I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 & the dash has completely cracked & chunks have broken free & are floating around under the remaining parts of the dash panel. This problem has been a gradual process & the dash has become more cracked as time has gone on.

On the passenger side doors. The main door has rust bubbles under the factory paint at the bottom. The smaller door has 2 -3inch cracks side by side. This truck has had both a factory under coat and another under coat just 1 year ago. But the cause of these 2 problems look like it came from the factory.

My 2000 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck has a cracked dash, and this has resulted in largest pieces of the dashboard to break completely off. I now have huge holes where a dash is supposed to be. This is creating a safety hazard in the truck as it has exposed components under the dash. I have had many, many cars and trucks in my lifetime, and have kept many of these cars and trucks for more than 10-15 years, and none has ever had a dashboard crack. When I contacted chrysler they say they are going to do nothing about it. Obviously, due to the huge number of complaints, this is a defective…

I drove my 2000 dodge 3500 cummins diesel with 85000 miles to work and turned it off when I came back it would not start. Chrysler refused to help. I then had the vp44 injector pump replaced at a cost of $1550.00 to me. Chrysler told me that the engine was still under warranty by cummins but the pump was not covered even though it had cummins name on it.

My wife was driving our 2000 dodge ram 1500 4x4 pickp truck on a freeway when the hood of the truck released. The hood bent backwards and smashed into the windshield. My wife was able to use the sideview mirrors to direct the vehicle to the shoulder.
