Three problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The dashboard has crumpled up and cave in the plastic has deteriorated also rust has developed under the doors an underbody.
My dashboard is falling apart. There are pieces of plastic everywhere including right in front of the airbag, which would quite literally turn into flying death particles if the airbag ever went off, completely defeating the purpose of the airbag. This really should be a recall isue as it has quite a big impact on safety of the airbag system with brittle plastic shards flying everywhere. This didn't happen all at once, it's happened over the years, and I even keep a dash cover on it since the day I got it. The plastic is just simply poor quality, it's not from sun fading, or anything else.
: the contact stated while towing a trailer on a clear day traveling on a dry paved highway, the rear of the vehicle began to bouncing. The road was smooth and without potholes. The vehicle was pulled onto the shoulder of the road immediately. Upon inspection the trailer hitch assembly of the truck was observed to be fractured. The service dealer and the manufacturer were notified.
