Consumer Description

I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE DASHES THAT ARE IN DODGE RAMS? YOU CAN BROWSE THE WEB, AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT ALL THE DASHES IN DODGE RAMS FROM 00' UP TO 02' ARE CRACKING, AND DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT... HERE RECENTLY, THEY RELEASED A RECALL FOR STEERING WHEEL COLUMNS, BUT STILL NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUDGE AS TO A DASH RECALL. IT IS HAPPENING IN DODGE RAMS ALL ACROSS THE U.S. PROVING THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE SOUTHERN HEAT THAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT RATHER A DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL. THE DASHES CRACK WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST SIGN OF SUN DAMAGES, SPOTS, OR FADING... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS... THE DASH ALSO COVERS MAJOR WIRES THAT ARE THE KEY FOR THE VEHICLE, AND IF THEY MELT OR GET WET, IT COULD CAUSE MAJOR MALFUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES. *TR
