| Description of the problem | The dash board is all cracked up now do to dodge using cheap materials. I have always put up a sun shade no matter where i park my truck and it is always in my garage when not being driven. Shame on dodge chrysler products for making such a garbage truck. And the rack & pinion steering should last alot longer than it has. No wonder people buy foreign autos. They are far superior. |
