NHTSA Complaint #10192839 — 2000 DODGE RAM 2500

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE RAM THAT HAS A VERY BAD DASH PROBLEM. IT STARTED CRACKING A YEAR AGO. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TEMPLE, TX WHEN I WAS LIVING IN THAT AREA AND THEY SAID THEY WERE VERY AWARE OF THE DASH PROBLEMS IN THE DODGE TRUCKS BUT COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE TALKED TO HUNDREDS PEOPLE ON THE PHONE - IN PERSON - ON ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS AND THEY WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. NOW TO ME THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I AM A MEMBER OF A LOCAL FIRE DEPT AND I KNOW WHAT A BUSTED DASH CAN DO IN A WRECK - THAT PLASTIC CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK PROPERLY - THE CRACK COULD HAVE SPLINTERED AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT - UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE AND THE AIR BAG DOESN'T DEPLOY!! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS MATTER WITH NOT ONLY MY TRUCK BUT EVERYONE ELSES WITH CRACKED DASHES!! PLEASE HELP AND DO SOMETHING.
