Description of the problem	I purchased this truck brand new in august 2008. I noticed the first dashboard crack, on the left side of the passenger air bag, about two years later. I took my truck to the dealership i bought it from, over concerns about possible splintering of the dashboard in the event an airbag deployment. The dealer only offered to replace the defective component. The quote was just over $1200. He also assured me that my still active, "bumber to bumber" warranty would not cover this particular defect. Of course now i've got a crack from the defrost vent to the windshield, and cracking over the gauge cluster so severe that it is basically a hole. It is more than obvious that this component is defective in material, design, application or mounting method. It is also obvious that this component is a safety hazard due to the likelihood of splintering should an impact and/or an airbag deployment occur. The hole in my dashboard also represents multiple violations of automotive safety and construction standards. Set forth by the federal government. All that being said, i have taken immaculate care of this vehicle and there is no plausible explanation other than a defect in the component itself.
