Consumer Description

PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE 1500 WITH APPROXIMATELY 49K MILES ON IT IN 2004. HAVE HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH DASH BREAKING. IT IS NOW TO THE POINT THAT I FEEL THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL BE IMPAIRED OR EVEN BECOME LETHAL IF IT DEPLOYED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT. DODGE HAS REFUSED TO HELP CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS MAKES IT POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOR A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. I AM AFRAID WITH THE CONDITION OF THE DASH AT THIS POINT SERIOUS BODILY INJURY MAY OCCUR DUE TO ITS CONDITION. IT ALMOST APPEARS THAT THE DEFAULT HAS CAUSED THE POSITION OF THE DASH TO CHANGE SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE AIRBAG. *TR
