing anything about it? Is it because of how much it could cost the company? Is there a number of signatures that would have to be obtained before something can and will be done about this? There goes the resale value right out the window! I might sound reserved but in all actuality I am @#*!! mad!!! Companies and their products all over the world get away with faulty crap, but a car company really should be held accountable. These aren't just vehicles we are driving, they are weapons. They should be warrantied to be kept in the safest standards without having to cost US, the consumers more. Damn it.
