| Description of the problem | I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 truck. Several years ago the dashboard started cracking and caving in. Right now there is a massive hole with sharp pieces that continually break off and pose a danger everytime i need to reach on the dash. My wiring is exposed and starting to cause problems. This is a defect from dodge and i need to have it fixed before an injury to myself or my family occurs. |
