I have a 03 Dodge and my dashboard is cracking, Dodge will do nothing to rectify the problem of which they know they have. Once it begins cracking if you are in a wreck the plastic pieces will act as a flying projectile and could harm someone.

I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 pick up truck and the dash board is severely cracked and falling in. These pieces of hard, sharp plastic could become projectiles in a collision and/or interfere or damage the airbags underneath the dash. This is a serious problem and could be very dangerous. There are many people have the same problem with their Dodge trucks. These are not just small cracks. There are large holes where the dashboard has actually caved in.

2003 Dodge Ram 3500 dash cover has cracked and shattered. There have been not collisions, etc. With the truck, it just started cracking. Then the local dealership took it out 3-4 times to attempt to repair a heater core and A/C problem. Each remove/replace cycle resulted in additional damage. Currently, two completed cracks through the entire dash, running parallel with the frame. The forward portion with the defrost vents is also cracked and 5 of the 7 vents are damaged or totally missing. Nothing has ever been placed on this dash heavier than a baseball hat, it has no scratches of dings. The edges of the cracks and resulting holes in the dash are sharp and would cut any exposed skin that came into contact with them. I would hate to be in any collision with this vehicle as dash plastic would be flying everywhere. I repeat, there have been not collisions or crashes with this vehicle.

I feel that the cracked plastic dashboard on my 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 laramie goes beyond a cosmetic issue into the realm of a possible major safety concern. The dash pieces that break off could fall down and pinch wiring, cause the fan to jam, etc which can cause a potential fire while driving down the road. This did not personally happen to me but I have read about Dodge trucks catching fire with no definite cause determined through investigation.

2003 Dodge Ram 3500 pick up truck... the dashboard is severely cracking. The dashboard starting cracking in Nov 2009 starting off as a small crack. Now in March 2010 the dashboard is cracking everywhere. Was told by a dealership in 2009 the dash was $500. Now dealership in March 2010 saying dash N/a in the usa. Spoke w/ Dodge Corp lodged a complaint. Told by dealership April 2010 that new dash is around $1800 because new dashboard and duct work area needed (that a new system of dash/duct are now being used.) this indicates that there is a problem on the dashes that Dodge Corp is a ware of - but not enough concern to issue recall. This is a known problem with all Ram from '98 to '03 - there are complaints listed on the internet and on the news (channel 6 news, orlando, fl 2007 and wlbt3, ms 5/2008). The cracking dashboard can act as shrapnel in an accident causing serious injury. The exposed wires in the sunlight can cause malfunctions while driving which can lead to an accident.

Even though I have taken care of my vehicle, the dashboard has several cracks in it. The dealership will not help me. They say I must purchase a new dashboard for about $700. I have other friends with the same type of vehicle and they also have cracks. Shouldn't there be a recall? my dad's 93 Chevy is fine.
