BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM DEALERSHIP. DASHBOARD ALREADY SLIGHTLY CRACKED. PREVIOUS OWNER SAID DASH JUST STARTED CRACKING ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. THE DASH JUST FALLS APART AS A RESULT OF POOR MANUFACTURING. ELECTRICAL WIRING IS IN DANGER OF FAILING DUE TO GAPING HOLE IN DASH. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR MISTAKE. DODGE WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS AND JUST ID NOTHING. *TR
