RE: Cracked Dash
It isn't just that year actually all the years do this. I talked to 3 different dealerships and all told me that it is due to the vehicle being in cold climates. I bought my truck in Cali. no problems the entire 2 years I was there ( trucks a 98 bought 03) moved to Ill. cracked the first winter.

... i dunno i live in northern canada -45 to +35 deg cel (never mind how hot it gets sitting in the sun) and i dont have a crack (corsing fingers, noking on wood) but i have a 98 and i dident think the older 2gens were prone to the dash problem

RE: Cracked Dash
Good news, I sent an email to the dodge ram site, THE NEXT DAY they called me back, unfortunately I wasnt there, my wife talked to them, they sounded concerned.
So I called back and left a message, waiting for them to call me back again.
Also, I was thinking about the dash cracking around the airbag? What happens if you wreck, etc. And the airbag comes out all those small cracked peices go flying? Im concerned about that as well, ill keep it updated here when I get in contact again with dodge, im telling you guys, just try emailing them, calling them, until we get some help, they are bound to have to do something eventually.
Also what about that lady on the news who got hers fixed? They probably only did that because she was on the news. Haha.
