NHTSA Complaint #10983653 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

AT APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE PLACES. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, PIECES STARTED TO BREAK AWAY WHILE DRIVING. MOST OF THE PIECES HAD SHARP EDGES WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY TO THE DRIVER OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM LOGGED WITH BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE NHTSA FOR YEARS WITH NO ACTION EVEN ATTEMPTED TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE FACTORY DASHBOARD REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE NHTSA ACTS? THE LOSS OF SOMEONE'S EYE PERHAPS OR A PIECE FLYING INTO THE FACE OF A DRIVER CAUSING LOSS OF SIGHT AND CAUSING A COLLISION? WAKE UP!!! THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC PROBLEM. IT'S A SLEEPING GIANT WAITING TO HAPPEN!
