1995 Dodge Ram 1500 with cracked dashboard. The dash started cracking 3-years ago and has now in pieces exposing everything under it. I've never owned a vehicle until now where this has happened. The instrument panel is loose because of this problem.

The dashboard in my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 is caving in. It looks like this is happening to many other people. I believe it is a safety issue, because anything that falls in the sinkhole in the dash could cause a short and electrical fire.

Age, weathered plastic dash board falling apart on my truck. Makes me wonder what may happen in the event of wreck with a cracked dash and no wrecks yet. Nothing cannot find an after market replacement dash board.

Dashboard cracking in the 1995 Dodge pickup. Pieces fell through, but I was able to glue back together, but the cracks continued to grow.

The dashboard cracked and broke. The problem still existed and will require a replacement part. If the same material was used to construct the replacement part, it will surely happen again.

1995 Dodge 1500 Ram pickup truck with a severely fracturing dashboard which is subject to collapse at any time. I am aware there have been other reported problems similar if not identical to this. Other than this, the truck has been meticulously maintained.

About a month ago my Dodge Ram 1500 trucks dash board cracked down the middle from the window to the front edge and all way through, then everyday it just started cracking all over the place, two large pieces are completely cracked out, leaving two huge holes. Now I've a crack going from passenger side to drivers side! I called Dodge and they said no on recall and it would cost me out of my pocket about $400 to replace it, aside from this when the first crack happened my stereo quit the next day and my air conditioning!
