| Description of the problem | I have a 2002 dodge pickup with a cracked dash. I had to replace the heater core and when the dash was removed i noticed cracks all in the dash. While removing the dash i and my helper both sustained severe cuts from very sharp edges of the broken dash. This prompted me to file this complaint because of the nature and shape of the cracks can cause severe injury or even death to occupants, especially children,in the event of a crash as well as cuts and abrasions when simply entering and exiting the vehicle. |
