Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACK. THE DASHBOARD SPLIT DOWN THE HIGHEST TENSION POINT AND EVER SINCE THE DASH HAS LITERALLY CRUMBLED BEFORE MY EYES. I'VE HAS DASHBOARD CRACK BEFORE, BUT NEVER DISINTEGRATE BEFORE MY EYES. I'VE KEPT THIS TRUCK IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES EXCEPT NORMAL MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A TRAGEDY AND DODGE REFUSES TODO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THESE ARE GREAT TRUCKS AND THIS IS THE BLACK EYE FOR DODGE. EVERYBODY, AND I MEAN EVERYBODY THAT OWNS THIS YEARTS TRUCK IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DODGE IGNORE IT. MY DASH IS NOW A GAPING HOLE FILLED WITH PLASTIC SHARDS.
