1995 Dodge Ram Complaints

THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AND THEN STARTED BREAKING INTO SHARP, JAGGED PIECES THAT JUMP OUT AT ME WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE TRUCK HAS HIT ANY KIND OF UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMP. NOT ONLY IS IT VERY DISTRACTING, BUT THE PIECES ARE VERY SHARP.

DASH IS CRACKING EVERYWHERE. ALSO THE VIN PLATE HAS ALSO FALLEN AND CANNOT BE READ BY POLICE AND OR STATE PATROL. THIS IS NOW AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF THAT AND THE SHARP PIECES THAT KEEP FALLING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER (BERT OGDEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 8421 W EXPY 83, HARLINGEN, TX 78552, (956) 734-2462) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THE VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PART FOR THE DEALER TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 00V135000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DASH BOARD CRUMBLES, WE HAVE LOOKED TO FIND ANOTHER DASH BOARD AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM, ALMOST A JOKE, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A DODGE DASH BOARD.. THEY ALL DO THIS. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRUCK WERE INVOLVED IN A MVC THEN THE PIECES OF THE DASH WOULD BECOME FLYING OBJECTS.. AND INJURY ANY ONE SITTING IN THE TRUCK. WE HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DODGE CARAVANS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS OR SEEM SUCH AN ACROSS THE BOARD PROBLEM WITH SO MANY VECHLIES. DODGE NEEDS TO OFFER A REPLACEMENT A FIX.. BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BURNED OUT AND CAUSED THE HEADLIGHTS TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 264,000.
