Attempted to turn on headlights. Headlight switch pulled out from dis-integrated instrument panel plastic. Had to release steering wheel and hold body of headlight switch with one hand while operating switch control with other hand. This Dodge Ram's dash cover has completely cracked away several years ago. Now, the actual instrument panel is dis-integrating. Currently the headlight switch, the overdrive switch and auxiliary power outlet are hanging by wires. The drink holder and radio are removed as their mounting support is gone.
Truck would not quit leaking inside truck no windows down or doors open after rain? found through a boroscope investigation that truck welded seams were not properly sealed after the welding took place. Windshield wiper motors removed and in between cab under window motor numerous welds were found to be leaking. Labor intensive to reseal. Cost $1,900 to reseal faulty welds from Mexico!
The dash is a big pile of junk! hard plastic with a vibrating diesel? turns to pieces and falls into defroster ducts, floor, all in cab of truck! this is why you don't buy Dodge or you buy it for only cummins diesel power! thats one of the only things that seldom breaks and needs fixing! take the power train away and you would not sell another! booo! no good dash!
Dodge Ram 2500 pick up truck: Dashboard has been slowly disintegrating to the point where certainly elements are holding only by one screw ' air-condition vents are falling out. Top of dashboard is 50% gone, broken in to small pieces and exposing electrical wires to the harsh sunlight. Some controls such as driver seat electrical window is no longer opening, RPM meter is only working intermittently. The underside, exposing all wires and controls is missing cover (disintegrated). Dodge is no longer selling the dashboard replacement ' would be willing to purchase at almost any price. The rist carks showedup about 3 years ago - so far there has not been an incident, but I am afraid, one day the entire dashboard will fall down, while driving - which will be very serious.
Bed has completely cracked in width of vehicle. This condition makes vehicle unstable. Consumer states there are also cracks at edges near tail gate. Tailgate hinges broke. Handles on window broke, causing window to open while vehicle was in motion.
