Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. LIKE MANY OF THESE TRUCKS MY DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY BREAKING APART AND COLLAPSING. I HAVE READ ON LINE WHERE THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH MY VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAS AN AIRBAG BUILT IN THE DASH BOARD AND I AM CONCERNED THAT A SHARP PLASTIC SHARD COULD CAUSE SEVERE BODILY INJURY IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED OR IF THE AIRBAG WILL EVEN WORK SINCE THE DASH BOARD HAS CAVED IN. DEALERS ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD WIRING COULD CATCH FIRE. *TR
