Description of the problem	2001 dodge ram 1500, purchased new by my inlaws in florida in 2001 and garage kept 80% of the time. I purchased the truck in november 2004 with 56000 miles on it. Drove it back to virginia, where it was also garage kept. I noticed one small, about 1", crack in the dashboard on the passenger's side one month later. By april, several cracks formed all over the dashboard and around the air bag. I contacted the dealer, and they said there was nothing they could do because the vehicle was out of warranty, and gave me chryslers 800 number which i called and filled a complaint, but that was all they woudl do. I could not afford the $1500 to replace the dashboard as i was still making payments on the vehicle. Once pieces of the dashboard started to fall out shortly, there after, i installed a dashc over, partially for the asthetics, but also because i was afraid of what the fragile crumbling dashboard would do in an accident, especially if the airbag went off. Flying shards of sharp plastic did not sound good to me.*ak
