The dash on our 2002 dodge ram quad cab is cracked from the windshield to the outside molding. If I was ever in an accident the pieces would fly off and passengers and driver would sustain serious injury or death. I can't believe chrysler corp has not fixed this know problem. They need to fix the problem and be held accountable. Please please please make them fix it.

I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4x4, very well maintained and was never abused. About 8 months ago I noticed a crack on the dashboard on the passenger side. Within several months one crack had grown to 6 cracks. Then about 1 month ago the air would not flow through the dash vents anymore. In order to find out the problem I had to remove the dash board to get the heat and air system. When I removed the dash board it crumbled into about 20 pcs. Upon inspection of the air problem I found out the blend door that controls the air to the dash was broken. Seems this is a problem. I am now having to replace the dashboard, front and rear pc and the 4 blend doors in the air system. While replacing the shocks I noticed the rack and pinion was leaking extremely bad which has never leaked before. No noise while turning the steering wheel, no warning light to advise of the problem.

2002 dodge ram 1500 . Cracked dashboard . Dash is cracking so bad that it is starting to get holes . Falling plastic with jagged edges . Exposing wires that could possible cause shorts or fires .
I own a '02 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. Dash is cracking while driving, once I hit a pot hole, a piece flew off and hit me in the face. I was lucky that no one was traveling from the other direction. I could have been in a head on collision because I jerk the wheel to the left when the piece hit me under my right eye. I am concern that this is a safety hazard than a cosmetic problem. I bought a dash cover so I would not get hit again, but the weight seems to have accelerated the cracking. The dash part cost over $700 and is made of the same material and the process will repeat. This is a safety issue!! Please look into this problem, thank you.
I have a 2002 quad cab 1500 and the dash has cracked in several places. I now has a crack all the way across the dash.(windshield to the glove box) I own a 1973 dodge dart and the dash is perfect. What is going on with my 2002 dodge 1500?
Top of dash is cracking in numerous places around the defroster openings. This leaves numerous sharp edges on top of the dash.
Dash started cracking at 30,000 miles. Dealership refuse to repair said it was my fault. Texas heat. The dash material is literally disintegrating. Material is defective, have other dodge vehicles that are older and nothing wrong with them and they are older and were never kept in garage.
2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab, dashboard is cracking for no specific reason. Cracks are not just superficial but rather completely through the dashboard structure and therefore should be considered a safety hazard to occupants. Pieces of the dash could become projectiles in the event of an emergency stop or if involved in a collision. There is no substructure to stop pieces of the dash from falling into the interior workings of the cab and perhaps causing instrument failure, fires etc. This default needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured or killed.

Collapsed dashboard.
Dashboard on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab snapped in four pieces while driving over a speed bump. I searched for a dashboard on the internet and found a lot of complaints that this is happening to a lot of dodge vehicles, even some 2006 models. It seems that the plastic that they used to make this dashboards its not durable at all. Thought maybe the south texas heat had caused the dash to weaken, but have also found out its happening in a lot of different zip codes. There is some vehicles that have holes on the dash that are in 18in in diameter, I have become very concerned about this issue, and have contacted chrysler with no success on even taking a look at what happened to my vehicle, they are apparently not doing anything about it. I think with a crash and these dashboards breaking, the pieces are sharp and the airbag deploying it can cause a much larger damage, also with the holes on the dash it exposes the wiring and electronic parts to the intense heat the can cause it to overheat ant catch on fire or malfunction of other electronic parts, I don't know if I am the only one complaining to you guys about this, but something has to be done, please investigate before something tragic happens when one of these vehicles participates on a accident, I fear for my safety and my passengers.
Dodge ram 1500 2002 model dash board falling apart so bad it is now cracking around the air bag area I feel this is a safety hazard and dodge should replace this dash before an accident occurs and someone get hurt because of sharp edges around the dash from falling apart.
I have a 2002 dodge 1500 pickup truck. It has approximately 30,000 miles and has always been garaged. It is in like new condition except for the dash board which has recently formed many hairline cracks. I have been reading on line, motor trend thread, that this is an apparent problem with these vehicles and can develop into grave safety issues. In fact the dashboards in some vehicles have collapsed and have caused electric problems. Also the airbags integrity is questioned. You may have already received complaints from other people regarding this issue. I have contacted chrysler/dodge regarding this problem and have not heard back from them. Please let me know what I can do to assure my families safety? Outside of not driving the truck I am unsure what else to do?
Many cracks on dashboard which could cause safety issue if airbag is deployed. Searching on internet and found many customers with same issue. One florida tv station did a report on this problem in 2007. There needs to be an investigation so a recall can happen.
2002 dodge ram 1500. Dashboard is cracked in multiple areas and caving in. Reported to dodge at 60,000 miles (now 114,000 miles) dodge claimed it was not covered under any warranty. Now the dash is caving in and pieces fly around cabin when sharp movements are made.

The dashboard in my 2002 dodge ram quad cab pick up truck is falling apart. It is breaking off in large sections causing the wires to be exposed. The cost to repair it apx. 2000 dollars. I have seen numerous complaints about this. Why is dodge not being held responsible for a recall on this ??????
Dash cracked.
This 6 year old dodge truck has developed three cracks in the dashboard that run from the front to the back. I believe that the function of my air bags may be affected in a crash due to these cracks. Dodge has indicated that there is no defect in this part and I am responsible for any and all repairs.
