Consumer Description

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2001 DODGE 1500 TRUCK THAT WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION UP UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO, THAT WAS WHEN MY DASHBOARD CAVED IN. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC FOR A SUMMER TUNE-UP. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND WHEN THOSE TRIPLE DIGITS START ROLLING IN YOU WANT TO BE SURE YOUR AC IS BLOWING COLD AND MINE SEEM TO BE HAVING SOME AIRFLOW PROBLEMS. WHEN MY MECHANIC GOT THROUGH INSPECTING THE TRUCK HE DISCOVERED THAT MY DASHBOARD WAS SLOWLY "CAVING IN" CAUSING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE DASH OFF TO GET A BETTER LOOK AND WHEN HE TOOK THE SCREWS OUT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD JUST BROKE INTO MANY PIECES. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THAT DASH HAS MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEHIND IT WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS. I AM ALSO IN FAVOR OF A RECALL, BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD INSPECTOR MUST OF BEEN ON VACATION IN 2001 WHEN THEY LET THIS TRUCK LEAVE THE FACTORY WITH ISSUES LIKE THAT. RECALL THAT DASH!!! *TR
