Consumer Description

THE DASH CAP IN MY DODGE RAM 1500 HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY VERY SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A COLLISION RESULTING IN UNNECESSARY INJURY TO ANY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD TRIGGER A FULL RECALL OF ALL TRUCKS AFFECTED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY START A RECALL. I MYSELF HAVE CUT MY FINGERS AND HANDS JUST WIPING OFF THE DASH BOARD WHILE CLEANING. I BEG OF YOU TO START AN INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED VERY BADLY IN AN ACCIDENT BY THESE SHARDS BECOMING PROJECTILES. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS. PLEASE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY! *TR
