I think the goverment should do something about it. Nobody wastes time complaint. We've got more important things to do. If we complaint and it's not one rare case. It's a lot of folks with pictures to prove it. Dodge must have used very bad quality abs plastic when manufacturing this part. So what can we expect? I called the dealer and he told me that just the upper dash which is the one where the tweeters are located cost between U$ 189.00 and $400.00 for a piece of plastic that is going to give us the same problem again and again. Government regulatory agencies should demand Dodge to recall all cars and fix this problem once and for all. I will not pay about $800.00 for just two pieces of bad quality plastic. I hope we have a judge or congressman that has a dodge with this same problem so they can feel a little bit of our frustration and maybe they can do something.

I took my truck a 2002 ram 1500 4wd to the dealer in 2003 where it was bought (Sorensen Schade Lake Wales, FL) and asked about a recall for the dash cracks which starting to appear. I was told by a service tech there where no recalls on the dash. As the years (6 years now) have passed the dash now looks like a jigsaw puzzle. My truck was only a year old at the time the cracks started to appear. The cracks now have moved into the front portion of the dash going down into the area where the air bags deploy. I have been a loyal customer of Dodge starting with the Intrepid when the body style was changed in 98 and also. I truly feel as a loyal customer that some sort of fix for this problem should be made.

I also have many crackes in the dash ,I booght the car brand new in 2002, in 03, i noticed the crackes. Today the back of the dash is taken out, it is in many pieces and was falling into the windshild vent holes. There is pieces still in there i cant get out or find. The front part of the dash is cracked in about 4 places i even have a big hole where the cracks meet. I think dodge should replace it. We did not pay all that money so we can have many problems. I realy wanted a ''FORD'' but my wife talked me into a dodge i will never buy a dodge again. Since the cracks are not the only problem with the truck. not to mention 3 recalls allready, 1 of which i still have to take care of.

I have a 2002 doge ram 1500 sport. About a year ago my wife and I were going down the road and she made the comment that I had a crack on the passenger side of the dash. Bull sh---T I said because she likes to mess with me and she knows how I am about my truck. Well I did and about 2 months later another and another. I have 6 big cracks now. I have bought a dash overlay off ebay for about 275.00 and have not put it on yet but will let you know how it goes! My advice to anyone going to buy a new truck is to buy a toyota they are more expensive but worth the money plus have an excellent resale value have you checked your dodge!!! Its like they say, you get what you pay for!!!!!!!! As far as a recall forget it if it doesn't endanger someone's life they are not going to do sh---t about it! This is all I have to say and do about it - you are not the only one that feels like you got the shaft!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the truck from a used lot, everything was perfect on it, and I did not notice the cracks in the dash, I called them up about a week later when I noticed them, they took it back and had it "fixed" they wrapped the dash in vinyl, it looks like sh*t and they wouldn't replace it. I finally went and bought the front piece for right under the windshield and replaced that for $200, while at the Dodge dealership I tried to get quotes on the rear part of the dash and at first I got $1200 just for parts, then when I asked about it again I was told all the parts are out of stock, discontinued, etc. My whole family has driven Dodge since I was young and I'm honestly considering a Chevy or Nissan as my next truck due to how f*cking annoying this problem is and how difficult it is to have it fixed, I just wish I would have known at the time that I first noticed it that it's a common problem.
