Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 DODGE RAM. AS I UNDERSTAND, YOU HAVE RECEIVED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DASH PLASTIC FAILURE. AS I READ THE POSTS, I SEE THAT AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THESE VEHICLES (DODGE RAM) ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ENTIRE PLASTIC DASH SPLINTERS INTO SHARDS, REGARDLESS OF TIME OR CARE AND UPKEEP. SO HAS MINE. I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHATICALLY ADD MY NAME TO THE GROWING LIST OF DISGUSTED OWNERS. I AM MORE THAN CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC AROUND THE AIRBAG. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY PASSENGER(S) IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS? I WORK AS A FIREFIGHTER, AND HAVE SEEN FIRST-HAND THE RESULTS OF THE VIOLENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE EXTENT OF THE ADDITIONAL INJURIES IF SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC ARE ADDED TO THE BLAST OF THE AIRBAG. THIS IS NOT MERELY AN ISSUE OF AESTHETICS OR POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. IT IS A MONUMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. SENT RESPECTFULLY *TR
