Consumer Description

HAVE HAD A CRACKED DASHBOARD FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND COULD NOT GET A RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE. MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED TO PIECES CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. FINALLY MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE PIECES OF MY FALLEN DASHBOARD FALLING ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, THERE WAS A SMALL SHORT/FIRE THAT CAUSED MY CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP WORKING AND MY DASH LIGHTS ALSO. I FEEL IT HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE, SOMEONE NOT AS LUCKY AS ME, GETS REALLY HURT FROM THIS SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE THAT HAS HAUNTED US DODGE RAM OWNERS FOR A LONG TIME. WE NEED TO GET OUR DASHBOARD REPLACED ASAP. *TR
