1999 Dodge RAM 1500

I OWN A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 1998. IN 2003 THE DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING, AND IT NOW LOOKS LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE. CHRYSLER SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS UP. EVERY DODGE RAM FROM 98-01 THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK REPAINTED AT HILL-KELLY DODGE IN PENSACOLA FL IN 2004 BECAUSE IT WAS PEELING. THE CLEAR COAT IS NOW COMING OFF OF THE ROOF, AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT PAINTED IT SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME SINCE IT WAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO. IF YOU COULD PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL. THANK YOU *TR

I OWN A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. THIS PAST SUMMER THE DASH BOARD JUST STARTED CRACKING AND THE DASH BOARD PIECES ARE FALLING OUT CONSTANTLY. I NOW HAVE ONLY A PARTIAL DASHBOARD LEFT WITH HOLES IN IT BIG ENOUGH TO PUT YOUR HANDS THROUGH. EVEN WHILE I AM DRIVING, SMALLER PIECES WILL POP OFF THE DASH AND SHOOT AT ME. I AM READING COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THE EXACT SAME THING, O I KNOW IT'S NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO ME. *TR

BOLT ATTACHING LOWER SHOCK MOUNT TO LOWER A-ARM HAS TO GREAT A THREADED LENGTH CAUSING THE THREADS TO BEAR ON THE LOWER A-ARM, CAUSING THE THREADS TO BE GROUND DOWN AND THE HOLE IN THE A-ARM THROUGH WHICH THE BOLT PASSES TO BE FRETTED AND ENLARGED EXCESSIVELY. THE WEAR OF THE A-ARM COULD RESULT IN CRACKING OF THE A-ARM DUE TO FATIGUE. WEAR OF THE BOLT THREADS COULD CAUSE EXCESSIVE BENDING OF THE BOLT AND PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BOLT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH 64,000 MILES. JUST RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DASH DEVELOPED A CRACK THAT GREW IN LENGTH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NOW THERE IS A NOTHER CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE GOES FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THE DASH. THE OTHER ONE ISN'T THAT BIG BUT IT IS STARTING TO GET BIGGER. *TR

GOT MY TRUCK FEB.14,2000 AND IN 2001 I HAD TO START REPLACING FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKES. I DID THIS APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES A YEAR. IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE THE ONES ON DRIVERS FRONT WORE OUT OTHERS WHERE FINE. ON OCT.12,2004 A RAINY NIGHT GOING HOME THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHIMMY WHEN I USED BRAKES. WHEN I WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON FRONT AND THREW TRUCK INTO EMBANKMENT NOW WIFE MESSED UP HER NECK DUE TO IMPACT. I DID NOT FILE REPORT CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WAS AT FAULT. THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT. I CONTINUED REPLACING PADS UNTIL RECENTLY. ON JULY 28,2008 I CHANGED EVERYTHING EXCEPT BRAKE BOOST AND MASTER CYLINDER. THE SHIMMYING IS BACK AFTER 3 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE PULLS WHEN I USE THE BRAKES AND WILL THROW YOU INTO OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THROUGH THE YEARS AS I TRIED TO REPAIR THE TROUBLE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT AM TIRED OF REPLACING PADS. I HAVE NOT FIXED BODY DAMAGE FROM 2004 TILL I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE HAD OTHERS TELL ME OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DODGE TRUCKS. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS? *TR
