Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 STARTED DEVELOPING CRACKS ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO. THE CRACKS BEGAN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIR BAG AND CONTINUE TO EXTEND IN SEVERAL AREAS TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND AREAS ARE BEGINNING TO SAG INWARD. COMPONENTS ENCASED WITHIN THE DASH WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT THAT WILL RESULT FROM CONTINUED FAILURE OF THE DASHBOARD. THIS CREATES A CONCERN AS TO THE POTENTIAL EXPOSURE OF ELECTRICAL AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COMPONENTS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BEING COMPROMISED AS A RESULT OF THE DASH DETERIORATION OR THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS RESULTING FROM WIRING INSULATION BECOMING BRITTLE DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE. *TR
