Description of the problem	Dashboard cracks - i am the 2nd owner of this 2003 dodge ram 1500. It has been a wonderful vehicle for me over the past 10 years with very minimal problems. In january 2014, i drove over a speed bump and while doing so, i heard a "pop" sound from the dash area. I didn't think anything of it at the time. The next day, i noticed a crack in the main dash area that extended from the front to the seam (3/4 back to the windshield). Over the past 2 years, as you see in the photos, the cracking has continued and become worse to the point large sections broke off and fallen down into the dash. One piece had jammed an a/c blending door actuator, which i was able to pry out and fix the door. My concern is, if i am unfortunate enough to be involved in a collision, where are those razor sharp shards of plastic going to hit when the passenger airbag deploys? I no longer allow my grandchild to ride in this vehicle due to the dash cracks. If an area of the dash is pressed on, a large section just breaks off as if the plastic is the consistency of a cracker. Dodge created this dash and has put my safety and the safety of all other owner at risk. This should be on a priority list for a recall. I've owned vehicles from other makers older than this one and have never had an issue with plastic dash boards cracking.
