Seven problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 dash is falling apart. It is starting to "chunk" meaning pieces are coming out of it in what I would describe as sharp jagged "shards" with pointy edges. Noticed it beginning of last year as a single crack, not it is extensive an spreading across my entire dash. I am concerned because now wiring is exposed which could short lights etc. The chunks could fly out at high speeds into my eyes blinding my vision. In a wreck who knows what would happen.
Dash cover and plastic substructure cracked and sharp pieces falling off into the dash. Dash pulling away from the firewall on the passenger side. Headlight and hvac control mouting points broken lose and falling into the dash. Concerened about proper airbag deployment in event of a crash with lose dash fragments and the dash detaching further from the firewall and becoming a projectile causing additional injury to occupants.
Dash cracking. Dash is in pieces and may affect airbag deployment.
The vehicle has a cracked dashboard. Seems common for some model year Dodge ram pickups. I am concerned that chunks of the dash could come off and blow into my face while driving with the windows open. This has happened to others who have a Dodge ram with a cracked dashboard.
My dash is falling apart. It has cracked into many sharp pieces and lost all of it's structural integrity. Since car seats should be placed in the front seat of this vehicle, the pieces that have completely broken away from the dash are hazardous to my child's health.
The dash of my truck started to crack and now it is in pieces. I put on a dash cover to cover the large holes. I noticed others have had the same problem. The edges are sharp I tried to glue some together, but then another part of the dash failed. Will this affect the air bags? it seems this problem should be addressed, the hard plastic has sharp edges.
My Dodge Ram 2500's dash started showing small cracks within a few years of purchase. I ignored this until the cracks started spreading over the whole dash. I then taped over the cracks and put a dash rug over the dash for protection. I recently removed the rug, and was shocked to see that the cracks had become large pieces of dash material that were falling down under the dash.
