| I have a 1999 dodge ram 2500 that i purchased new. it has never been in any collision nor sustained any damage. the vehicle is normally parked in a covered location out of the sun and is well maintained. in late 2009 a short crack appeared on the right side of my vehicle dash extending from the windshield towards the passenger seat. several months later several other cracks appeared. as of fall 2012 several major cracks appeared in front of the steering column. the cracks are jagged and sharp exposing occupants to being cut. the dash appears to be rapidly deteriorating and defective and continues to spall. also this cracked dash appears to be a major safety hazard in the event of a collision or air bag deployment. | |||

| This vehicle is very seldom driven, once a week 1/4 mile. it is parked with a windshield cover across windshield to protect dash. the dash is completely falling apart in pieces. it began with small hairline cracks, then pieces began to fall in. it appears that a defective material was used to make the dashboard. the plastic has turned into a ceramic type material. now huge pieces are falling in. i ordered a dashboard cover when the problem first began but before it has even arrived i am concerned that there won't be anything left to place the cover on. | |||

| The dash has broken into several pieces (this is a serious safety issue) and is no longer intact or attached to the mounting areas. it started with one little crack and then larger pieces began breaking free. the edges are very sharp and will cut you. upon any kind of impact to the vehicle, pieces will fly into the eyes, face, body and the driver or occupants will be injured. this is a serious safety issue. the truck is not safe to operate/drive with the dash in this condition. | |||

| 1999 dodge ram 2500 4x4 slt laramie, the dash board is cracked and falling in. i am afraid if i get in an accident the cracked dash will cause electrical problems, or a problem with the airbags to tear and possibly hurt or kill someone. i believe it is a manufacture problem and not the owners problem like chrysler claims when you contact them. my truck has been garage kept for the last 7 yrs and it is still cracking. chrysler claims that if there were a cover on it, it wouldnt crack. i didnt hear of chrysler giving out dash covers to owners who requested them. i believe the company should atleast replace cracked dashes with something safer! | |||
