The dashboard is cracking and caving in on itself as a result the lights go on and off while driving. Several other electrical problems are hapening.

The dash in my truck has cracked from the from to the rear of the dash like alot of the dodgeram have done but yet there has not been a recall for this issue. What is it going to take before anyone does anything about this issue. Is someone waiting to have a airbag go off and send the dash in little pieces or one large piece to cause a fatal accident or what this is a safety issue.

On my Dodge quad cab 2500 front dash, I noticed a small crack starting at near the speaker grill in 2006, and thought it was an isolated case. Over the years since 2006, the front dash has completely failed due to numerous major cracks in all locations and going in various directions. The truck has always been garaged and pieces of the dash now have fallen down to inaccessible areas below the dash. It has been documented for various years that these dashes have been made from an inferior grade plastic prone to cracking and it is a major safety hazard. Because it becomes so brittle and prone to cracking, that during an accident, the dash could shatter and injure the occupants.

Got into truck to take a ride and noticed the dash was cracked in two places. I'm afraid the thing is going fly into the face of someone on the passenger side if I'm in an accident.

Dash began cracking and now pieces falling down while driving. I purchased a replacement from a junk yard and had it installed. Now this one is also cracking and won't be long until its as bad as the original. Dodge wants $800 for a new one and it will cost me another $335 to have it installed. This is ridiculous. What kind of material could possibly have a shelve life of exactly 10 years. Secondly how can the new replacement (that will also have a 10year shelve life) be so expensive? my son drives a 20year old Ford truck and the dash is perfect. I used to love this truck and now we hate it. So frustrating.

My dash board on my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 with only 60,000 miles is falling apart, then it falls little piece of it in my ac vent cause pieces to fly out if you put it on defrost. Very dangerous. Also the whole dash is falling in and if the air bags go off the dash pieces could easily kill or hurt you. The dealer says that it is out of warranty and that's all.

Dash board is cracked in multiple spots.

- Grandview, MO, USA

I purchased the truck with 124,000 miles and noticed the dash was cracked on my drive from Tennessee back to Florida. It makes noise, looks like crap, and keeps me from setting anything on the dash board. This is something that is veryyyyyyyyyyyyy common on Dodge, if not a right of passage. They need to address the issues and step up and take care of Dodge owners. Dodge, you were cheap on the manufacturing, now you need to make it right.

- Hickory, NC, USA

Dash cracked for no reason what so ever. Started with small crack passenger side, now extends up to windshield and air vent register has fallen out because there is nothing there to freakn hold it in place and everybody wants to act this is acceptable equipment failure. You guys need to do the right thing and issue a recall to have these dashes fixed. You borrow money from the government for bailouts while paying yourselves multimillion dollar salaries and putting the screws to the consumer. How do you sleep at night?

- Jefferson, TX, USA

The contact owns a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the dashboard was fractured, causing small fragments to fall into the vents. Once the ventilation system was activated, the contact stated that those small fragments would fly out of the vents and into her eyes. The dealer did not offer any assistance. The manufacturer failed to offer any assistance either since there were no recalls addressing the failure. No repairs were performed. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 180,000.

- Pflugerville, TX, USA

Defective dash plastic started cracking 4 years since new sharp edges safety hazard.

- Pearland, TX, USA

The dashboard in my 2003 has alot of cracks and now pieces are falling into the vents. This is a safety hazard to have pieces of the dashboard breaking off, it's just a matter of time before the entire dashboard caves in.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

All Dodge Ram from 2000-2005 have dash problems. They break and fall apart. They cost around $1500-1800 to get them replaced. They don't tell you when you buy it. So why does the NHTSA not do anything about it. If you have wreck and the airbags deploy, there are sharp edges in between you and the bags. They will cut your face, arms, or worse kill you. Is it going to take innocent people getting murdered by Dodge's negligence for somebody to do something. They are defective. Make Dodge recall the dash and install a new safer one. I do not want people to be killed, including myself and family.

- Jackson, MS, USA

Dash started cracking around 65,000 miles and keeps cracking. The cracks have caused the dash to separate causing the defroster vents not to blow correctly across windshield ( will not defrost). Dash is starting to drop down in different areas which may cause electrical failures or electrical fire. Truck is in pristine condition ( other than dash) with only 80,000 miles.

- Benbrook, TX, USA

The plastic dash cracked resulting in the air conditioner and defroster not operating correctly. Pieces of foam are coming out of the A/C registers and blowing into my face almost hitting me in the eye on occasion. The plastic dash is obviously made of defective material. I have never seen a dash crack into pieces this badly.

- Seadrift, TX, USA

Truck gets a severe wobble when it goes over rough spot in road and the wobble is so severe that it is all a person can do to hang on without wrecking to get the truck slowed and stopped.

- Glasgow, KY, USA

I was driving on a four lane highway at 65-70mph. I heard a loud "snap" noise and notice the dashboard on the passenger side had a 8-12" crack on the top and about a 4-7" on the front, directly in the area of the passenger air bag. This can not be safe! it also displays some poor integrity of construction and/or materials used. Since the incident, the dash has continued to crack and split further. The Dodge dealership turned me away and explained it "wasn't their problem"....
