“On 1/27/2018 my dash board shattered while I was attempting to wipe clean it with moist towel. I bought this vehicle used from Dodge dealership in june 1998 with 45120 miles. At present it has only 83000 approx. The vehicle at the time was stationary. I have the photos, unfortunately I do not know how to upload it.”

“The entire dashboard is crumbling leaving sharp plastic fling arond and open wires in the dash net issue the dash is actually disintegrating to dust called no help out of warranty we have other cars that are older and no such problem has ever make our dash turn to dust .”

“The dash on my 1996 Dodge began to crack after multiple months the dash began to collapse in on itself. It has the potential to cause serious electrical failure due to sharp pieces cutting wires and vacuum hoses when they fall in. However the major problem is the damage may not be noticeable until the equipment is needed to be used I.e. Airbags, turn signals, reverse lights, etc.”

“I own a 1996 Dodge RAM 1500. The dashboard has multiple cracks and pieces are starting to fall into dash cavity. I know of other Dodge owners that have experienced the same problems, as this does not seem to be a year specific problem, but it does seem to be a Dodge specific problem. I have not learned of any other pick-up owners of other manufactures whose dashes are cracking and caving in. This problem could lead to other safety issues as direct sun light is able to access other electronics and wiring systems.”

“Cup holders in my 1996 Dodge pu are not safe. Drinking cup or cups have tipped over when cornering or turning and have resulted in very hot spills on my lower leg.”
