MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK HAS A CRACKED DASH, AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN LARGEST PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD TO BREAK COMPLETELY OFF. I NOW HAVE HUGE HOLES WHERE A DASH IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE TRUCK AS IT HAS EXPOSED COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE HAD MANY, MANY CARS AND TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME, AND HAVE KEPT MANY OF THESE CARS AND TRUCKS FOR MORE THAN 10-15 YEARS, AND NONE HAS EVER HAD A DASHBOARD CRACK. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. OBVIOUSLY, DUE TO THE HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT OF DODGE RAM TRUCKS. *TR

PREMATURE TOTAL CRACKING OF DASHBOARDS IN ALL MODEL DODGE PICK UPS. 90% OF THE OWNERS OF DODGE PICKUPS IN MY AREA HAD TO REPLACE OR HAVE CRACKED DASHBOARDS IN THEIR TRUCK.

THE DODGE TRUCK OWNERS WERE GETTING THE SHAFT. *AK

I DROVE MY 2000 DODGE 3500 CUMMINS DIESEL WITH 85000 MILES TO WORK AND TURNED IT OFF WHEN I CAME BACK IT WOULD NOT START. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO HELP. I THEN HAD THE VP44 INJECTOR PUMP REPLACED AT A COST OF $1550.00 TO ME. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BY CUMMINS BUT THE PUMP WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT HAD CUMMINS NAME ON IT. *NM

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 PICKP TRUCK ON A FREEWAY WHEN THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK RELEASED. THE HOOD BENT BACKWARDS AND SMASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO USE THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS TO DIRECT THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE DEALERSHIP IS IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE FRONT HOOD, WINDSHIELD, REARVIEW MIRROR, FIX FENDERS, FIX THE PASSENGER DOOR, AND REPLACE THE HOOD LATCHES.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES OVER 15 MPH THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE BY POWER DOOR LOCKS. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT BUT I COULD OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. I HAD IT FIXED BY TASH DODGE IN ELKHORN FOR $150. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT AND THE SAME THING OCCURED. I HAD IT FIXED AND ANOTHER $150. THIS PAST WEEK THE READ DRIVER SIDE DOOR WENT OUT AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY OR WITH THE CONTROL. I HAVE TO HIT IT MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL OPEN (SOMETIMES). I CONTACTED DODGE AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD AS IF SOMEONE MUST EXIT THE REAR SEAT IN AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE OR SOME OTHER PROBLEM, THEY ARE UNABLE TO. THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT IF WARRENTY THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM. I ASKED TO JUST HAVE THEM DISCONECT THE POWER LOCK IN THE REAR DOOR SO THAT IT COULD BE MANUALLY OPENED AND THEY WILL NOT DO THAT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A FLAW IN THE PRODUCT THAT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZZARD THAT THEY SHOULD REPAIR. MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2000 DURANGO THAT ALSO HAD TO HAVE A DOOR LOCK REPLACED AND SHE NOW IS GETTING ANOTHER ONE THAT ISN'T WORKING RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHERS AREV OUT THERE WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *AK
