Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH CRACKS IN THE DASH AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. IN INVESTIGATING REPAIR OPTIONS FOR THIS I HAVE DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH NOTIFIED MANY TIMES. IT IS SO PREVALENT THAT IN LESS THAT ONE HOUR I FOUND 20 CASES OF THE SAME EXACT FORM LETTER BEING SENT TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD NOTIFIED CHRYSLER. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO JERK CHRYSLER BACK INTO REALITY WITH A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM - WHEN THE AIRBAG GOES OFF , PLASTIC DASH SHRAPNEL FLYING EVERYWHERE IS NOT A GOOD THING! *JB
