MY 2001 DODGE DAKOTA LEAKED WATER TO THE RIGHT OR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAB COMPARTMENT (EVERY TIME IT RAINED. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED DURING THE SUMMER OF 06" IT FIRST APPEARED ON THE FLOOR OF THE FRONT SEAT. AFTER TEARING UP ALL THE CARPET I FOUND THAT THE WATER WAS ACTUALLY COMING IN FROM BEHIND THE REAR SEAT. THERE IS A SEAM ABOUT HALF WAY UP IN THE RIGHT REAR CORNER AND THAT IS WHERE THE WATER IS COMING IN I TRIED TO PATCHED IT AS BEST I COULD. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB THAT WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2002. WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I NOTICED A CRACK STARTING IN THE DASH THAT ENDED UP BEING THE FIST OF MANY HOLES THAT FORMED IN THE DASH. AFTER DOING SOME SEARCHING I FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALMOST EVERYONE I TALKED TO IN TOWN AND ACROSS THE US, VIA THE INTERNET, WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. SOME WERE VERY SUBTLE WHILE OTHERS WERE TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. MINE AT THE MOMENT IS PURELY COSMETIC AND HAS NOT INTERFERED WITH ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL OR HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS THAT RESIDE UNDER/BEHIND THE DASH. AS THE YEARS HAVE…

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. I TOO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS NOW IN THE DASHBOARD. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, BUT WHAT I FIRST NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE IN 2006 WAS A SMALL AREA ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE IT MET THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN THIS AREA, A SMALL PIECE ACTUALLY BROKE OUT. THERE WAS A CRACK RUNNING FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK OF THE DASHBOARD IN THIS AREA. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS IT WAS A USED VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE SEVERAL FRONT TO BACK CRACKS ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND THE PLASTIC THAT GOES AROUND THE LENS THAT COVERS ALL THE GAUGES. THE MOST CONCERNING TO ME…
