I NEVER PUT ARMOR ALL ON THE DASH.(IN A FORUM THIS IS WHAT SOME SAID WHAT CAUSED THE DASH TO CRACK). I'VE HAD 3 TO 4 COMPANY VEHICLES IN 11 YRS AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPENED. I REFUSE TO PAY THE DEALER $800 TO $1000 TO REPLACE. THIS HAPPENED APPROX. 2 YRS AFTER I HAD THE TRUCK. *TR

DASH BOARD IS CRACKING AND BREAKING APART FOR NO REASON, I'M AFRAID PIECES ARE GOING TO FALL IN AND CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. WILL THIS CAUSE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE HOOD POPPED OPEN AND SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD. THE ENTIRE FENDER AND GRILL WERE BENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.

THE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING. THAT IS A SEPERATE FAILURE. THE NEXT FAILURE IS WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RPMS, GUAGES, BELLS CUTS OFF AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WILL NOT RESTART. IT IS NOT CORRECTED AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSTLER, THEY OPTED TO DO NOTHING TOWARDS THE REPAIR.…

I BOUGHT MY 99 DODGE RAM NEW IN TUCSON, AZ. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS I BOUGHT A CARPET DASH COVER TO PROTECT THE DASH FROM THE SUN. HAVE NOT LOOKED UNDER COVER TILL TRUCK EXPERIENCED HEATER CORE PROBLEMS. TOOK TRUCK IN TO GET PART FIXED AND WAS INFORMED MY ENTIRE DASH WAS CRACKED. I NEVER USED PROTECTIVE CHEMICALS LIKE ARMORAL OR REMOVED THE DASH COVER, SO SUNLIGHT/CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. AS WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS "DODGE DASH CRACK" PROBLEM I HAVE LOST MY RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER AND OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT APPEARS TO BE HAVING ISSUES. NOTHING SPECIFIC YET EXCEPT FOR THE SPEAKER. HAVE APPOINTMENT FOR TRUCK, BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH AS MY TRUCK IS SITTING AT 64,000+ MILES AND IT IS A FEW YEARS PAST WARRANTY. AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASH COULD BE CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FIRE OR AIR-BAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

THIS CRACK HAS GROWN AND SPIDER OUT AND NOW THE ENTIRE DASH IS BROKEN INTO PIECES. I HAVE COVERED THE DASH WITH A PLASTIC COVER BECAUSE DODGE WOULD NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE DASH HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK UNDER MY COVER AND WILL EVENTUALLY CRUMBLE TO PIECES. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
