| Description of the problem | I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 and since last year the dash start to shown a lot of deep cracks on top and in a dash trim line. I made some research and find out this is common in this particular model and year, dealership said is nothing they can do about it except sell me a new dash and trim.
