1999 DODGE RAM 2500: THE COMPLETE DASH ASSEMBLY IS CRACKING AND FLAKING INTO PIECES ALONG THE TOP COVER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND FROM THE CLUSTER TO THE WINDSHIELD. FEATURES ARE CRACKING ALONG THE LOWER SECTION OF DASH, ALSO, FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS WILL SOON EFFECT THE STRUCTURAL HOUSING AREA AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE SRS AIRBAG MOUNTING. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE SRS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WIRING HARNESS BEING DAMAGED OR FAILING DUE TO SHARP EDGES OF THE PLASTIC IN THE DASH ASSEMBLY. IF THE SHARP EDGES CUT THE WIRING AND THE CUT WIRE EDGES RUB TOGETHER, THIS WILL CAUSE A PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE SRS AIRBAG. THERE IS ALSO A CONCERN OF THE MAIN DASH HARNESS BEING DAMAGED FROM SHARP EDGES AND CAUSING THE POSSIBILITY OF A SHORT BETWEEN VOLTAGE AND GROUND CIRCUITS TOUCHING CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEATING OF SHORTED CIRCUITS AND CAUSING FIRE IN THE BRITTLE PLASTIC AREAS. *TR

MY 1999 DODGE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AND MONTHS LATER PIECES ARE BREAKING AWAY AS I CLEAN IT. IT IS SO BRITTLE I CAN'T TOUCH IT ANY MORE. I ALWAYS USE A SUN SHIELD AND ALWAYS LEAVE MY WINDOWS CRACKED OPEN TO ALLOW PROPER AIR FLOW TO PREVENT ISSUES FROM HAPPENING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. "COME ON DODGE" WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE IS…

MY 1999 DODGE DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AND MONTHS LATER PIECES ARE BREAKING AWAY AS I CLEAN IT. IT IS SO BRITTLE I CAN'T TOUCH IT ANY MORE. I ALWAYS USE A SUN SHIELD AND ALWAYS LEAVE MY WINDOWS CRACKED OPEN TO ALLOW PROPER AIR FLOW TO PREVENT ISSUES FROM HAPPENING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. "COME ON DODGE" WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE IS THIS. I'VE HAD MANY OTHER TRUCKS WITH WAY MORE MILES THAN THIS AND HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR. THIS IS THE SIGN OF POOR QUALITY!!! DO TO THE FACT THAT DODGE IS TURNING A BLIND EYE ON THIS PROBLEM I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN. *TR
