Tl*the contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the defroster is inoperative, which reduces her visibility. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the evaporator box. One year later, the failure resurfaced. She took the vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that they could not identify the cause of the failure. Currently, the remedy has not been identified to properly correct the failure. The manufacturer referred her to a dealer. The failure mileage was 60,000 and current mileage was 71,000.

The dashboard on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck has cracked and I believe may be affecting my control panel (odometer and speedometer). I went to drive my truck one afternoon and the whole control panel wasn't working. I also have some kind of fumes coming from my vents whenever I turn on the air conditioning, heat or defrost which may be related to the dashboard also. My defrost doesn't work at all due to the cracks in the dashboard because the air isn't going where it is supposed to go.

2001 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 v8 dashboard cracked into multiple parts. The crack literally happened all at once while I was driving. It sounded like a firecracker exploded. Nothing was placed on the dash and I use a windshiled sun deflector to keep the dash from getting hot yet it still happened. Anything I place on the dash now will fall into the inner workings of the dash. I have had some strange wiring/electrical problems since the incident all within the dash. With the cracks around the vents, the defrost does...

Driver's mirror does not heat up to melt snow/ice in winter. *Nm

The windshield wiper heat supply was not adequate enough to melt snow and sleet before it accumulated. Which resulted in poor visibility. *Ak the problem occurred at low and high speeds. Heat ducting in the dash was due to poor design. Ice and snow accumulation restricted the drivers vision. *Scc *jb

The consumer noticed the driver side windshield wiper floated over the rain, which resulted in poor visibility. Jb ph *jb

THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS FELL OFF. *JB

Windshield has moved over a bit to the point where when it rains and water will leak into vehicle, causing rust to appear on floorboard. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.*Ak

There is vibration when hitting a bump at 60-65 mph. Dealer has replaced front tie rod.But, it has not remedied the problem.*Akconsumer adds that this is not just vibrations but intense ascillations that alternate left to right. The bouncing makes the vehicle difficult to control and will not subside until broughtr to a complete stop. Upon checking several times, the tires were choppy and needed replacing, the track bar needed replacing, and a special part for the tie rod was ordered, also the left mirror was not heating, also the clock spring was replaced, also tires were showing wear.. *Jg

Steering column problems have been reported 5 times, repaired 4 times in which the clock spring (safety recall 982) was replaced 2 times. Left outer mirror vibrates at highway speeds impairing visibility when merging with traffic. Truck is not safe for highway use. *Jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***764311

Rearview side mirrors vibrate. Took to dealer ,and dealer iwas aware of problem, but didn't have remedy. Please add vin. *Ak

Windshield wiper arm picks up off windshield at 70mph without wind. When there is wind windshield wipers pick up off windshield at a slower speed. Took to dealer and dealer replaced 3 sets of blades and 2 wiper arms, but problem still exists. Please add vin. *Ak

Vehicle was parked when it caught on fire in the engine compartment, vehicle has had problems with the windshield wiper motor, claim 01-6315-258. *Slc

Drivers side and passengers side mirrors shake/vibrate at highway speeds making it difficult to see approaching traffic.Eventually this will cause a accident. I returned the vechicle to the dealer and had the drivers side mirrior replaced but this replacement suffered from the same shaking problems at highway speeds.I told the service rep. But he said they all ( dodge pickups 1500-2500 series) suffer from the same problem and they are waiting for a tsb on the problem. I also have a friend with the same truck and the same problem.*Ak

Consumer was traveling about 45mph on road and without prior warning driver's side mirror came off. Dealership was aware of problem this mirror was tow package mirror that fell off.*Ak

A rock hit the windshield directly below the windshield wipers, over the next couple days the small chip (size of an pencil eraser) began to spread and is not about 12", the consumer feel this glass is of poor quality. Nlm

While traveling at highway speed side mirrors shake, causing poor visibility. *Ak consumer states dealer has replaced mirrors threee times and dealer refuse to fix or investigate any further, there is a front end noise in suspension while driving over speed bumps, springs,sjocks and sway bar was replaced and the noise stopped for two weeks and reoccured, engine idling rough, poor gas mileage, found that spark plug misfired, engine stalls when in gear consumer also states seal around windshield is loose windshield had to be replaced..*Jb

Problem #1: front suspension bottoming out on speed bumps, and at low speed bumps. Vehicle frame is smacking down on top of axle. Front suspension bushings wearing out prematurely. Problem #2: driver door mirror glass loose. Dealer installed new mirror, still loose, ordering a second mirror. Problem #3: engine shakes at start up and while idling. Also gas mileage has not improved.*Ak

For no apparent reason, passenger's door window exploded with tremendous force sending a shower of shards of glass throughout the cab.*Ak

When driving at 75 mph on highway there was a loud sound like an explosion, rear window shattered. This has happened at least seven times. Dealer has been contacted. *Ak
