Bought truck in 2009. Drive a couple times a week. Transmission has went out 5 times now including this morning. Was told by a coworker that theres ab issue with the dodgers not circulating fluid when idling in gear.??? Either way this will be the 5th time in 10 years taking it to get rebuilt!!!! Which has been 2,500.00 to 4,000.00 each time!!! Really bout to give up on dodge

The plastics used in the 2002 dodge ram interior are a safety issue. There is widespread evidence across the internet showing the dash breaking apart like mine. It is structurally unsound and dodge should find a safe solution. If i got into an accident sharp shards of dash flying around is more likely to cause injury than the impact of the crash.

Rear end locked up going down highway at approximately 45 mph, sent me sliding into the slow lane and then off of the highway into a driveway coming to a halting stop with my tailgate was still partially in a heavily traveled highway. The driveshaft also dropped down and eventually came completely off and i had to call a roll back to come get truck. I have had this 2002 truck for the past 11 years and i have never been notified by dodage that this could be a major issue. All in all it has been a good truck. This incident really scared me, as i work out of this truck with my business and now i have to suffer a loss for not being able to work until i spend a good some of money to fix this issue so i am able to use it again.

Blows heat only on passenger side vents. Blows cool air on drivers side.

I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 p/u truck. I'm aware that it's out of warranty. I plan to keep this truck until i die. The dashboard is completely damaged. I now have a dash cover over it. And it's seem to be falling in as well. Please consider replacing my dash since it's the wrong material on all 3rd gens were made out of polyvinyl chloride. As time passes they dry out and crack. Causing pieces to fall inside causing problems with the blower and electrical system. I plan to travel from san diego ca to chicago ill. In august in my truck, i can't put anything on the dashboard without the fear of damage or malfunction to the electronics or other parts underneath.With liquids or more plastics falling inside or passing though the the dash cover its not water proof or water resistant please help... Please help save my truck, please and keep me safe on the road.

Craked dash, sharp metal and sharp broken chunks of plastic that used to be a dashboard. Not safe to drive this way! The parts if available are exspensive, why is this not recalled replacing using better safer products.

Knock on my door from the fire department, said my truck burned up. It was not driven that day. Any electrical recalls for this vehicle? *tr

I have 2002 dodge ram 1500 with a cracked dash which is bad the cracks started out small and now there are several. In the event of an airbag deployment what is to stop this dash from separating and causing life threatening injuries. Dodge needs to recognize this as a major safety concern and recall for replacement. *tr

All the sudden all rear lights went off took to garage they couldn't tell what was wrong after paying to find out nothing and they having truck for 2 days and dead battery from trying a bunch of [xxx], i brought it home and started to try for myself it was the fuse box of all things i have never in my life heard of having to replace fuse box about 500.00 , and dash is cracked all over the place priced to replace cost about 700.00 i will wait to see if they are going to replace it already had to get defroster vent fixed from stuff falling in there ,i have seen a lot of owners complain about these things going wrong but i thought one more my make a difference . I would hope that this is recalled before some one gets injured and all so the back door wiring on both sides went bad had to repair they i would thing that is a fire issue but who am i the consumer we don't know anything that's why i a women fix my own truck. Hope something is done about these problems.. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr
