I HAVE A 1999 DODGE CUMMINS WITH THE "TYPICAL" CRACKED DASH. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH THE CRACKED DASH. I HAVE GONE TO MANY JUNK YARDS TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR IT (SINCE DODGE WANTS TO MUCH) AND EVERY TRUCK I HAVE FOUND IS IN THE SAME CONDITION, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM. SOME DASH'S HAVE EVEN COLLAPSED BECAUSE OF THESE CRACKS. *JB

THE DASHBOARD ON OUR 1999 DODGE RAM BEGAN FALLING APART IN 2002. CHUNKS OF THE DASHBOARD HAVE COME COMPLETELY OFF WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING TOTAL BLACKOUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN ADDITION, SEVERAL SPEAKERS NO LONGER FUNCTION AND THE TILT STEERING WHEEL CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS WHEN IT IS NOT IN IT'S HIGHTEST POSITION. WE ASSUME A PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME LODGED IN THE TILT MECHANISM AND IS PINCHING WIRES. THE DEALERSHIP DENIED MY REQUEST TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT THEIR COST BUT OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD BUT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME OVER $500. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO TOTALLY OFF. I AM TRULY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS I MAY BE PASSING ON THE ROADWAYS. *TR
