| Description of the problem | I have a 2001 dodge ram pickup, the dash board is cracking all over. There are complete pieces which fell through one in the largest size the of 8"x6, there are many more holes also in the dash. I know of numerous other 2001 dodge ram pickup owners who have the same defect in there vehicle. If the vehicle was involved in an accident a piece of the dash could easily fly up and into the face or eye of the driver or front seat passenger, causing serious injuries or life changing (blind) event.. |
