Description of the problem	I purchased this vehicle new in 2001. Since then, the dashboard has been replaced 3 times. Once by dodge and 2 times by me. This dashboard continues to crack and split. Now the bezel has cracked into several pieces. Now, within the last week, the glovebox, made of the same plastic material has split and broken at the hinges. I have noticed that this is a real problem that is all over nhtsa's complaint board under several locations such as body, structural, airbags. These dashboards have cracked so badly, no one knows which portion of the vehicle that is affected but could show up in several locations. Although they have blamed this on uv degradation, i have other vehicles from 1986 and 87 that still have never had this problem. I also have a1999 dodge 1500 that the dash has also cracked and i have replaced as well. When will nhtsa finally issue a recall for free replacements. Right now, mopar and aftermarket parts continue to sell the dashboard that has multiple defects. If the dash comes apart during a crash, shrapnel from the dash can be blown into a persons face or chest during an airbag deployment. It is all over the web about poor dashboards on this particular model. When is the recall? It is all over nhtsa's web site under various category's. When is the recall going to occur? A lot of dodge owners are tired of pulling money out there pockets to fix a reoccurring problem for a defect that dodge/chrysler is aware of? The vehicle's cracking and breaking of the dash, bezel and glovebox are made of the same material. The problem cracks when the vehicle is stationary, in motion, on streets or highways. Can nhtsa help get a recall done on this continuing problem?
