Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 USED WITH A CRACKED DASH. THE ORIGINAL OWNER STATED IT CRACKED THE SECOND YEAR HE OWNED IT WITH ONLY APPROXIMATELY 33,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS ON ALMOST EVERY DODGE RAM TRUCK MANUFACTURED FROM 1998-2006 AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS FILED ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH EVERY CONCEIVABLE REGULATING AGENCY. NOTHING TO DATE HAS BEEN DONE! THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE REGULATING AGENCIES HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!! I HAVE ALREADY HAD PIECES OF THE DASH FLY INTO MY EYE WHILE DRIVING! WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN OR THE DEFROST IS IN OPERATION, SMALL PARTICLES FLY OFF AND INTO YOUR EYES CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION!!! DODGE WILL DO NOTHING UNLESS ORDERED TO BY A REGULATING AGENCY--THEY ARE ALL ABOUT PROFITS OVER SAFETY!!! THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO FILE THESE COMPLAINTS OR ACT UPON THEM SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED SOLELY ON THE NUMBER OF "PERSONAL INJURIES" AS MANY WILL GO UNREPORTED OR NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT-SUCH AS MINE HOWEVER, THE CHANCE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION IS VERY REAL!! IT CAN BE AVOIDED WITH A RECALL THAT IS MORE THAN LONG OVERDUE!!! *TR
