| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 is cracked into many sharp, loose pieces. At this point, it's not held together by anything. My concern is that in the event of an accident, the pieces could cause injury to any vehicle occupants. It's been cracked since 2008 when the vehicle was approximately 6 years old. A friend has the same make/model and has the same problem. |
