Cracked dashes may lead to ripped airbags on deployment(safety issue).
1999 dodge ram 1500 dashboard cracking into large pieces causing sharp edges exposed on the dashboard. Also large pieces falling under dash on top of passenger airbag which could cut airbag. An person can and will be seriously injured from the sharp edges and debris from these manufacturing flawed dashboards.

The trucks dashboard become cracking and has become falling apart. I have had an accident with the truck but this has became in issue before the accident happened.
The dash top on my 1999 dodge ram 1500 pickup cracked into little pieces and fell into the lower half of my dash. When I talked to dodge about this problem they said they could not help me my truck was over the warranty. This should never have happened I drive this truck like a car always taken care of never wrecked or off road. I thought this just happened to mine until I went on the internet and learned there are hundreds if not thousands of us with the same problem. Model years 1997-2003. Please tell me what your going to do for us. Do you know about this ? Will you make this a recall? Will you stand by us? Please let me know. Dodge turned there back on us. Don't let them get away with this. Thank you.
Dashboard cracking.
Cracked dash board, 1999 dodge ram we had it replaced three or four years ago.
Dashboard is cracking and continues cracking - large chunks are falling in below the dash where most crucial wiring is located.
1999 dodge ram dash cracking which could lead to failure of electrical safety functions such as air bags, headlights and windshield wipers. Dodge and dodge dealerships are aware of this problem due to the tremendous number of complaints. Reports of large chunks falling into electrical wiring.
I have a 99 dodge ram 59xxx miles. The dashboard is cracked in multiple places. The truck has a dashmat and have always been parked under a canopy. I never put armor all on the dash.(in a forum this is what some said what caused the dash to crack). I've had 3 to 4 company vehicles in 11 yrs and never had this happened. I refuse to pay the dealer $800 to $1000 to replace. This happened approx. 2 yrs after I had the truck.
Dash board is cracking and breaking apart for no reason, I'm afraid pieces are going to fall in and cause electrical malfunction. Will this cause airbags not to deploy correctly?
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram 1500. While driving 55 MPH, the hood popped open and shattered the windshield. The entire fender and grill were bent. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or mechanic. The failure mileage was 183,000.
The dashboard started cracking. That is a seperate failure. The next failure is when going over any bumps in the road, the dashboard lights, rpms, guages, bells cuts off and if you happen to turn the vehicle off, it will not restart. It is not corrected and after contacting chrystler, they opted to do nothing towards the repair.
I own a 1999 dodge ram 1500 and the dash is cracking all to pieces. I just heard a story about how when this happens the sharp pieces can cut my wiring beneath the dash.
My 1999 doge ram 1500 dash cracked and then exploded into pieces while driving I now have arge holes in the dash with the wiring exsposed.
We own a 1999 dodge ram sport and the dashboard is literally crumbling away. It is severely cracked all over. I am concerned that if we are in a wreck that the pieces will fly off the dash and harm the passengers and that the airbags won't deploy properly. I am also concerned that pieces will fall down into the dash and cause further problems. I haven't done anything to correct the problem yet because I don't have the money.
Same as all other dashboard complaints. Dashboard is just self destructing with large pieces falling into the inside of the dash. Nothing shorted out yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I bought my 99 dodge ram new in tucson, az. Within a couple of months I bought a carpet dash cover to protect the dash from the sun. Have not looked under cover till truck experienced heater core problems. Took truck in to get part fixed and was informed my entire dash was cracked. I never used protective chemicals like armoral or removed the dash cover, so sunlight/chemicals should not have caused this problem. As with other people with this "dodge dash crack" problem I have lost my right front speaker and other electronic equipment appears to be having issues. Nothing specific yet except for the speaker. Have appointment for truck, but don't expect much as my truck is sitting at 64,000+ miles and it is a few years past warranty. Am concerned that the dash could be causing electrical problems which could lead to fire or air-bag deployment.
I purchased my 99 dodge truck in 2001 and have always maintained it. About 2 years ago I noticed a crack develop on the dash. This crack has grown and spider out and now the entire dash is broken into pieces. I have covered the dash with a plastic cover because dodge would not repair the issue. The entire dash has continued to crack under my cover and will eventually crumble to pieces. I think this is a safety hazard.
1999 dodge ram 1500 dashboard falling apart. When I turned the defroster on something flew out and hit me in the face. Later I found a small piece of the dash in my lap. This could have hit me in the eye. Dash is falling completely apart.
Own a dodge ram 1500 (1999). Dash began cracking about a year ago, now it has huge holes where the dash has literally broken off in chunks! I'm concerned that the dash could become a hazard if there were a crash (would it become shrapnel?), will this problem affect the airbags?
1999 dodge ram 1500: the dashboard continues to crack and cave-in. A 10- 12 inch diameter section has cracked and fallen in. Dealer will not repair.
Dash falling apart! My previous vehicle was a 1995 ram and I had the same issue. Obviously this is a consistent problem for dodge. Having had the problem before, I purchased a dash mat from the dealer when I bought the truck but, the dash fell apart anyway.
Dash is all cracked up and needs repaired. Its been getting progressively worse.
Dashboard cracked in half in two places,and cracking more and more each day,one of the big cracks is in front of the air bag. Found many complaints on the web about these dodge dashboards falling apart,this could be a real safety problem I hope something is done about, I know dodge ain't doing nothing about!
Dashboard falling apart. Gaping hole in the middle, and continues to get worse.
Dash covering airbag's deteriorating, seatbelt doesn't rewind, seat back doesn't latch into a secure position. I wonder if the dash will explode on impact and will the shards of plastic cause further injury. During a sudden braking event will the seat back throw everybody in the vehicle into the dash if the seatbelts fail? No injuries yet. Can't afford all the repairs.
My 1999 dodge ram dashboard just seemed to explode one morning in 2006. There were no apparent cracks before incident. Just all of a sudden the whole dash cracked and big pieces of it fell off leaving large holes in the top of dash.
Dash cracking and it may break into small chunks and could put an eye out. Dodge should recall from 98 models to o4 models, this seems to be the most reported year models!!!!!!!
