Consumer Description

IN 2004 I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB 1500 TRUCK FROM A LOCAL DEALER. THE TRUCK WAS IN GREAT SHAPE. ABOUT 3 YRS. LATER I NOTICED THE DASH STARTING TO CRACK FROM THE DEFROST VENTS OUTWARD. WITH IN A WEEK I HAD LARGE HOLES IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DASH. THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT BROKE OFF FELL DOWN INSIDE. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A RECALL THEY COULDN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL FROM BEING A MEDIC FIREFIGHTER THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BECOMES DEPLOYED MORE PIECES OF THE DASH CAN BECOME PROJECTILES CAUSING DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY. *TR
