| Description of the problem | I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500. About a year ago i found a small crack in the dashboard. Now my dashboard is completely cracked all over and large pieces are beginning to break off and fall in. I looked into getting it repaired, but the costs were well over $1200. I recently saw a report or wftv channel six in orlando that the dashboard collapses are causing problems with the wiring and electrical systems. I plan on calling the chrysler car line to see if they will replace the dashboard, but they currently do not have plans to recall any of the vehicles.*ak |
