MY 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP TRUCK HAS A CRACKED DASH, AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN LARGEST PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD TO BREAK COMPLETELY OFF. I NOW HAVE HUGE HOLES WHERE A DASH IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE TRUCK AS IT HAS EXPOSED COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE HAD MANY, MANY CARS AND TRUCKS IN MY LIFETIME, AND HAVE KEPT MANY OF THESE CARS AND TRUCKS FOR MORE THAN 10-15 YEARS, AND NONE HAS EVER HAD A DASHBOARD CRACK. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. OBVIOUSLY, DUE TO THE HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT OF DODGE RAM TRUCKS. *TR
