Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

LARGE HOLES IN DASH OF 2000 DODGE RAM1500 PICKUP,STATED AS A CRACK, NOW ENTIRE DASH. *TR

NHTSA ID 10314153 · filed Feb 25, 2010

ENTIRE DASH HAS CRACKED. HOLES NOW EXIST WHERE PLASTIC HAS FALLEN OUT, THE LARGEST BEING 12" LONG. SAW NEWS REPORT ON ORLANDO, FLORIDA CHANNEL WKMG REGARDING CRACKED DASHES ON DODGE RAMS. WENT BY DEALER (PARK CITIES DODGE IN DALLAS, TX) TO SEE ABOUT REPAIR. THEY QUOTED $600 MINIMUM FOR REPAIR, SO I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THAT TIME. CALLED THE DODGE CONSUMER RELATIONS LINE TO SEE HOW THIS COULD BE RESOLVED. AS THE NEWS REPORT INDICATED SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR DASH REPLACED FOR AS LITTLE AS $100. DODGE PLACED ME ON HOLD, CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ULTIMATELY DECIDED THIS WAS PURELY A COSMETIC ISSUE AND WOULD NOT HELP AT ALL. IN ADDITION, HER DECISION WAS FINAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT A "COSMETIC ISSUE" IF I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ARE DODGE OWNERS IN FLORIDA. I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THIS REGARDING THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ADDITIONALLY, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEATHER AFFECTING THE EXPOSED WIRING UNDER THE DASH. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
