THE DASH IN MY 1999 DODGE RAM PICKUP TRUCK HAS CRACKED, THE CRACKING STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING IT BUT IT IS WAY EXPENSIVE AND HAVE HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF TRUCK HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS TOO. IT WAS BROUGHT MORE TO MY ATTENTION WHEN I SAW IT ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT. I FEEL IF I PAID OVER $18,000 DOLLARS AND MORE FROM MY TRUCK IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A CRACKING DASH MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I CONTACTED DODGE BUT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED COSMETIC, BUT IF ITS COSMETIC THEN WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO EVERYBODY THAT OWNS A DODGE RAM?? I AM SCARED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY PIECES CAN FLY UP IF YOU HIT THE SLIGHTNESS BUMP AND WHAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? *TR

DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. NOT SAFE TO RIDE IN FOR ANY PASSENGER OR DRIVER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON LONG ENOUGH. EQUIPMENT FAILURE IS PART OF WHY THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ENTERED HERE. DOES NO ONE LISTEN? AIRBAGS, SHARP CORNERS, ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHAT MORE HAS TO HAPPEN? *KB

MY DASH COMPLETELY HAS COLLAPSED, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE ON ANY VEHICLE. THEN I READ THE BLOBS AND SAW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ARE TRUCKS, AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AT WHAT POINT DO WE SAY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY THE SAME THING BEFORE SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING, THEY ARE NOT EVEN OFFERING A REASONABLE REPAIR. $1000 TO REPLACE THE DASH IS A JOKE, A PLASTIC COVER, ARE YOU KIDDING! DODGE DOES NOT EVEN MAKE THIS DASH ANY MORE SO IT IS SUPPLY AND DEMAND! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. *TR
