One day in the summer of 2007, I noticed a small crack in the dashboard of my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. Later, many cracks appeared and portions of the dashboard have actually fallen through into the electrical components and gauges. This has caused a few instances of the lights and gauges to malfunction at times.
