| Engine shuts off while driving and stops in the middle of the highway. this happens several times per day. to start the engine back up, i have to come to a complete stop, cut the ignition switch completely off, wait 1-5 minutes, cut the ignition switch completely back on and if the gas meter gauge comes on, then the engine will start up again. the engine will cut off again while driving in 1 minute to a few hours. | |||

| The dash on my 2000 dodge ram 1500 has cracked to the point that there is barely any left. i feel this is a safety issue because the broken pieces could fly at someone and cause serious injuries. also upon impact the dash could have further pieces break off and cause damage. | |||

| Driving at approx. 25 mph an a residential street, i hit a pothole. the dashboard, which was badly cracked as a result of manufacturer defect, suffered catastrophic failure, collapsing in pieces. the bezel fell forward, obstructing the gauges, and two pieces fell near the pedals. i was able to pull over without further incident. | |||

| This is my second dodge ram and again my dashboard is cracking a big chuncks are falling thru the dashboard. my first dodge did this, but i though it may be because i failed to keep it protective from the sun, but the dodge i have know has always been parked in a garage or under a carport and i make sure and keep protective cleaner, sun of a gun, on it frequently. i do feel that someone legal needs to get involved in this and make chrysler/dodge recall this and pay for it. these are not cheap trucks and the engines are very good, but the dashboard makes the truck looked ragged. i have several friends with the same complaints on their dodge trucks. | |||

| I have a 2000 dodge 1500 quad cab with a completely broken and collapseing dashboard. this started 3 1/2 to 4 years ago and since then i really don't have much dash left. since some research i have found that this is not a unique problem. | |||

| The front cover and top of the dashboard on my 2000 dodge ram 1500 has been slowly falling apart over the last two years. i have removed the front instrument cover due to dangerous sharp edges. the top of the dash has split into four sections with numeroud cracks radiating from the bolts near the windshield. had a 6x10 section of the top dash pop out and land in my lap when i hit a pothole. | |||
