| Description of the problem | The dash on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 has cracked in multiple places due to defective plastics. I understand i am not the only person with this issue. Where this has become a safety issue is the sharpness of the parts. My son and i have both sliced our hands open when cleaning the dash, even trying to be careful. This is a safety issue and should be addressed by chrysler. See the following website as i am not the only person with this issue. Http://www. Dodgeproblems. Com/cracked-dashboard. Shtml. |
