Consumer Description

I AM REPEAT DODGE CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, I HAVE RECENTLY BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT MY DODGE RAM 1500. THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND IS NOW CURRENTLY FALLING THROUGH IN SEVERAL LACES. IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN A LARGE CHUNK OF ABOUT SIX INCHES WIDE AND 8 INCHES LONG FELL THROUGH THE DASHBOARD, THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS SHARP PIECE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN WEARING WORK BOOTS. AS MY DAUGHTERS HAVE ON OCCASION DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE I HAVE BECOME CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF ELECTRICAL WIRING DAMAGE AND/OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT PROBLEMS. I URGE SOMEONE TO PUSH FOR A RECALL BEFORE SHARP ITEMS DISFIGURED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IS INITIATED DUE TO NICKED WIRES. MY CONFIDENCE IN DODGE HAS TRULY DIMINISHED DUE TO THEIR DISREGARD ND UNCONCERN ON THIS MATTER. *JB
