| Description of the problem | I have incurred the dash of my 2001 dodge ram 1500 cracking for approximately the last three years. It has very sharp pieces and is continuing to break. My dealership said that it could be fixed at a very expensive cost. I do not feel that it is up to the consumers of the dodge pickups to have to fix this at their cost. I know of several others in my home town that also drive the 2001 dodge ram and they have incurred the same problems. |
