Consumer Description

2003 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, DASH STARTED CRACKING ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES DETERIORATING, NOW HAS A COUPLE OF BIG CRACKS (3/8" WIDE) AND SOME LITTLE ONES. COUPLED WITH RECALL (R26/NHSTA 15V-312) ON DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING (FOR WHICH I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO FAR OVER 6 MONTHS FOR) THIS HAS POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO OCCUPANTS, I DO NOT HAVE LUXURY OF USING ANOTHER VEHICLE. DODGE DO NOT SEEM IN ANY RUSH TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS DANGEROUS AND A MULTI STATE ISSUE.
