Description of the problem | I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500. It is not driven very often ,and has mostly been garaged or under a car port. About a year ago i noticed that the plastic bezel around the dashboard had started to crack, but i thought nothing of it, not long after that i noticed the dashboard was cracking, and now i havd some very big cracks in dashboard that looked like it might fall in. I recently found out that this seemed to be a defect in the 2001 ram, and that it was common with this year ram. I was wondering what could be done about it? *ak |
