Crack in dash panel started about Aug 2009, it has now became a full blow mess as large pieces have fallen into the wiring harness inside the dash. This could be a hazard if you roll down the window and some smaller pieces fly up into your face, or could set on wires and catch fire. I know of at least two other 1500's that are 98 and 2000 models doing the same thing as mine.

Dashboard on 1999 Dodge Ram pickup has "spiderweb" cracked into many sharp pieces. This started occurring a week go, and has now spread to most of the passenger side of the dash. In the event of a passenger side airbag deployment, I'm concerned that the dash will disintegrate into many more small chunks of shrapnel flying in the passenger compartment.

The vehicle was not equipped with and undercarriage shield. The consumer felt the absence of the shield caused corrosion of many components under the hood. The front shock washer which held the shock assembly in place corroded, the fuel rail corroded and the manifold corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that there was no such part for the truck and if he installed one the trucks warranty would be void.
