Consumer Description

THE DASH WAS CRACKED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. THERE WERE CRACKS RUNNING OVER THE AREA ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND OVER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, RUNNING INTO THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE. JUST YESTERDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2010, THE FRONT COVER QUITE LITERALLY EXPLODED INTO FRAGMENTS. THE DASH IS CURRENTLY NOT ATTACHED, IT IS JUST HANGING. IT STAYS IN PLACE FOR THE MOST PART BUT CAN VERY EASILY BE LIFTED. I HAVE SEEN, HEARD AND READ OF MANY OTHER DODGE DASHBOARDS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF IT IS SO PREVALENT, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. A SOLUTION TO THIS DEFECT, BE IT A RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS, IS SERIOUSLY PAST DUE. *TR
