| Description of the problem | I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500. This truck has a big problem with the dash. The dash start cracking really bad. Dodge does not want to take responsibility to fix the problem. For a truck that is less then 10 years old that i paid 32,000 dollars for the dash should not be cracking. I believe dodge so have a recall for the dashes because almost every ones dodge ram dash is cracked. I did a web search and every ones dash cracks in the same spot right over the air bag. The air bags in my truck have never been deployed. I am sure if this truck was ever in a wreck the air bag could get stuck in the crack and wont get deployed to save a life. Thanks dodge |
