UNFORCED CRACKING AND DISINTEGRATION OF PLASTIC DASH RESULTED IN SMALL PLASTIC PARTS PROJECTING FROM DEFROSTER VENTS PRESENTING A HAZARD TO DRIVING VISIBILITY

DASHBOARD CRACKING IN 2011 MY TRUCKS DASH BEGAN TO CRACK AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT DODGE KNEW THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. IT HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO CRACK BUT NOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS FALLEN APART HOWEVER DUE TO THE RECENT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL MY DASH WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE REPAIR PROCESS I WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A NEW DASH OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS BULL AS DODGE KNOWS THEY HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE ON THEIR HANDS.
