Description of the problem | The dashboard of my 2001 dodge ram 1500 has fallen apart. There are now holes in it. When i first contacted dodge about the problem they said they had no recall on it but to continue to watch for it, as several people have reported this same problem. My question is this, if so many people across the us are having the same issue with their 2001 dodge, then there has to be a problem with manufacturing when they molded the plastic. When is dodge going to step up and take responsibility for an investment that is falling apart, that is their fault? Not only has the dash cracked on our auto but, the cigarette lighter busted loose from the plastic and is now located somewhere in the dash. The headliner and one of the interior fold down mirrors has come apart. This auto is literally falling apart in the cab. Please tell me you are going to investigate this properly. I know of at least 3 other people who live in my area who are having the same problem with their 2001 dodge ram. |
