Dodge Ram 1500 Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Apr 01, 2011
Reported on Apr 01, 2011
| DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING AND CAVING IN. LARGE AND SMALL PIECES HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DASH AREA. SOON AFTER, I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TRIED USING MY HIGH BEAMS, AND WILL LOSE MY HEADLAMPS, AND THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T COME ON EITHER. DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE RELATED BUT RECENTLY HAVE HEARD AND READ OF SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DODGE RAMS THAT HAVE BROKEN DASHBOARDS. SOME HAVE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE DASH TOO. I ALSO NOW HAVE SIGNIFICANT WIND WHISTLE COMING FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD UNLESS I LEAVE A WINDOW CRACKED OR VENT OPEN WHEN TRAVELLING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SUSPECT IT IS FROM LOSS OF STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY DUE TO COLLAPSED DASH. *TT | |
