Consumer Description

I OWN A 1997 DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING BY ITSELF AND IS CAVING IN. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND RESEARCH BY LOCAL TV (WKMG) INDICATE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER- EVERY DASH ON A DODGE PICKUP WILL CRACK AND FALL APART. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE WIRING. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR
