I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT. TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT I BROKE IT AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. OVER TIME SINCE THE DASH HAS CRACKED IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH AS WELL AS A HUGE CHUNK MISSING RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CAUSES A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A WRECK. THERE IS  EXPOSED WIRING IN THE DASH THAT MAY SHORT OUT, DUE TO PARTS OF THE DASH FALLING ON IT OR THE HEAT OF THE SUN. THIS MAY CAUSE EITHER THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, WIPERS NOT TO  FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING USE IN RAINY CONDITIONS, OR THE HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING DURING THE NIGHT THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH INJURING AN OCCUPANT. I HAVE ALREADY NOTICED SUN FADING ON THE WIRING. I KEEP IT COVERED WITH A TOWEL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SUN EXPOSURE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEEP IN MY GARAGE MOST OF ITS LIFE. THERE ARE 5 DODGE RAM'S IN MY FAMILY AND THEY ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THESE TRUCKS AND IS NOT MY FAULT. I PAID OVER 22,000 DOLLARS FOR THIS TRUCK IN 2000 AND IT ONLY HAS 135,000 MILES ON IT. I KEEP MY VEHICLE VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEAN . EVERY DODGE RAM ON THE ROAD THAT I SEE HAS THIS ISSUE. SO THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE ALL HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE IN THE PRESENT CONDITION . I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING HURT BY THIS ISSUE FOR IT TO GET RESOLVED. THE RESOLUTION: IT IS MY OPINION THAT  THE NTSB MAKE DODGE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DASHBOARD PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEIR LOCAL DEALER. THE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NOT COST TO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER/PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORIST AROUND THE SUBJECT VEHICLE.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1999","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"RAM 1500","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
