Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Since approximately, nov 2009, the entire dash of this vehicle has been slowly cracking and deteriorating, several pieces have fallen inside the dash which make retrieveing the broken pieces impossible. There are holes in the dash as well as numerous cracks, my concern is this ongoing issue will lead to a major collapse of the dash driving down a road, and or the unretrievable pieces rubbing on wires and causing a short resulting in a fire. I have tried to reason with daimler chrysler corp, but all i get is there is nothing we can do. I have never had such a issue with the dash cracking and deteriorating that this is a concern as well as a safety hazard for myself as well as other dodge owners. (the area i am trying to describe is from the top of the dashboard clear to the windshield ) all i would like to do is get the dash replaced, so i can pass this vehicle on to one of my kids without worries of any further incidents thanks for your time, i look forward to discussing this matter with you.
