NHTSA Complaint #10365068 — 2002 DODGE RAM 1500

JUST WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PHASE "RAM TOUGH" I'VE HAD MY 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 SINCE IT WAS NEW; I HAD INSTALLED A CARPETED DASH COVER A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK SO THE DASHBOARD WOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE SUN. I EVEN INSTALLED A RETRACTABLE ACCORDION STYLE SUNSHADE. IN MID 2005, I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR AND REMOVED THE COVER ONLY TO FIND THREE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD, SINCE THEN I HAVE NOTED MORE AND MORE CRACKS WITH VERY SHARP EDGES TO THE POINT THAT NOW I HAVE HOLES WITH SHARP EDGES AND PIECES OF DASHBOARD FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE A/C DUCTS AND INTO THE WIRING OF THE DASH AREA, ALSO I SHOULD MENTION THAT SINCE THESE PIECES HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DUCTS, MY A/C UNIT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THAT THE INTERNAL DOORS TO DIVERT HOT AND COLD AIR ARE BEING BLOCKED BY THESE BROKEN PIECES AND NO LONGER OPEN OR CLOSE. I FEEL THAT DODGE NEEDS TO MAN UP AND PUT OUT A RECALL. LOOK, I LOVE MY TRUCK, IT'S MY THIRD ONE, AND I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR MANY MANY YEARS. IT'S NOW TIME FOR DODGE TO SHOW THEIR LOYALTY TO ITS CUSTOMERS!!! *TR
