| Description of the problem | I had a cover on my dashboard and took it off to clean under it a few years ago. I noticed cracks all over the top of the dash. After a year or so i looked under the cover again & noticed there were big open spots where the dash actually was falling apart. I pulled pieces out that were large in size & now have holes in the dash exposing wiring and duct work and there are cracks that are now extending to the face of the dash. I had a chip on my window & had it replaced. When the window tech came to replace the window i told him about it so he didn't lean on it & get hurt. He said this was a common problem with this year dodge trucks. I found this website & was reviewing all the complaints & can't believe there isn't a recall for this issue with all these complaints. |
