Consumer Description

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN 2006 WITH 34,000 MILES. IN JUNE OF 2008 I NOTICED A CRACK APPROX. 2" LONG IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING IN THE TRAY, VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 53,000 MILES ON IT. BY SEPTEMBER OF 2008 THE ONE CRACK DEVELOPED INTO 3 CRACKS WITH 1 SPANNING THE ENTIRE WIDTH OF THE DASH ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF THE VEHICLE. NOW IN MARCH OF 2009 WITH 69,000 MILE, THERE ARE 5 CRACKS TOTAL AND THE DASHBOARD IS SAGGING AND THE DEFROSTER VENTS ARE STARTING TO CRACK APART. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT, THE ONLY PROTECTANT USED ON THE DASH WAS RECOMMENDED AND PURCHASED AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. *TR
