Consumer Description

DASHBOARD FAILURE ON 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. THE DASHBOARD HAS FRACTURES / CRACKS THAT PROPAGATE TO AIRBAG AREA PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE SHUT AIRBAG OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN FEAR OF AIRBAG IGNITION AND FLYING SHARDS OF HARD PLASTIC COMING FROM DECOMPOSING DASH. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS PLASTIC MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND HAS ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT'S OD. DASH AREA ON DRIVERS SIDE HAS COMPLETELY FRACTURED WITH PIECES BEGINNING TO DISLODGE AND FALL INTO WIRING HARNESS ABOVE STEERING AREA. FEAR IS CHAFFING OCCURRING AT WIRE HARNESS LOCATIONS FROM DISLODGED PLASTIC SHARDS AND CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRICAL INTERIOR FIRE. *TR
