Description of the problem	Dash started cracking about four years ago with a mileage of 55000. Dash was replaced at owners expense two years ago when dash had colapsed. One year later the dash began to crack once again and i learned of many other poeple with the same problem. I was reluctant to spen 1000 dollars to replace it again. Since then the dash has colapsed again but this time spall peices cut some wires under the dash causing the headlights not to work. This is an extreme safety issue and dont know what would have happened had i been on the highway doing 65-70 mph when the lights went out. Reading the number of complaints i feel the dash is defective and a safety concern. Chrysler shoud recall vehicles to correct problem. *cn
