| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup ext. Cab/short bed. Like most other dodge ram owners of that year, my dash is completely falling apart. There are cracks all over it and two large holes have caved in on the dash. I have another hole getting ready to cave in on the passenger side. I have noticed on many websites that this is a known issue with the 1996-2001 dodge ram trucks and dodge will do nothing about it because it isn't a "recall issue". |
