The dash on my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 is cracking. These are not cracks from the sun. Two cuts/cracks appeared suddenly and a third about a week later. They look like cuts that were made with a saw blade. Parts of the dash over the air bag are loose and flopping around. The edges are sharp and can lead to a person cutting them selves. I'm afraid that in an accident the air bag would not properly deploy. The dash is an intrical part of the cabin structure. This is not an isolated case as I've found hundreds on the internet.
