Dash is cracking and apparently this is a common problem, the underneath support is plastic also and known to fail and collapse, I am concerned if my airbag deployed there would be shards of glass sent into the passengers eyes or worse it would be cut by the sharp plastic pieces and not deploy in an accident at all, this vehicle is garaged and a dash protector used and this issue is all over the internet, I feel Dodge should issue a recall on these faulty plastic dashes.
