| Description of the problem | I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 p/u truck. I'm aware that it's out of warranty. I plan to keep this truck until i die. The dashboard is completely damaged. I now have a dash cover over it. And it's seem to be falling in as well. Please consider replacing my dash since it's the wrong material on all 3rd gens were made out of polyvinyl chloride. As time passes they dry out and crack. Causing pieces to fall inside causing problems with the blower and electrical system. I plan to travel from san diego ca to chicago ill. In august in my truck, i can't put anything on the dashboard without the fear of damage or malfunction to the electronics or other parts underneath. With liquids or more plastics falling inside or passing though the the dash cover its not water proof or water resistant please help... Please help save my truck, please and keep me safe on the road. |
