2002 DODGE RAM 3500 Structurebody Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASH BOARD HAD DEVELOPED A CRACK AND THE ELECTRICAL WIRES UNDERNEATH WAS EXPOSED TO THE VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY 2002 DODGE TRUCK IS LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CRUMBLING INTO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING BEHIND THE DASH. DURING RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE DODGES AND ALSO A SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH DODGE HAS CHOOSE TO IGNORE. I REALIZE THAT TO SUM THIS IS NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT WITH SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS AND RESULTS OF THE DASH FOLLOWING INTO THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS UNDER THIS FAULTY DASH , IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND OR SERIOUS INJURIES. *TR

MY 2002 DODGE RAM 3500 PICKUP DASH BOARD IS CRACKING. FIRST IT STARTED AS A SMALL CRACK AND NOW IT HAS BECOME A CRACK ALMOST A FOOT LONG. THERE ARE OTHER CRACKS IN THE DASH AS WELL (AROUND THE GAUGE CLUSTER). AT TIMES MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE CRACKED DASH, I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE ITEM AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. A NEW DASH QUOTED $455.00 JUST IN PARTS. THAT IS FAR TO MUCH FOR A DASH THAT SHOULD HAVE NOT CRACKED IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND FOR A TRUCK THAT IS NOT THAT OLD. *TR
