| Description of the problem | I have a cloth cover covering dashboard that was on it when i bought this truck in 12/2005 i have noticed a huge crack and many small cracks running from the passenger window post to the front of the dashboard,this is a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4 x 4. Dodger will not fix neither will dealer or extended warranty. I am afraid to let anyone ride in the front seat because if i was to have an accident i am afraid airbags will deploy and they will be cut to shreds with dashboard material because of these broken areas on the dashboard. We as consumers need the help of this place to get this recalled to ensure everyone's safety! |
