Carrier/rack problems of the 1998 Dodge Ram 1500

Upper dash totally gone and bezel around cluster cracked and falling apart.

The pivot point in the steering system allows the wheels if not in perfect condition, the opportunity to turn inwards. This inward motion the front wheels perform at 40 mph-50mph is unacceptable. Also the dashboard cracks like peanut brittle, allowing pieces of sharp hard plastic to fly into the windshield, which as per standard no. 219 is not meeting regulations. In the event of a crash, metal is now exposed to the passengers due to this cracking and breaking apart. Do something before people get seriously injured because Chrysler wants to make money. Help us. This is a lemon 2nd generation ram model and no one is taking responsibility.

Dashboard is cracking.

Dash cap and bezel are cracked so bad that if the air bag deployed, everyone in the vehicle would get a face full of sharp plastic.

He dash started cracking not that long after we got the truck. It was not even paid off when it started coming apart was used. We eventually put a mat dash cover on it to keep the parts from flying around. It has virtually dissolved since then. Very poor material was used on these.

Consumer had received a recall from manufacturer telling consumer to take vehicle to dealer for check and repair of cracks on t trailer hitch, or to attach support to avoid cracks on hitch. But, dealer nor manufaturer had tried to answer help. The dealer pointed out that the hitch was installed after the vehicle was purchased and the recall does not apply. However, the consumer says this was manufacturer installed hitch and the dealer must do the repair.

Whole dash has open hole the size of a football, and cracks from drivers side to passenger side. More open space than dash left. It cracks, breaks, and crumbles to where tape doesn't even work anymore. Falls into cab and behind dash.
