| Dodge 2500 4x4 diesel truck dash is cracked in about 5 places. it is going to fall through pretty soon. i have taken care of the vehicle extremely well with sun shades when ever i park it. still the dash has cracked and will become a safety hazard. dodge should replace this dash with a plastic or material that will work effectively. *jb | |||

| We purchased a brand new 2001 dodge ram 2500. (construction co.) by 2003 the dash was cracking. qucikly falling apart with chunks caving inward. even though there was no negligence on our part and obviously a manufacturer problem, the dodge dealership would not fix it for us. we have called the 800 number, seen on tv but have gotten no help. the 2nd time we called they did not even return our call. as you can see, by this complaint site, this is a common problem of the 2001 pickups! what can we do about it?? | |||

| I own a 2001 dodge ram2500. the dash started cracking just as my extended warranty ran out. now the dash has cracks all over it and some of it has fallen down. i am aware of many, many other dodge trucks made in 2001 that are doing this. eventually this will lead to electrical failures. dodge says they will not fix this. it's pretty obvious if this many people have dodges with cracked up and falling apart dashes, it is a manufactureres defect. | |||

| The dash is severely cracked. this is happening to several dodge ram's of the 2001 year that i know of. it is a dangerous situation, with the possibility of the broken dash falling downward and possibly damaging wiring, or even getting stuck on the gas pedal, potentially causing a serious accident. *jb | |||

| I removed the spare tire to fix a flat. it was the original spare and had never been used before. after having tire repaired i tried to return the spare to it's stow area under the bed but the winch would not lift it. it will work when the cable does not have weight on it but it will not lift the spare. the winch appears to have plastic parts. i feel this could be a safety issue if it would fail while driving down the highway. *jb | |||
