"covering" the problem is not a fix. i want to know why there has not been a recall from dodge on this issue. just how much damage will a damaged dash cause in the event of a "just right" accident that cause a body part that is right in front of driver and passenger(s) if it shatters? broken plastic can be as damageing as glass. .Mileage was 80000 miles.
