The manufacturer acknowledged the failure, and stated that they will only honor vehicles from the years 1998 and above. The contact feared that if shewas involved in a crash someone will be hurt because of the deteriorated dashboard. The current mileage is 199,800, and failure mileage was 100,000.
I have a 1995 Dodge Ram two years ago the dash started cracking. It is bad now all the way from one side to other. I have spoke with a lot of other people with this same problem.
This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the Dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then Dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to Dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! the engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.
This complaint is in reference to my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500. I have had problems with the cup holders. It has cutouts on the sides that allows the cup to tip onto the driver during a very slow turn. I recently was burned by a cup of coffee and ended up off the road in a ditch. The cup tipped over in a smooth turn at less than 20mph. Also the poor location of the holder, which sits high on the dash, causes visual imparment to the driver. I feel that this is a very unsafe condition and could cause a life threatening accident.
