THE DASH AND DASH COMPONENTS ARE CRACKING AND OR BREAKING CAUSING SHARP EDGES AND FLAYING DEBRIS. I HAVE RESORTED TO USING GORILLA GLUE AND A DASH MAT TO MINIMIZE THESE ISSUES BUT IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THIS IS NO LONGER SUFFICIENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A DEALER AND I HAVE HAD THEM INSPECT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED.

JUST BOUGHT THIS VEICLE SECOND OWNER OF SAID VEHICLE LOOK IT ALL OVER. BROUGHT IT TO A.DEALER SHIP TO HAVE A STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED AND THE FRAME CRUNCHED ON THE LIFT. NOTE THE FRAME STILL HAD BLACK PAINT ON IT FROM.FACTORY. THE FRAME LITERALLY ROTTED FROM INSIDE OUT. AND IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ON WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS FRAME HAS NOT LASTED ANYWHERE NEAR THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE VEHICLE 20 YRS. AND THERE ARE WAY OLDER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD THAT STILL ARE PERFECT. TOYOTA GETS A FRAME RECALL BUT THIS DODGE WON'T AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SO. THIS IS A PROBLEM CONSIDERING IT'S ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I SEE FRAMES BRAKING WHILE DRIVING THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
