| Description of the problem | My 2001 dodge ram dashboard is falling apart. Truck is immaculate but my dash looks like a roadmap. Cracks start at the defrost vents and continue up dash meeting each other in places. I know 9 people that own rams in my area and all 9 have cracked dashboards. This is a huge problem and there should be a recall. I love dodge but if they do not stand behind there product and fix what needs to be fixed they will lose me as a consumer forever. |
