This is my second complaint regarding dash board. The dash started cracking with just 30,000 miles on truck, when I put in compliant to the federal safety agency. Now 109,000 the electrical, air bags, computer harness wiring are exposed with a intermittent stalling and a guessing game from authorized dodge dealers as to what might be the issues. "undetermined electrical shorts from cracked dash a possibility" "ABS service light stays on, also "undetermined by dealer", "can't track code" "don't drive as airbag might deploy because dash has dash debris from cracks" plus hearing "refuse to service unless replace the dashboard" all these quotes when trying to take to get the truck fixed. Main computer harness intermittent "no bus" can't find shorts! Stalls out on freeway. The glove box even hangs on only one side. Unsafe if airbags deploy. Splintering of remains chards of faulty dashboard plastic, stall on fast lane of 14 freeway in ca had to coast to right side with no power steering lucky the brakes worked and the traffic was light. Short in wire due to exposed dash board.
