| Description of the problem | I have a 2001 dodge ram pickup purchased brand new and to no fault of my own the dash board cracked and basically chunk's of plastic dash has actually fallen out. Now the speakers seem to be going possibly due to the dash having large holes in it and the heat being able to get to the wiring. |
