Consumer Description

THE DASH IN THIS VEHICLE IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART APPARENTLY FROM EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPOSURE TO SHARP OBJECTS LOCATED UNDER THE DASH AND COULD CAUSE PLASTIC SHARDS TO BE EMBEDDED IN ONES FACE AND EYES SHOULD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A REPLACEMENT FROM DODGE WILL DO THE SAME THING AND WILL COST ME ABOUT $1200 TO REPLACE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT ALMOST ALL 1999 DODGE RAM'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AS DO OTHER YEAR RAM'S. *TR
