| Description of the problem | 2002 dodge ram 1500 very well kept and clean, dash has cracked in several places and is now seperating and is very near airbag on passenger side! I do not believe that this is safe anymore! The airbad my be deployed and hurt someone! I am very unhappy with this situation and also own another dodge (magnum) but will gladly switch to another manufacturer if this isn't looked into and something done to correct the problem!! There are many of these cracked dashes out there now and dodge is looking at many unhappy customers and must deal with this and soon!!!! |
