6 reportsDASH BOARD HAS CRACKED, HOLES, SPLITTING. WORRIED THAT AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY NOTICED PROBLEM ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO -- BROUGHT TO DEALERS ATTENTION - BUT TOLD IT WAS COSMETIC -- WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT. IT WOULD COST ME $1500+ TO REPLACE.
DASH BOARD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON OR ABUSE. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED AND THAT I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE DASH TO CRACK AND BREAK. AT THIS POINT DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. *JB
THE DASH HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DEFROSTER DUCT TO THE TOP OF THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF DODGE RAM TRUCKS. *JB
