REAR BRAKE LINE BLEW AT 142000 MILES, FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE BLEW AT 143000 MILES, DODGE SHOULD HAVE USED SOME KIND OF ANTI-CORROSION LINES, ALL THE BRAKE LINES ON MY TRUCK ARE VERY RUSTY, LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN SUBMERGED IN SEA WATER. GOOGLE THE PROBLEM, EVERYONE HAS IT. DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. LUCKY FOR ME BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP AND NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I NOW WANT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AS THIS IS THE 2ND SUCH INCIDENT AND LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LINES, I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM. SHAME ON DODGE FOR PUTTING OUT SUCH A SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. *JS

MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK ABOUT A YEAR AGO SO I PURCHASED AN AFTERMARKET COVER. IT DID NOT STOP THE CRACKING AND NOW THE TOP OF THE DASH HAS SHATTERED AND IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHARP AND POINTED PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL INJURY IN A CRASH, PARTICULARLY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 USED WITH A CRACKED DASH. THE ORIGINAL OWNER STATED IT CRACKED THE SECOND YEAR HE OWNED IT WITH ONLY APPROXIMATELY 33,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS ON ALMOST EVERY DODGE RAM TRUCK MANUFACTURED FROM 1998-2006 AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS FILED ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH EVERY CONCEIVABLE REGULATING AGENCY. NOTHING TO DATE HAS BEEN DONE! THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE REGULATING AGENCIES HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!! I HAVE ALREADY HAD PIECES OF THE DASH FLY INTO MY EYE WHILE DRIVING! WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN OR THE DEFROST IS IN OPERATION, SMALL PARTICLES FLY OFF
