Description of the problem | My dodge ram 1500 truck's dashboard started breaking up into pieces and has become worse since 2007. Pieces from dash are falling down into the area that houses the speedometer & other electrical components that are vital to the functioning of the vehicle plus we are very concerned about the air bags being exposed. Every time we go over a bump in the road..... Pieces fly off the dashboard & surrounding areas of the dashboard....... My granddaughter was hit by one of these pieces. After checking on computer, i found out that this problem has existed for years on the 2001 dodge ram 1500 pickup, complaints range from california to florida... I am very concerned our safety and the safety of others. Please go online and check complaints about this problem. |
