Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD ON THE 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 AND MOST DODGES FROM 1994-2001 SPECIFICALLY ARE CRACKING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WE HAD A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD AFTER GETTING THE AIR CONDITIONER FIXED. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THERE FAULT BUT DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF DASHBOARDS BEING SHATTERED IN THESE TRUCKS FROM MANY PEOPLE I DON'T THINK IT IS. NOW THE WHOLE DASH IS IN DANGER OF CAVING IN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE NEWS MANY TIMES AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING FED UP. THIS COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL DAMAGE AND THE SHARP PLASTIC FROM THE JAGGED CRACKS CAN HURT SOMEONE. I BELIEVE THE DASHBOARDS NEED TO BE RECALLED OR SOMEONE WILL BE HURT. *TR
