Consumer Description

MY DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK'S DASHBOARD STARTED BREAKING UP INTO PIECES AND HAS BECOME WORSE SINCE 2007. PIECES FROM DASH ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE AREA THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER & OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE VITAL TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE PLUS WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAGS BEING EXPOSED.
