I purchased a dodge RAM 1500 in november of 1999 from a charleston sc dealership. in 1993 the dash began to start cracking and when we showed it to the dealer they said that it was not there responsibility and that it would cost $1000.00 to replace it. after complaining to dodge the repairs where done at no cost to me. after a few short months later we moved to crestview fl where more crack started forming until the point that we had 5 that formed form above the console display and the passenger airbag. due to my concerns that the bag would cause the dash to break apart and cause flying dabrie if deployed I replaced the dash this time at the cost of over $2000.00. after get it back the front speakers no longer work. I have researched this problem and have found that hundreds of other dodge customers are having the same problems and even some are having huge chunks cave in to the dash and wiring that IS clipped and or melted from the exposed sunlight. *Tr
