Default Do the 2006 Dodges dash crack too?

So, when I traded in my 2001 Ram, it was babied and well taken care of, but the dash was turning into dust, did Dodge fix this problem by 2006? Are the dashes still prone to crack?

i have a friend with an 05 and another with an 04 thats cracked...just armor all it and put your screen up and you will be alright

Our jaguar has two cracked pieces off the air vents from the sun and its inside the garage...so its just something that will happen eventually under the right (or wrong) circumstances

06 dash will not crack (unless you hit it with a very large hammer). They are made from plastics rather than the polyvinyl chloride found in other years.
