I have a 2000 Dodge pickup 1500 and my dashboard is crack, large pieces have broken off. Wire, air vents and other items are exposed in the open and to the sun. I have experience problems with my air condition and radio speakers. I noticed that my dashboard had cracks 5 years ago, I called and email Dodge to informed them of my situation, but they had no recalls and no manufacturing defects that been reported for this problem. But I researched the internet and found many websites stating their concerns and issues with their dashboard on Dodge pickups. I hope this problem can be resolved and that Dodge will take responsibility and acknowledge their mistake with the dashboard for Dodge pickups.
