WENT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD OF 7 YRS OR 75,000 MILE.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM LET ME TELL YOU!

ONE LARGE CRACK FROM FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FRONT OF DASH ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF SMALL CRACKS. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 1100.00 TO FIX. WHY SHOULD I DO THAT THE PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE......

THEY SAID TO BAD SO SAD. DODGE DOESN'T CARE. AFTER SEVERAL DEALERS SAME STORY.

At first I though i was one of the only ones experiencing this problem. Then I came across a thread on DodgeTalk.com (The #1 Dodge Community), and saw that there's maybe thousands! I called Dodge, spoke to an overseas customer rep, GOT NO WHERE! Some have been lucky enough to get Dodge to fix there's, but I'm not one of them. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my truck; Ive had it for 7 years so far! I just dont like the poor quality of the interior panels. Dodge could have done BETTER!

Dodge HAS TO FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first it was a tiny hair line crack.

Called dodge, a total waist of time. Not under warranty.

Over time more & more Cracks show up.

I even started using sun screen in the windshield when parking out side in the sun light.

As of today 08-12-2008, there are over 12 cracks, in both sections. Dealer, and national hot line of no help. A long wait kist for replacement. To the tune of $1600. for both sections. There are no aftermarket parts made, only stick on "cover-ups".

I'll never buy another dodge.

I see alot of Dodge owners are having to deal with the cracks in the dash. Well it did indeed happen to me and it sucks. I have several cracks and one big Grand Canyon going all the way from front to back of my dash. People have always compliment me on how will I kept up with my truck and now I have this. I cannot believe this is happening to so many people and Dodge has not done anything to fix it. I have seen pictures of chunks of this cheap plastic coming off trucks. I though I would get a dash cover but what happens when chunks of mine fall out. What is going to keep the dash cover up? I think every time a piece comes off I am going to drive out to the dealership and dump it in the lobby. I hate to say it but this is my last Dodge vehicle. If they can't admit the screwed up with cheap plastic than see ya. I have my Duck Tape on stand by ready to use.

I LOVE my truck, and it is my 4th Dodge, all purchased new. Unfortunately, this is the first one I've kept after paying it off. Now, I have recently had three cracks appear in my dashboard. After reading about complaints other people have had regarding their own dodge dashboards, I am convinced that it is a defective part and Dodge should stand up for this issue. There is no room for this problem, as it is potentially dangerous and may affect the function of the air bags. My local dealer tells me it will cost me around $1,000 for a new dashboard, but before that happens, I will do my own repairs. HELP!!!

I know that Chrysler knows about this problem since 1999, just do a Google search on 1999 Dodge Crack Dashboard, you'll find that you're not alone. I don't think mileage on your truck should be an issue. The issue is a Cracked Dashboard that should be replaced by Chrysler, especially if it's a recall. Any one who rides in my Dodge truck, I always should them the cracks in the Dash and ask them do you really want to buy Dodge.

The product speaks for itself! It's obvious that the dash is a brittle piece of plastic that gets heat stress cracks during those hot days from expansion and contraction! Brittle plastic does not expand and contract, it cracks! C'mon Chrysler, step up to the plate, be honorable for once!

My stepson owns a 2005 Ford Focus and the Dash is made of some firm rubber that shows no signs of cracking and he�s never taken care of it.

You can clean your Dodge Truck Dash and put all kinds of protectants on your Dash, it's going to crack. It's Cheap Plastic! Can anyone tell me if they recalled it yet? Probably not! This is the last Dodge I will ever buy, I hate manufacturers that don't stand by their products.

I now have 2 long vertical cracks in the dashboard of my 2002 dodge I bought in October 2001 and the vehicle has been either garaged or parked under a carport the entire life of the vehicle. the dashboard material plastic composite is not thick enough to endure the sunlight uv rays and becomes brittle which results in easy cracking from exposure. I paid 29,950.00 for this vehicle brand new and not satisfied in numerous defects including the cheap drink cup holder and ashtray fold down design that latches where out in 50,000 miles interior light lenses fall out while driving and the automatic transmission slipping which i have had rebuilt at 78,000 miles

on june 10,2008, i got into my truck to take fellow workers to lunch only to see that my dash had a crack that ran from the windshield completely across the front piece. i work for an engineering firm which we take clients to lunch from time to time in our own vehicles and this is not something you want to have clients who are thinking about giving you projects that are worth millions to see. we pay alot of money for theses vehicles and should not have to worry about something cosmetic such as this going wrong with them. now to only learn that this is going to get worse, and there doesn't seem to be a manufacture fix or responsibility to this problem. i firmly believe that with as many cases there seems to be with this, that Chrysler would step up and figure out a solution to our problem. i also own a 97' dodge ram 1500, and i don't have a problem with its dash cracking, so it appears that they have changed the material being used today and may need to reconsider using a better one. however, i do love my dodge truck, and its reliability, just not the problem of having a dash that is going to continue to crack up.

Dodge should step up and fix this issue. I live in Az(stationed Army) I have three cracks on my dash that are 5 inches long and still going. I though it was the heat but by reading the logs its happening everywhere. I was thinking about an up graded ( 2500 Megacab) after reading this I don't think so. I clean the truck once a week and use my windshield shades all the time. But it is only a 6 year old truck come on. We have never owned vehicles with cracked dashboards. This makes my truck look like pretty bad, come on dodge make things right!
