I bought my 99 Dodge Ram new in tucson, AZ. Within a couple of months I bought a carpet dash cover to protect the dash from the sun. Have not looked under cover till truck experienced heater core problems. Took truck in to get part fixed and was informed my entire dash was cracked. I never used protective chemicals like armoral or removed the dash cover, so sunlight/chemicals should not have caused this problem. As with other people with this "Dodge dash crack" problem I have lost my right front speaker and other electronic equipment appears to be having issues. Nothing specific yet except for the speaker. Have appointment for truck, but don't expect much as my truck is sitting at 64,000+ miles and it is a few years past warranty. Am concerned that the dash could be causing electrical problems which could lead to fire or air-bag deployment.

: the contact stated there was an odor of anti-freeze present in the vehicle a few days after the date of purchase. Two days ago anti-freeze leaked through the heater vents in the floor of the vehicle and the windows fogged after the engine warmed for a few minutes. There were no other warning indicators, other than the odor, prior to the failure. The contact inspected the engine and discovered the heater core was ruptured. A hose was attached to bypass the heater core and the vehicle was not inspected by a dealer.

The blend air door broke. This caused the defroster and heater to cycle hot and cold which fogged up the window while driving. When this occurred the drivers visibility was reduced.
