Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM PURCHASED USED IN 2006. IT HAD 1 OR 2 SMALL CRACKS IN THE DASH AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I WASN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THEM, BUT THEN WITHIN A YEAR OR 2 THE CRACKS MULTIPLIED. I THEN BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH LARGE PIECES OF THE DASH COMPLETELY BREAKING AND FALLING OUT. I NOW HAVE MULTIPLE GIANT HOLES IN THE DASH. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH OTHER DODGE RAMS UNTIL I SEARCHED OUT TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT 1000'S OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, FAR FROM BEING LABELED "ISOLATED". THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED VIA A RECALL YEARS AGO. *TR
