Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED AND EXPECTED SOME COMPONENTS OF THE TRUCK TO BE WORN.THE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND HAVE CONTINUED TO CRACK EVEN MORE. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AGE RELATED BUT A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I'M WORRIED ABOUT PIECES FLYING OFF AND HITTING ME IN THE FACE AS BROKEN PARTS HAVE ALREADY DONE BUT ONLY LANDED AT MY FEET.IT'S LIKE DRIVING WITH BROKEN GLASS ON YOUR DASHBOARD. I WOULD HATE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO GO OFF AND BE STABBED BY PIECES OF FLYING DASHBOARD. I'VE NOTICED THAT N.H.T.S.A. HAS RECEIVED MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPONENT THAN ANY OTHER ON THIS TRUCK. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. LET'S NOT MAKE THIS ANOTHER RECALL DEBACLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. NO DASHBOARDS CRACK LIKE THIS WITH AGE. *TR
