Dashboard on 2003 dodge ram is cracking really bad now. I've owned since it was new and have 68k miles on it. I have researched and this is a huge problem with all dodge rams. No matter who, how many times I call they say it's normal wear and tear which is complete non-sense. Google this topica and there are thousands of threads and issues noted out there. I can't believe dodge dealers, their 800 numbers etc. Just dismiss and don't do anything about it. It needs a recall!
I own a 2003 dodge ram 1500 pickup. Unexpectedly, a major crack has occurred on top of the dash. There was no impact or force put upon the dash, it just seems to be cracking on its own. The cracks are causing very sharp edges where a serious cut can occur if a person's hand or finger goes across it.

The dashboard of my 2003 dodge ram 1500 laramie, cracked in half with one loud pop. I now see many such complaints on the internet. My insurance is paying for the replacement because it occurred while I was driving, but I now believe this is a factory defect that should be covered by the vehicle's warranty. My truck was purchased brand new and now only has 42000 miles.
Dodge dashboard cracking and falling apart.
Cracked dashboard on my 2003 dodge ram is a safety hazard. Dodge has not recalled the problem.
The complaint is regarding the dashboard on a 2003 dodge ram. It is completely cracked and is falling apart. Everytime I hit a bump on the road the pieces fly off and land all over the vehicle. This is a major safety issue and is happening to thousands of dodge vehicles, especially the dodge trucks. I've been trying to contact dodge to attempt a resolution to this problem, but I keep getting the run-around and the dodge dealers want nothing to do with the problem. I wonder what its going to take to have this problem addressed by either dodge or the government?????????. How many injuries have gone unreported that have occurred as a result of shoddy construction and materials?. This a serious problem that needs to be looked into soon!
The dashboard on my dodge truck is cracked completely in two. It is a crack that has progressed over a year or so from a small crack to now being completely in two. I also have minor wiring issues that may be attributed to it as well.
2003 dodge ram. The dash board is cracked in three places. I've talked with my dealer they say they split the cost with me, but it's not covered by dodge at all. The dash board is cracked in three places. I've talked with my several people with this same problem and it looks like the 2001's have had the same problem. I think dodge should be looking in to this.

I have no idea to what caused the failure, I have 2 chrysler products and both have the same issues, nothing has been done yet I am trying out what do I need to do. The dashboard is cracking.
The dash in my 2003 dodge ram with 40,000 miles on it has large cracks in several places and getting worse. Earlier this year a piece of the dash fell in a AC vent and wedged the AC close in the dash, I had to pay over $150.00 to repair the AC, only to find out it was also due to the cracked dash. I have called dodge and was told that the truck is no longer in warranty and it was now my problem because as of now there are no recalls for this problem.
The dash board on my 2003 dodge ram is cracking and collapsing. It is getting worse by the day it seems and I am afraid that the pieces will fall inside the dash and cause a fire or affect my steering or electronics. Please help.

My dash cracked and large pieces of plastic has fallen into the void. Im afraid these jagged pieces may cut someone or cause damage to wiring below.
My dashboard is cracking very badly. At first I thought it was because of the way I drive but I found out that many people who drive this vehicle are having the same problems. Dodge should pay for this because it is a defect in the manufacturing of the item.
My 2003 dodge ram 1500 dash is cracking really bad. It has been doing this since the beginning of this year. I feel that if the plastic breaks into pieces they could cause bodily harm. If you are traveling at a high rate of velocity and come to a rapid stop or impact an object it may cause a piece of plastic to break off of the dash and fly into a person potentially harming them and or causing death. There are many complaints about this issue and it needs to be looked into as to why this is happening. Thank you marco.
Cracked dash. Nothing has been replaced yet. I was told this is a very common failure in this model vehicle.
Like many other dodge ram owners, mine (2003) has a cracked dashboard on the passenger side that extends over most of the dash. Less than 40k miles and already showing defects? To me that is not acceptable.
Dash board material has hardened and is coming a part. 1.concerns over the hardness of the material causing excessive head injury. 2. Concerns over air bag deployment accidental (due to dash board fatigue, and or flying dash board debris upon deployment of air bag or bags.
Dash cracking in 2003 dodge ram 1500. Warranty does not cover trim. After conducting research, '01 and up rams have a problem with the dash falling apart.

Dashboards on dodge ram's are cracking, I'm experiencing this with my truck. I've also found a website called carcomplaint.com and also found that there were 43 other people that had the same complaint. We all feel that chrysler needs to do right by us. They will repair at out expense starting at $700.00. This is rediculous and it seems the manufacturer will only listen to you. Please, is there anyway you can help us. Thank you. Gaspare bruno
Purchase dodge ram 1500 quad cab used in september 2006. Did not have problem with dashboard until august 2007. Dashboard is cracked in 3 separate places the worst being all the way from the defrost vent to the front of the dash above the passenger airbag. I have done nothing to fix it as of yet. I have noticed that there has to at least be thousands of people having this problem and I am waiting for dodge to step up and fix the problem before I pay out of pocket myself.
