Two problems related to electrical failure have been reported for the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The dashboard of my vehicle has cracked and recently parts of it have caved in. Wires are now exposed to the elements and I believe this poses a huge safety issue if there is an electrical failure (e. G. , brake lights fail). This defect in the dash has been acknowledged by Chrysler.
Vehicle caught on fire, fire department stated fire was caused due to electrical failure and started with the battery, claim 36-a171-271.
