When ridding down the road, I was cut off by another car I turned the wheel to avoid hitting the car and I hit the curb that was about 3 inches high. When I hit the curb my dash board cracked. There is a big hole in the middle, a long crack straight across.I called my insurance company to claim but was denied because of a manufacture default. Dealer said it will cost me about 3,500 to fix. I was only going 7 miles per hour.

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.
