Consumer Description

1999 DODGE RAM 1500 BUSTED DASH. MY CONCERN IS THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DASH IS SO BUSTED UP THAT I'M WORRY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. IF THE AIR BAGS COME OUT WILL ALL THE SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH FLY OUT AND HIT ME. THOSE PIECES ARE REALLY SHARP AND I FELL LIKE THEY COULD DO JUST AS MUCH DAMAGE TO SOMEONE AS BEING IN A WRECK. THE BUSTED DASH IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. THE WIRING IS ALSO EXPOSED AND THAT ALONG CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, I WOULD HATE FOR ONE OF THEM TO GET HURT JUST BECAUSE DODGE WILL NOT DO A RECALL. I'M NOT SURE OF THEIR REASON FOR NOT DOING IT, BUT IN THIS ECONOMY, THEY ARE LOOSING BUSINESS FAST DUE TO THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
