Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 BRAND NEW. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, I STARTED NOTICING HAIRLINE CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. FAST FORWARD TO 2008, AND NOW I HAVE A GAPING CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY PROBLEM. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT A SHARP PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC COULD DO IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. WHAT ELSE CAN WE, THE PUBLIC, DO? *TR
