I HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM TRUCK 2500 SERIES 4X4. THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS TOTALLY CAVED IN AND FALLEN ON THE CONTROLS, AIRBAG, FAN AND WIRING. I CAN'T EVEN GET TO SOME OF THE PIECES OF THE PLASTIC. I HAVE READ AND HEARD ON THE RADIO/TV THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF DODGE OWNERS ARE HAVING IT ISN'T JUST ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIALS THAT DODGE IS USING IN THEY'RE PLASTIC AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. *TR

I'VE NOTICED RECENT NEW STORIES ABOUT DODGE TRUCK DASH BOARD COLLAPSE PROBLEMS. UNFORTUNATELY, DURING THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, DODGE REFUSED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE DASH IS A TOTAL WRITE OFF NOW AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO NOTICE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR
