Structure · at 118,555 miles · reported Oct 7, 2012
Shortly after purchasing the truck, the dashboard developed a small crack; within a week, the dash began to crack from one side to the other. I initially tried to put a piece of fabric tape over the larger crack, but the dash has continued to shatter into sharp shards, and pieces of the insulation are now dropping out in large chunks. This morning, when I started the defroster, a piece of the dashboard flew out & cut my forehead above the right eye. I have owned at least a dozen vehicles in my life and I have never had a problem like this with the dash. On one other vehicle I owned, although…

The dashboard on my 2002 dodge ram is all cracked and the vents for the AC and defrost are all loose and broken. My A/C makes a loud rattling noise when I turn it on from the loose vents on the dash. This is my third new dodge that I have bought and since chrysler is not doing anything to keep their customers the next new vehicle I buy will not be a dodge.

On the 2002 dodge 1500 quad cab the dashboard has several cracks that are growing. In 40 years of cars never had a dashboard crack like this. Several large cracks in front dashboard and now smaller ones appearing in back dashboard. Asked dealer about repair parts was told that would cost over $500 last year and parts counter had been ordering many for repairs. Didn't know cracks would grow, or that it could collapse. Cracks started about three years ago, are getting worse , and last year had to repair air conditioner but other than that truck has been running good.
Power Train · reported Nov 29, 2006
A few days after purchasing my vehicle, I went back to the dealership complaining about problems with the front left tire. The dealer told me that this was normal and because I had never owned a truck before ,that I was just being paranoid. He told me to go and enjoy my truck . A few weeks later,I was driving down the road after pulling out of the intersection, speed hadn't even got up to 40 MPH yet, when this car stopped in front of me to make a turn . I got on my brakes . The truck acted as if it was going to stop , then suddenly I heard a pop or breaking noise . The truck wouldn't stop , so…
Child Seat · reported Oct 27, 2004
I have a 2002 dodge ram quad cab. I have a 6 month old that uses a rear facing infant car seat. There are no floor or seat anchors or tethers to hook the car seat to. There is tethers at the head rest, but this does not prevent the car seat from moving. No one will help me. I have called chrysler customer assistance center over & over again, I have taken the truck to the local dearlership to have them install the car seat correctly & they say there is nothing they can do about it. They blame it on not wanting to alter the vehicle since they were only required to place the correct latch anchors…
