Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM WITH 88,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK IS ALWAYS KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT THE '!@#$% DASH BOARD. ON AUG 11 2009 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE BLOCK AND A PC OF THE DASH CRACKED OF HITTING ME IN THE EYE!!!!!!!! I LOST CONTROL FOR A SECOND AND ENDED UP ON THE PARKWAY GRASS! THANK GOD NO ONE WAS PLAYING IN THERE YARD CAUSE FOR A MOMENT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE! I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHILE DRIVING A CHRYSLER MADE PRODUCT!! I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND HE SAID"ILL GIVE YOU A GOOD DEAL ON A NEW ONE! WHY DO I WANT ANOTHER PC OF '!@#$% FROM THEM? START STANDING BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT AND MAYBE I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ! I CANT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS AND IM AFRAID TO AS WELL, FEARING WHAT OTHER PART OF THE DASH IS GOING TO FLY OFF NEXT! THERE ARE CRACKS ALL OVER IT FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE GAUGES FROM SIDE WINDOW TO SIDE WINDOW! THIS MUST BE REPLACED!!! *TR
