Description of the problem	Like many others, the dash fell apart... You aren't doing a thing about it until what? Someone dies? 2001 dodge ram 1500 truck. Everyone i talk to knows someone whose truck did the same thing. If we are in a wreck and the airbag doesn't deploy due to the support system being missing.... Falling apart totally.... Then if we die, will something be done to make chrysler stand good for the repairs? I have contacted them and they want us to pay 800 for our part. No... It is their widespread defect and we will not pay a penny. We have had a fire in the dash as everything is open to the elements now.... We had to stop on the side of the road and crawl up under and find the wires burning. Whenever you turned on the key, it smoked and burned. Finally, after the truck was towed home, he traced the wire to the heated mirrors and removed it. Waiting for the next fire, i guess. What a shame for chrysler to take bailout money and not help customers and ensure their safety. Will someone please step up?????
