1999 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD CRACKING AND FALLING APART LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ALL OVER THE STATES. WILL YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PRESSURE A RECALL. PLEASE? *TR
- Structure
THE DASHBOARD IN MY 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 DEVELOPED A SMALL CRACK ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND HAS RECENTLY SPREAD INTO A MAJOR BUSTED UP DASH. ALSO, ALL THE OTHER INTERIOR PLASTIC COMPONENTS MUST BE MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE DASH AND ARE JUST AS BRITTLE. *TR

DASH CRACKED IN 2001 ,VEHICLE IS A 1999. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASH IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF THE DODGE AND NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO SHUT OFF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BECAUSE IM AFRAID THAT I COULD BE INJURED BY FLYING DEBRIS IF I WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
- Service brakes, hydraulic
MY 99 DODGE RAM PICKUP HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING IT TODAY A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED, UPON LOOKING AT THE LINE, IT APPEARS TO BE OF STEEL AND IS A MASS OF RUST. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT RESULTED, BUT I WONDER IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IF THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL, OR SHOULD BE. THANKS, DICK CARLETON. *TR
