2004 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel 4X4. Last Friday the driver's door lock actuator just stopped working. Cannot open door from the outside with the key fob or by turning the key. The plunger thingy moves up a bit, but not enough to unlock the door - and you cannot pull it up manually. Just looked online and there are many many many reports of the same thing. Would be interested if there were a covered recall for this.

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab 4X4, and in July 2009, the dash cracked, with what I am left to guess is due to sunlight destroying on the plastic Chrysler uses to make the dash. I have called several regional dealers about the cost of replacing the dash, with the lowest cost as a consumer at $829.65 I was cleaning the dashboard July 2010, I'll typically clean my truck every 2-3 weeks, and as I wiped off the dash, one of the sharp edges on the dash cut the palm of my hand. This was not careless user error, I believe this is a manufacturer defect due to poor material choice for constructing a dash. I do keep the dash covered with a sun shield in parking lots where the sun is intense, and I have window tinting on the side and rear windows, and a strip on the top of the windshield, in hopes of preventing further damage. For the past year I have had the dash crack, it has caused more cracks, causing unsightly damage and a cut on the hand.

Grab-handle on windshield pillar pulled out of it's attachment bolts, potentially allowing driver to fall from vehicle upon entering vehicle. Grab-handle is totally plastic, not reinforced with metal. Assuming that the passenger side grab-handle is made the same way. Driver weighed approximately 180 pounds. This is a 4WD truck, and sits very high off the ground. The windshield mounted grab-handles are necessary to pull oneself up into the cab. These grab-handles are made as if they are cosmetic items, and not properly reinforced. I was shocked to find this was the case, and feel it is a serious safety flaw.
