I have noticed that this is a common problem with Dodge trucks and Dodge should Fix this. The dash boards are a problem that is not problems in other makes.

The dash in my 97 dodge had broken and came apart and it is a common problem with dodges up to the 2002 model. Dodge needs to fix the dashes. They have replaced some for as little as $100.00

Dodge needs to be pestered about a recall for their dash problems. All their plastic in their trucks is garbage. Everything plastic is breaking. It IS a safety issue. A hunk of dash fell in while I was driving. Not only did it scare the sh*t out of me, but it got wedged up in and shorted out my dash lights. Who the piss do I write to to get something done about this???

I went in to work and came out to find my dashboard shattered into several pieces.I have owned this truck since it was new and this is not the first problem with it transmission went out at less than 40,000 miles to.and waserbuilt by dodge then when the warranty expired the frount seal on the tranny started leaking and reverse takes forever to ingauge there are still to many things that were fixed by the dodge people but need fixed again and I dont think I should be the one to pay for sorry workmanship no matter howmany miles I have on my truck which is the dashboard etc.
