2002 DODGE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY FAILED. FALLING IN AND CREATING SHARP OBJECTS IN BEHIND DASH AND ON FLOORBOARDS. PULLED A SHARP SHARD OF PLASTIC FROM MY SONS MOUTH 2 DAYS AGO THAT I HAD MISSED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. THE PLASTIC MADE HIS MOUTH BLEED. I'M VERY GLAD HE DIDN'T TRY TO SWALLOW IT. I HOPE OTHERS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND KEEP THE SMALL OBJECTS FROM THE CHILDREN ALSO!! DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION WHAT ALL THOSE PLASTIC SHARDS WOULD DO IN AN HIGH SPEED IMPACT SCENARIO. PLEASE LET'S GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITH ALL NEW RELIABLE SAFE MATERIAL. DODGE OFFERED ME A FREE DASH THE LAST TIME I CALLED THEM HOWEVER THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR LABOR. THE PRODUCT I ASKED IS THE EXACT SAME AND HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED. I'M NOT PAYING FOR THIS TO JUST HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF IT IS FOR LABOR ONLY. IT ALSO SUGGESTS THEY KNOW IT IS A SEVERE PROBLEM OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE OFFERED THAT TO ME. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2002, MAKE=DODGE, MODEL=RAM 2500). *TR

I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM P U, CUMMINS DIESEL, AND MANUAL TRANS.. AND HAVE REPLACED THE TPU " THROTTLE POSITIONING UNIT" (SENSOR) 3 TIMES NOW, @ A COST OF OVER 700.00 EACH TIME. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, BUT A POTENTIALLY AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THESE TRUCKS. WHAT OCCURS IS A FLUCTUATION , AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE PEDAL, FROM A FLUCTUATING ABILITY, TO AN ALL OUT LOSS OF POWER WHATSOEVER... THE ENGINE WILL ACCELERATE, AND THE IDLE WILL RISE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION, THEN EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL TO THE PEDAL... I USE MY PICKUP TO HAUL AND TOW MANY DIFFERENT TRAILERS, INCLUDING OUR 40 FT. 5TH WHEEL, AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN I LOOSE POWER ALTOGETHER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS UNIT... SENSOR, AS IT IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE, IT IS MORE IMPORTANTLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
