THE DASHBOARD OF MY DODGE RAM TRUCK IS CRACKED. WHEN I SAY CRACKED I DON'T MEAN A SMALL CRACK BUT CRACKS ALL OVER THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. IT IS CRACKED SO BADLY THAT I FEAR PIECES OF THE HARD PLASTIC ARE GOING TO BREAK OFF DURING OUR TRAVELS AND CAUSE INJURY TO ME ,MY PASSENGERS OR MY GRANDCHILDREN. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE CRACKS WOULD FLY OFF AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS OR MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS IS A PROBLEM IN A LOT OF THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS. IT IS NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM BUT A DANGER TO THE LIFE OF PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE.

OVER A PERIOD OF A FEW YEARS THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND SMALL PIECES BREAKING OFF. RECENTLY THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATOR COIL WHICH IS UNDER THE DASH. WHEN THEY STARTED TO REMOVE THE DASH IT BROKE INTO SMALL PIECES. I WAS NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED A DASH COVER FROM AN ONLINE COMPANY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NOT A COSMETIC PROBLEM, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS SUPPORTED BY THIS DASH AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT OF EXTRA WORK TO KEEP THE AIRBAG IN POSITION. IT COST ME AN EXTRA $400.00. THE NHTSA IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN EXTENSIVE PROBLEM YET YOU REFUSE TO CONSIDER A RECALL BECAUSE YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A COSMETIC ISSUE. ARE YOU AWARE THAT AN AIRBAG IS SUSPENDED FROM THIS DASH AND IF THE DASH CRUMBLES SO DOES THE AIRBAG AND VERY POSSIBLY WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT
