| Description of the problem | I own a 2001 dodge ram that the top of the dashboard is cracking badly. I have heard of several others with the same problem. I asked my local dealer and they said that dodge would not repair as a recall. Also a new dashboard is around $330. 00. I have also heard that it will get worse and collapse. If there are several thousand complaints why won't they recall them? |
