THE DASHBOARD IN THE 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 STARTED DEVELOPING CRACKS IN IT A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALER PERTAINING TO THIS, BUT WAS TOLD, "SORRY, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY". THE CRACKS HAVE CONTINUED FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS DESPITE PURCHASING A WINDOW SHADE TO SCREEN IT FROM THE SUN. IF THE CRACKS CONTINUED, ENTIRE PIECES WILL BEGIN TO FALL SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD ONTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AS WELL AS POSSIBLY SPREAD TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG.*AK

1999 DODGE RAM 2500 ENTIRE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND FELL APART. REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED, AND IT WAS USUALLY IN COVERED PARKING. PIECES FELL INTO THE WIRING AND MECHANISMS STOPPING THEIR USE. I BOUGHT AN OEM REPLACEMENT AND IT ALSO CRACKED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VENTILATION CONTROLS BECAUSE A PIECE OF THE PLASTIC WEDGED INTO IT AND BROKE THE LEVERS. ALSO, NOTICED TWO WIRES THAT HAD A SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC BETWEEN THEM ,AND THE VIBRATION HAD WORN AWAY THE INSULATION. I REPLACED THOSE WIRES BEFORE THEY COULD SHORT OUT. *AK

I OWN 2 DODGE RAMS. ONE 1999 3500 AND ONE 2001 2500 HAVE BROKEN DASHBOARDS. THE DASHBOARD HAVE COMPLETELY COLLAPSED WITH LARGE CHUNKS OF BROKEN PLASTIC FALLING THROUGH THE HOLE AND LANDING ON MY FEET WHILE DRIVING. DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF AROUND $800.00 TO REPAIR IT. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ALSO CUT HER HAND ON ONE OF THESE PIECES THAT FELL OUT OF THE TRUCK AFTER I HAD OPENED THE DOOR. THANK YOU. *AK

THE DASHBOARD IN 1999 DODGE RAM 2500 IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN MANY PLACES, AND HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS, AND FINALLY ONE DAY A SECTION JUST FELL IN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS WAS A CONCERN AT THE TIME, AND I WAS TOLD BY DODGE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW ONE. SINCE THE HOLE APPEARED THE WHOLE DASHBOARD RATTLES WHILE I DRIVE . IT IS NOT ONLY IS ANNOYING, BUT ALSO DISTRACTING. *AK
