Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB SPORT 360 4X4 WITH THE 5.9. MY DASH HAS NOW STARTED CRACKING AND THE CRACK IS GETTING WORSE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE CRACK IS ABOUT 4 INCHES IN LENGTH AND IS SPREADING. IT IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLOSE TO THE VENT BY THE FRONT GLASS. I HAVE BEEN A DEDICATED DODGE OWNER ALONG WITH EVENING OWNING A DODGE WEBSITE (WWW.DODGE-CHAT.COM) AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT THAT DODGE HAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF THIS ISSUE. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE. *TR
