| Description of the problem | The entire dash including sub-frame for my dash on my 2001 dodge 1500 started cracking and has continued to fall apart. I have read on the internet other complaints about this same problem. I searched for a used dash from used auto parts yards and they indicate they are defective and all crack and fall apart if you attempt to remove them. The dealers charge in excess of $2000. 00 to replace the parts with no warranties against defects. *jb |
