12 problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving home when I ran into some bumpy roads and I looked at my passenger side airbag control module in the dash and it was gone. The whole inner dash was broke loose and plastic parts were falling onto the floorboard. I've e-mailed Dodge and haven't received anything back from them yet. The dealership says it could be from $1000 to $7000 to fix. It had a few cracks in it before but now it seams to be just falling to pieces. I believe this could cause my airbags to deploy at any minute and this is a safety issue. In an accident how could you tell if the airbag deployed before or after the incident? could the airbag cause an accident? Dodge says it's out of warranty and I will have to fix it myself. I think with all the dash issues, Dodge should at least bare some of the responsibility. They won't even tell me if my truck is safe to drive? so it sets in back yard.
As 2nd owner for past 12 yrs vehicle was like new, about 3yrs ago it developed a crack in the dashboard from the windshield to glove box door and since has cracked in 2 other areas from windshield to front! this vehicle sits under cover of an RV shelter with my RV 90% of it's existence! I just recently found out that daimler-Chrysler has refused any recall to to correct this faulty product for thousands owners experiencing this problem! I. Cannot believe the government has not made Chrysler responsible for replacing this inferior product as they have the air bags. I wholeheartedly pray that you can use your power to hold Chrysler to stand up and correct this problem!.
Top of dash is cracked all the way through from front to back in several places. It has always been parked either in the shade of under a carport.
My Dodge 2001 ram, dashboard cracking. There are 2 other guys here at work that have the same issue, both rams between 2001/2008. Story on the news today of problems everywhere. Been cracking over last 4-5 years.
Dash cracked all over and fell apart with no accident.
Around 2009 I started noticing cracks in dash. They continued to get bigger and begin breaking off in chunks. Now I wonder when dash will fall apart.
I own a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup, the dash started cracking last year. I was out of town for a few weeks came home and noticed a large area on my dash caved in , the plastic is real brittle I am afraid someone might cut themselves on it and it looks really bad.
I own a 2001 Dodge 2500 truck. Several years ago I noticed a crack in the dash. There are now at least 6 cracks. Unfortunately these are not surface cracks. The dash is cracked all the way through and is reaching the point where I fear it will either collapse or send pieces flying around the cab creating what I think is a safety hazard.
While driving the dash cracked. Two days later another crack and pieces fell in behind the dash. Today the plastic dash continue to crack and fall apart. Chrysler continue to say they are not responsible, but they are the installers and manufactor. 70 % of the dash is gone.
Dashboard is cracking and braking apart peace s are coming off and hitting me in the face and eyes.
: the contact stated while backing the vehicle with a utility trailer in tow, the trailer hitch bracket fractured without warning. Upon initial inspection, the hitch bracket was fractured in several areas. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer determined the trailer hitch brackets were manufactured using a material with insufficient strength and the brackets needed to be reinforced. There is a NHTSA recall, # 00v107000, regarding the trailer hitches. The VIN was not included in the recall.
The dashboard in this vehicle has been cracked and broken since 2004. It continues to break and chip causing pieces of sharp plastic to fall inside the inner dash area. When driving at night and attempting to change from low beam, to high beam, the lights will go out and will not be operational. You have to continuously flip the high beam switch multiple times to get the lights to come back on. This did not start until the dash cracked and plastic pieces fell inside the dash. Both of these issues continue to this date.
