MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK ABOUT A YEAR AGO SO I PURCHASED AN AFTERMARKET COVER. IT DID NOT STOP THE CRACKING AND NOW THE TOP OF THE DASH HAS SHATTERED AND IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHARP AND POINTED PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL INJURY IN A CRASH, PARTICULARLY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

NHTSA complaint #10380850 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE
I PURCHASED MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 USED WITH A CRACKED DASH. THE ORIGINAL OWNER STATED IT CRACKED THE SECOND YEAR HE OWNED IT WITH ONLY APPROXIMATELY 33,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS ON ALMOST EVERY DODGE RAM TRUCK MANUFACTURED FROM 1998-2006 AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS FILED ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH EVERY CONCEIVABLE REGULATING AGENCY. NOTHING TO DATE HAS BEEN DONE! THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE REGULATING AGENCIES HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!! I HAVE ALREADY HAD PIECES OF THE DASH FLY INTO MY EYE WHILE DRIVING! WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN OR THE DEFROST IS IN OPERATION, SMALL PARTICLES FLY OFF AND INTO YOUR EYES CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION!!! DODGE WILL DO NOTHING UNLESS ORDERED TO BY A REGULATING AGENCY--THEY ARE ALL ABOUT PROFITS OVER SAFETY!!! THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO FILE THESE COMPLAINTS OR ACT UPON THEM SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED SOLELY ON THE NUMBER OF "PERSONAL INJURIES" AS MANY WILL GO UNREPORTED OR NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT-SUCH AS MINE HOWEVER, THE CHANCE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION IS VERY REAL!! IT CAN BE AVOIDED WITH A RECALL THAT IS MORE THAN LONG OVERDUE!!!

CRACKING OF DASHBOARD, AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND NUMEROUS OTHER SITES IT APPEARS TO BE A TREND THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I HAVE CUT MY HAND ONCE ALREADY ON MINE AND THERE IS NO TELLING HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALSO.

STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD IN MY 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 DEVELOPED A SMALL CRACK ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND HAS RECENTLY SPREAD INTO A MAJOR BUSTED UP DASH. ALSO, ALL THE OTHER INTERIOR PLASTIC COMPONENTS MUST BE MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE DASH AND ARE JUST AS BRITTLE.

STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 PICK UP TRUCK. THE DASH HAS A MAJOR CRACK FROM THE DEFROSTER VENT TO THE AIR BAG COVER. I CAN LOOK INTO THE CRACK AND SEE EXPOSED WIRES. I ALSO HAVE A CRACK STARING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, STARTING AT THE DEFROSTER VENT AND IT IS GOING TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT MUCH, BUT I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF DODGE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I WERE TO GET INTO A WRECK THAT THE DASH COULD BREAK AWAY OR SHATTER SENDING SHARP PLASTIC PIECES FLYING INSIDE THE TRUCK. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT" IT IS A 10 YEAR OLD TRUCK, WHAT DO I EXPECT". I FIRST NOTICED THE CRACK IN 2003 WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. IT HAD 23000 MILES ON IT. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT WAS NOT A POWERTRAIN PART. I HONESTLY THINK THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 AND THE DASH IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF THE DODGE AND NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO SHUT OFF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BECAUSE IM AFRAID THAT I COULD BE INJURED BY FLYING DEBRIS IF I WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

STRUCTURE
PURCHASED TRUCK IN DECEMBER AND NOTICED AT THAT TIME THE SPIDER CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. I WILL TRY TO APPLY ADHESIVE AND A MOLDED DASHBOARD TO HOLD IT TOGETHER. EVENTUALLY THE DASH MAY COME INTO PIECES AND PRESENT AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD, SO I WANT TO TRY TO PREVENT THIS WITH THE DASHBOARD KIT.
