Consumer Description

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS I HAVE WATCHED MY DASHBOARD SLOWLY DETERIORATE. IT STARTED WITH SMALL HAIRLINE CRACKS THAT HAVE EVOLVED INTO HUGE CRACKS. EVERY BUMB CAUSES THE CRACKED SECTIONS TO CAVE IN, REQUIRING ME TO LIFT THOSE SECTIONS WITH A SCREW DRIVER. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK, CLEANIN AND POLISHIN IT TWICE A MONTH. I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS FROM PEOPLE TELLING ME THAT MY TRUCK LOOKS AS IF IT WAS JUST DRIVIN OUT OF A SHOW ROOM EXCEPT FOR MY DASHBOARD. I'M TERRIFIED TO THINK OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF SOME SHARP PIECES WERE TO FLY IN MY OR MY PASSENGERS EYES IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. ( PLEASE) BRING THIS MATTER TO DODGE'S ATTENTION, LETS NOT WAIT FOR A STATISTIC TO MAKE US THINK, YEA, WE SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR
