Description of the problem | I bought my dodge ram 1500 in 2000 brand new actually the truck is 2001 got it one year ahead. If i remember like around 2004 four years after i bought the truck i noticed some cracks on the dashboard then by 2005 the dash was completely gone everything fall down inside, i can even hear the pieces all the time when i am driving. I never wanted to take the pieces out and up to this date most of the dashboard is still inside the dash in pieces. A year ago i noticed that when my ac is on the air keeps shutting down but its not the ac that gets off is the vents that closes, i can even hear when they open back then i start to feel the air blowing again. I don't know if because all the dash pieces are inside on top of the vents and maybe some of the got inside the vents or something. I also bought the cup holder because it fall in pieces as the dash. Also the sunglasses compartment door its broken so i don't use it any more because i can close it. I bought a dash cover because the replacement for the dash its very expensive. Even the aftermarket one are very expensive. I wish i could have my dash replace, dodge needs to step up on this and fix the problem because i am not the only one, its every single truck out there with the same problem. I hope to hear soon that there's a recall for the dashboards. |
