NHTSA Complaint #10225828 — 2000 DODGE RAM 1500

DASH DEVELOPED CRACKS AFTER SECOND YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, ONE ABOVE AIR BAG CHAMBER, AND THE OTHER ABOVE SPEED METER. ,AND EVENTUALLY FRACTURED INTO MULTIPLE PARTS DURING THE FOLLOWING YEARS.. DECIDED TO REMOVE IT, AS PARTS WERE FALLING DOWN INTO THE EMPTY SPACE UNDER THE DASH TOP, AND MAKING RATTLING NOISES. THIS MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE. INTERNET SOURCES, TELEVISION NEWS BROADCASTS SITE THOUSANDS ACROSS COUNTRY HAVING SAME ISSUES. WHY HAS NO RECALL BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? THE RISKS OF POSSIBLE INJURY, FROM MOISTURE FROM LEAKS OR OTHER SOURCES COULD CAUSE INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. I WILL TAKE STEPS TO REPLACE THIS DASH MYSELF, WITH SUITABLE PROTECTION, AS THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT SHOWED ANY CONCERN TOWARDS ITS CUSTOMERS, OR OFFERED A SOLUTION. BUYING THE SAME KIND OF DASH, MADE OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IS NOT THE SOLUTION, AS MANY HAVE DONE THIS, AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
