THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS PRACTICALLY GONE DUE TO THE CRACKS AND DODGE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE IT WITH ME PAYING FOR IT. SAID IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH WHILE DRIVING IT IS FALLING APART AND ROLLING AROUND THE TRUCK, (DASHBOARD, SEATS AND FLOOR) ALSO BEING I CAN SEE ALL OF THE WIRES UNDER NEATH AND ALL OF IT'S INNERS'. THAT COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE A FIRE. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VIN NUMBER TAPED TO HE WINDSHIELD SO IT DOESN'T FALL OFF AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 131 SOUTH ABOUT 9 O'CLOCK GOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND THE HOOD SOMEHOW OPENED AND FLEW BACK ON MY WINDSHIELD AND SMASHED IT. HIT THE BRAKES AND VEERED OFF THE ROAD. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO BRING THE HOOD BACK DOWN TO STRAP IT. THE HINGES SNAPPED ON ONE SIDE AND RIPPED AND BENT CORNERS OF THE HOOD. THIS TRUCK HAS 123K ON IT WITH NO RUST ON THE HOOD OR MECHANISMS. IF THIS WILL NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE I WILL NOT BE A HAPPY CAMPER.. I WORK ON CARS I KNOW HOW TO LUBE HOOD LATCHES I ALSO KNOW HOW TO CLOSE HOODS. MY VIN DOESN'T PULL UP A RECALL BUT THIS HAPPENED AS A MANUFACTURERS ERROR AND I HOPE THIS WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE . BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK I HAD CHECKED FOR RECALLS. IF THIS WERE TO HAVE POPPED UP ON MY VIN THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I'M JUST GLAD I COULD GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

THE DASH IS CRACKED WITH SHARP PLASTIC PIECES ALL OVER. *TR
DASH IS TOTALLY FALLING APART. I WAS CONCERNED THAT PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK. I AM HAVING DASH REPLACED NOW FOR ABOUT $1400.00 AND I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER CAR OR TRUCK DO THIS. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE ABOUT THIS PLASTIC. THIS IS NOT SUN DAMAGE. *TR

THE DASH STARTED CRACKING MORE AND MORE FOR NO REASON AT ALL. NOW THERE ARE CHUNKS OF THE DASH THAT HAVE FALLEN BEHIND THE DASH. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE WIRING OR CIRCUITRY OR AIR BAGS BEHIND THE DASH BECAUSE THE PIECES THAT HAVE FALLEN HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES. *TR
