Description of the problem	In june of 2006 i noticed a hairline crack in the dash of my 2001 dodge ram 1500, which only had 36,000 on it at the time. I did not have it repaired thinking the dealer would just tell me it was usual wear and tear. Since that day the dash has continued to crack and i now have a section where the cracks have connected. It appears there will soon be an area of the dash the size of a softball or larger where there will be a hole. This hole will be directly above the instrumentation. I have recently learned there are hundreds of similar complaints from owners of 1998-2002 dodge trucks. Some of which have experienced electrical problems, such as their headlights going off. This has led me to voice a complaint with carcomplaints. Com and the nhtsa. This is obviously a defect in material and/or workmanship at the chrysler corporation and they should be held accountable and replace these defective parts. This is a safety issue!! Headlights shutting off as you drive down a dark road is a safety issue!! It is a shame, but it appears it will take someone either dying or getting seriously injured before anything is done to force chrysler to correct this problem.
