| Description of the problem | Approximately two years ago my 2001 dodge ram, 1500 sport started to develop cracks in the dash board. It deteriorated rapidly and it now has huge holes and cracks across the entire surface. Dodge has refused to assist in the unusually high cost of replacement. The warranty was expired for less than a year after the cracks began. The date given below is an estimate. *nm |
