WE OWE A 1999 DODGE 1500 QUAD CAB RIGHT AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WENT OUT THE DASH CAVED IN REALLY BAD. WE BOUGHT ONE FROM A JUNK YARD AND REPLACED IT HOWEVER IT IS CAVING IN NOW. THE GLOVE BOX JUST RECENTLY FELL OUT. THE OVERHEAD BOX THAT HOLDS YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER BROKE. I AM JUST WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE DASH AND AIRBAGS. I THINK A FORMAL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM TRUCK 2500 SERIES 4X4. THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS TOTALLY CAVED IN AND FALLEN ON THE CONTROLS, AIRBAG, FAN AND WIRING. I CAN'T EVEN GET TO SOME OF THE PIECES OF THE PLASTIC. I HAVE READ AND HEARD ON THE RADIO/TV THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF DODGE OWNERS ARE HAVING IT ISN'T JUST ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIALS THAT DODGE IS USING IN THEY'RE PLASTIC AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. *TR

ODI #10195217

Incident: June 30, 2007 · Filed: July 3, 2007

THE BRAKES IN THE 1999 DODGE DURANGO FAILED WHILE TRAILING A Y BOAT. I HAD THE TRUCK FLAT BED TO THE SERVICE STATION. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED AT THE BOAT RAMP SO NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LINES REPLACED. THEY WERE COMPLETELY ROTTED. I DON'T THINK THAT A TRUCK THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE BRAKELINES ROTTED AS BAD AS THESE WERE. THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WERE THE WORST HE HAD EVER SEEN. I HAD HIM SAVE SOME OF THE OLD BRAKELINE FOR ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFTEY HAZARD, ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED.*AK
