Consumer Description

DASHBOARD HAS BROKEN APART AND COMPLETELY CAVED IN LEAVING EXPOSED WIRING AND TURNED BROKEN PIECES INTO PROJECTILES IF THE AIR BAG WAS TO DEPLOY. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT POSES A RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND EXISTS IN A GROUP OF VEHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE. BECAUSE IT IS A CRITICAL VEHICLE COMPONENT THAT HAS BROKEN, FALLEN APART, AND SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE, IT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IF YOU DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE (WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM)YOU WILL SEE HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. DODGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR NOT ALREADY RECALLING ALL TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR
