| Description of the problem | I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The other day, i got into my truck and noticed a small crack in the center of the dash near the vent. Next day, i get in and there are 4 cracks. Today, my dash cracked over the edge near the passenger side airbag. After getting online and seeing that this is a common problem, i would like to see something done about this issue (ie - free dash replacements from dodge). I have had no other complaints about this truck but this is a little ridiculous. This is definitely a manufacturer problem and should be replaced for free. This is what chrysler/dodge gets for trying to cheapen their materials in order to save a buck. |
