| Description of the problem | The dashboard of my 2002 dodge ram 1500 has several large cracks and parts are starting to brake away. I feel that this could cause harm to me or my passengers if involved in an accident. I feel that it is very unsafe due to sharp hard plastic parts of the dash that could do serious harm. I also feel that this could affect the defrost duct and cause the defroster to not work properly. |
