I have a 2001 Dodge 3500 and a 2002 Dodge 1500 both of them have extremely bad cracks in the dash. The 3500's dash is the worst of the two it is starting to cave in my fuel level gauge and A/C doesn't work because of the pressure on the connectors. It continues to get worst and Dodge should be held accountable for this.

The dashboard on our 2001 Dodge Ram pickup cracked only after a year. We took it so the dealership in mcalester, ok (riverside Dodge) and they refused to fix it. They said it was not covered under warranty. Now there is an 8 inch hole in the dashboard and numerous cracks over the entire surface and even on the inside trim work. Since first reporting this, it has come to my attention that there are hundreds if not thousands of vehicles exactly like ours with the same problem. We feel that Dodge/Chrysler needs to recall this and take care of this dangerous problem. We have seen and heard of reports on the internet about electrical problems, etc that worries us too.
