There are literally thousands of complaints about this, but Dodge has refused to issue a recall and fix an obviously defective (and a potentially dangerous) product.  The affected models seem to be from 1998-2006.  It’s no wonder American car makers continue to fight an image of inferiority.  Perhaps it’s not an image but a reality, at least in Dodge’s case.

Dodge trucks are not all they’re cracked up to be, except for their dashboards.

If you own a Dodge with a cracked dashboard there are a couple of things you need to do; however, at this point, it’s unlikely you’ll get a new dash, until Dodge issues a recall.  First, go to Safercar.gov and file a complaint.  Secondly, call Dodge at 800-992-1997 to report your issue.

If you’re looking at buying a Ram, do your research and at least know what you’re getting: likely, a very good truck with a defective dashboard.
