Consumer Description

ON MY DODGE QUAD CAB 2500 FRONT DASH, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK STARTING AT NEAR THE SPEAKER GRILL IN 2006, AND THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED CASE. OVER THE YEARS SINCE 2006, THE FRONT DASH HAS COMPLETELY FAILED DUE TO NUMEROUS MAJOR CRACKS IN ALL LOCATIONS AND GOING IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS. THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND PIECES OF THE DASH NOW HAVE FALLEN DOWN TO INACCESSIBLE AREAS BELOW THE DASH. IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED FOR VARIOUS YEARS THAT THESE DASHES HAVE BEEN MADE FROM AN INFERIOR GRADE PLASTIC PRONE TO CRACKING AND IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. BECAUSE IT BECOMES SO BRITTLE AND PRONE TO CRACKING, THAT DURING AN ACCIDENT, THE DASH COULD SHATTER AND INJURE THE OCCUPANTS. *TR
