| Description of the problem | I bought my 2001 dodge ram 1500 nov 2004, everything on my dash was fine. I went on a detachment for two weeks and when i got back i noticed a small crack in the middle of my dash. I went to the dodge dealer and they said there was nothing that they could do. So i started looking for a new one and no one sold it online except for in the junkyards which most of them were worse then mine. I went on cruise at the end of 2005. My father had my truck while i was gone. When i had returned not only did the crack get bigger but a hole grew right in the middle of my dash. My dash is in two pieces now and is a hazard to my child and myself. I can't turn my airbag on the passenger side in fear that it will kill my passengers if i get into an accident. |
