| Description of the problem | Dashboard on 2002 dodge ram has cracked from front to back. After reading all complaints on this problem, i believe something (recall) needs to be done. Local dealership stated a cost of $2,550 to fix. Afraid that this will cause electrical problems as has so many of the complaints read so far. It would be nice to see the government make dodge step up and pay for the cheap parts they put in their vehicles. Got a suggestion. Since the government owns dodge, why don't you put some of my tax dollars towards fixing my truck. I know i can't afford $2,550. |
