Cracking and breaking dash board on my 99 Dodge Ram 1500. Cracking for no apparent reason. Vehicle looks like hell. I will never purchase another Dodge product. This seems to be a very big problem and Dodge is failing to correct the problem. The cracks have been present for over two years now.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with dissintigrating dash board leading to electrical malfunctions. When multiple dealers were asked about the problem the answers given were always "because it is not a mechanical problem, then it is not a warrenty issue." Was also told that since it was not a mechanical problem that it won't be a recall matter unless it might cause a safety issue.

I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab truck. The dash board has 3 cracks that lead from the windshield to airbags and to the cage cluster, and many other small cracks. The cracks have spread further and further in the past months and the dash is starting to raise in some spots along the crack line.

I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 that has a cracked dash. I'm a member of a Dodge enthusiast web site where I have found this to be a common thing. Most member with a 2nd generation Dodge Ram have a cracked dash. With this many people with the same problem it has to be a factory defect.

Dash cracked out of nowhere.

I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4X4 5.9L V8 sports magnum. I E acquired my vehicle around July 2006 and I have noticed since that there is a crack on the dash and gradually cracked all over the places and pieces falling off inside the dash and I'm afraid that those pieces in the dash will fly off at high speed during collision or sudden stop from high speed and would cause injuries to the driver and passenger. I have owned other trucks/vehicles and none of those trucks/vehicle have this crack in the dash. It seems that this particular model/year of Dodge Ram 1500 has an inferior or defect in manufacturing this dash. Do we have to wait for this accident to happen so that we can see if the cracked dash pieces will fly off at high speed and injure the driver and passengers? this cracked dash definitely needs to be replaced by the manufacturer. I've seen some crack dashes on other trucks/vehicles before but those crack does not turn the dashes into jigsaw puzzle and pieces falling apart and flying off the dash itself. My 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4X4 5.9L V8 sports magnum seems to have a crack dash with inferior quality which breaks apart easily and cause possible injuries to the driver and passenger.

The dash of my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 has cracked very bad. To the point I'm afraid it could affect the air bag. Has there been any test on the air bags with the dash being cracked?

Cracked dash on my 99 Dodge Ram. Could lead to airbag deployment?

- Willow Spring, NC, USA

Dash is severely cracked in the area of the windshield and a large crack runs down to the vent beside the passenger airbag. I used (armor-all), sunscreens, lowering the windows slightly to allow heat to escape all with no avail. My concern now is if the passenger airbag deploys, will it send pieces of the hard plastic dash flying? I can't seem to find an original that is not cracked. This is on a 99 Ram and started cracking about 3 yrs. After I bought it.
