| Description of the problem | I have owned my dodge ram from the very beginning and noticed early on that i had a crack in my dash board dealership stated they could do nothing form me. So i chalked it up to adds character to my truck. However, i turned the a/c on high and proceeded to get hit with a piece of plastic from my dash board. As of this writing i expect my whole dash to cave in. I have multiple cracks that run the entire length of the dashboard. 3 of the 4 vent holes have completely fallen apart. |
