general problems of the 1999 Dodge Ram 2500

This vehicle is very seldom driven, once a week 1/4 mile. It is parked with a windshield cover across windshield to protect dash. The dash is completely falling apart in pieces. It began with small hairline cracks, then pieces began to fall in. It appears that a defective material was used to make the dashboard. The plastic has turned into a ceramic type material. Now huge pieces are falling in. I ordered a dashboard cover when the problem first began but before it has even arrived I am concerned that there won't be anything left to place the cover on.

Multiple fissures are developing in the dash and the structural integrity of the entire console is questionable.

Thinking this was sun damage, I installed a dash cover to prevent further cracking however, the dash has continued to fracture in several places. I fear that if the air bags were ever to deploy, the cab would be filled with shrapnel and shards of plastic from the dash. In researching the automotive forums on the internet, I found this to be extremely common among these trucks.
