| Description of the problem | My 2003 dodge ram 1500 dash is cracking really bad. It has been doing this since the beginning of this year. I feel that if the plastic breaks into pieces they could cause bodily harm. If you are traveling at a high rate of velocity and come to a rapid stop or impact an object it may cause a piece of plastic to break off of the dash and fly into a person potentially harming them and or causing death. There are many complaints about this issue and it needs to be looked into as to why this is happening. Thank you marco. |
