Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints 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.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 1995 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS ALL BUT FALLEN COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRUCK... IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK, AND NOW HAS SHARP EDGES, AND ANY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER I FEEL AS THOUGH IM PUTTING THEIR LIFE IN DANGER IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING... THE DASH HAS A HOLE IN IT ALMOST A FOOT LONG IN IT, AND ALL THE EDGES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP... YOU CAN TELL THE PLASTIC IS DEFECTIVELY FRAGILE... THERE ARE NUMEROUS DODGE OWNERS FROM RAM 1500'S UP TO 3500'S ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT DEFIANTLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. THANKS. *TR

CUP HOLDER WON'T HOLD CUPS SUFFICIENTLY. TURNING CORNERS CAUSES CUPS WITH FULL CONTENTS TO FLIP OUT OF THE HOLDER WITHOUT VERY LITTLE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. IF AN OPERATOR TRIES TO CATCH THE CUP A MOMENT OCCURS WHERE THE OPERATOR IS NOT IN COMPLETE COMMAND OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD AND MAY HAVE ALREADY LED TO ACCIDENTS. *AK
