The trucks dash has so many cracks in it, that they now have ran into each other and large areas have fallen out. This is a manufacturing defect that Dodge refuses to do anything about. These cracks have been in my dash for years. It is not heat related because I purchased the truck in washington state and was there for several years before coming to california. This is an electrical hazard and a flying object hazard, should I hit someone or they hit me and pieces start flying from the dashboard. …”
