Ahh... the joys of changing seasons... has it been a while since you used your defrost?

Is it a continuous white dust? Do you use a white cleaning rag do dust your dash?

I'm kind of baffled by this one, sounds like something got in the vents, unless it could be something coming up from the vent system.

As in REAL white DUST or just like fog? Ive never seen dust come out of a vent before and especially if you use your ducts often. Maybe someone is playing games or tricks with you.

Said it was landing on the dash, which seems more like a dust.

Pics would help here and then post a video on youtube so we can check the density. Dodge doesn't use asbestos do they?

Only way it could be cocaine is if you picked it up from a county auction. Did you get the carfax?

NO ONE uses asbestos anymore. Maybe someone put baby power down his vent to ***** with him as a joke.
