Consumer Description

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK AROUND 2003, AND IS STILL CRACKING NOW. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED, AND WHEN THE TECH PUT THE STICKER ON THE WINDOW HIS HAND WENT THROUGH THE DASH BOARD, AND NOW THERE IS A BIG FIST SIZED HOLE IN MY DASH BOARD. WHEN IT IS COLD MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP SO BAD THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER AND STOP. THIS IS DUE TO THE BIG CRACKS, AND HOLES IN MY DASH BOARD. I ALMOST ORDERED A MOLDED DASH CAP, BUT I THOUGHT GLUING THIS CAP TO A BAD FOUNDATION (DASHBOARD) IS A BAD IDEA. DODGE NEEDS TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD, BECAUSE I THINK EVENTUALLY SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. THIS IS A DEFECT BECAUSE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR
