Consumer Description

THE DASH IN MY 1999 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCK HAS CRACKED, THE CRACKING STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING IT BUT IT IS WAY EXPENSIVE AND HAVE HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF TRUCK HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS TOO. IT WAS BROUGHT MORE TO MY ATTENTION WHEN I SAW IT ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT. I FEEL IF I PAID OVER $18,000 DOLLARS AND MORE FROM MY TRUCK IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A CRACKING DASH MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I CONTACTED DODGE BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED COSMETIC, BUT IF ITS COSMETIC THEN WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO EVERYBODY THAT OWNS A DODGE RAM?? I AM SCARED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY PIECES CAN FLY UP IF YOU HIT THE SLIGHTNESS BUMP AND WHAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? *TR
