| Description of the problem | Noticed a crack in my dashboard in january 2007. It was getting worse. I have found many website forums regarding this same problem with the 2003 dodge ram 1500, and they started the same way and got bad enough that the dashboards fell in, creating a safety hazard. I feel there should be a recall from dodge chrysler on this but i could not find one anywhere. I fell that dodge should replace the dashboard with a suitable one free of charge.*ak |
