1 Dash Wiring problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2005

The dashboard on the 2001 Dodge ram with 49,000 miles had cracks all over it. Pieces started to come off. It has not been confirmed yet, but I believed this was the cause of the substance errors due to wiring under the dash getting hot. I am extremely concerned for safety and a potential short which could cause a fire. A dash should not crack after 3-4 years. It started with minor cracks around 2005 and kept getting worse. I have never in my life had any vechile do this but thiswas my first Dodge.
