5 years after manufacture of this vehicle the dashboards have gone from fractured to nearly completely dissolved. Through research this issue is applicable to all vehicles produced with this make and model. The issue has become a safety concern now that the air bags have become exposed and will not properly inflate if needed. Dodge has received more than 16,000 complaints and insists these faulty parts are the responsibility of the consumer. However they are more than happy to refer you a certified dealer with a replacement cost of approximately 975 dollars us.

Excessive cracks have formed in both dashboard pieces. The plastic has become very brittle and sharp pieces are beginning to fall into the wiring underneath. Nothing particular happened that caused it, they just appeared overnight. Conversations with the local Dodge dealer and Chrysler customer service yeilded no assistance. I am concerned of the sharp edges of the plastic falling into the dashboard wiring and causing electrical failures while driving or, in the event of an airbag deployment, shards of the shattering plastic impaling the driver or passenger.

While driving at interstate speed (70 mph), and switching lanes while on a bridge, the excessive bouncing and bad suspension of truck make me lose control of the truck. The truck pulled to the right and the rear end of the truck ended up spinning around, making a complete 180--- on a bridge!! I ended up slamming into the safety rail of the bridge. And the air bags didn't go off. Luckily, I wasn't injured. At first I thought the accident was my fault, but after talking to a few owners of this model, I figured out that many of us have had the same problems with this truck. The question is, why is this problem not being fixed?? I have talked to the dealer, and they just keep referring me to dealers from other towns.

2002 Dodge Ram 1500 had a severe front end collison that totalled the truck and bent the frame into a diamond shape. Neither the passenger nor driver side air bags deployed. There was not a portion of the front end of the vehicle that did not sustain damage. Several body shops have stated that, that kind of collision is what the air bags are made for.

While traveling at 50 the right front tire slightly touched the gravel on an uneven parkway, and caused the driver to lose control of vehicle, the vehicle flipped and crashed. Upon impact, the air bags failed to deploy. The passenger was killed. When the tire left the road the consumer turned the wheel back to the left to get the vehicle back onto the road. The vehicle fishtailed in the rear and collided head on into the concrete culvert, flipped end over, and rolled upside down into a ditch. Neither air bag deployed. The consumer was told the size of the wheels should be redesigned due to the chassis. (the change of the center gravity caused the vehicle to be unstable)
