BOUGHT A 2001 DODGE QUAD CAB SPORT 4X4 IN 2003. THE DASH HAD A SMALL CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE CRACK SPREAD RAPIDLY TO ALL AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD. I USED PROTECTANTS, ADHESIVES AND DASHBOARD SHADES AND A DASH PAD TO PREVENT FURTHER SPREAD TO NO AVAIL. DURING ONE EVENING…
IN TRAFFIC GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH, THE DASHBOARD CAVED IN. LOOSE PIECES EVERYWHERE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS HAD AFFECTED THE ELECTRONICS OR NOT AT THE TIME. I JUST HAD TO PULL OVER AND CUT THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY SO FAR, JUST SOME MINOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HERE AND THERE. I AM…
AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF DASH CRACKING, THE DASH CAP FINALLY GAVE UP AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD. SEVERAL PIECES HIT PASSENGERS FACE. NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED BUT ENOUGH TO CONCLUDE THAT IT POSSES A SAFETY THREAD AND DASH BOARD SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DODGE. *TR
