| Description of the problem | The dash in my 2003 dodge ram with 40,000 miles on it has large cracks in several places and getting worse. Earlier this year a piece of the dash fell in a ac vent and wedged the ac close in the dash, i had to pay over $150. 00 to repair the ac, only to find out it was also due to the cracked dash. I have called dodge and was told that the truck is no longer in warranty and it was now my problem because as of now there are no recalls for this problem. |
