Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED OUR NEW RAM TRUCK FEB 23RD, 2001 & HAVE KEPT IT GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE, SERVICED AS REQUIRED BY DODGE, WASHED & WAXED AS NEEDED & USED THE BEST VINYL PROTECTANT AVAILABLE ON THE INTERIOR TO KEEP OUR TRUCK LOOKING NEW. SUDDENLY A CRACK APPEARED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH THAT MAKES A VERY DISTRACTING RUBBING CRUNCHING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE FEEL DODGE IS AWARE OF USING INFERIOR MATERIALS IN THE DASH OF OURS AND OTHERS TRUCKS & THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THIS IS SUCH AN AWFUL, UGLY DEFECT THAT IT LESSENS THE SELLING & TRADE IN VALUE OF THESE VEHICLES & THE OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE THIS HIT DUE TO THE DECISION OF DODGE TO USE INFERIOR MATERIALS IN THE MANUFATURE OF THESE TRUCKS. *TR
