Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500, USED, IN 2005, WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOCATED AT THE BASE OF THE FRONT WINDOW. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN GROWING STEADILY. NOW THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS, FROM THE BASE OF THE WINDOW TO THE TRIM SURROUNDING THE GAUGES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS WILL CONTINUE AND CAUSE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. ADDITIONALLY, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASH WILL START TO BREAK OR FALL INTO THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE AND OR FATALITIES DUE TO A FIRE OR SOMETHING. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE! *JB
