Description of the problem | I, like many others are experiencing cracked dash problems. I have had my 2000 ram 1500 and now my 2001 ram 1500 dashes crack and fall apart. The dealerships tell me that dodge does not support repair or replacement of the dash. They no longer stock and back orders are ignored the dash and the instrument bezel that cracks over a short period of time. This is a safety issue as the 2000 truck was totaled in a wreck and i was injured by the dash debris and not the accident. |
