| Description of the problem | My truck is 6 years old i bought in 2002 with 2 miles on it. It now has 100,000 miles on it and i was driving to work the other day and part of dash collapsed in above the driver side steering wheel. I almost wrecked when that happened. I checked online and noticed a lot of complaints about the dash cracking and dodge was not doing anything about it. |
