2002 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD OF A DODGE RAM 1500 2002. MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED UP IN 9 PIECES. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ABOUT $800.00 AND THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SO IN LESS THAN A YEARS I'M GOING TO END UP WHERE I STARTED OR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE REPLACEMENT PART WHICH MEANS THAT IF I GO THERE RIGHT NOW AND BUY THIS PART I'M GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM THAT I BOUGHT USED IN 2006. I DID NOT HAVE THE TRUCK SIX MONTHS AND I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I NOTICED TWO MORE INCLUDING THE SPEAKER GRILLS IN THE DASH COMPLETELY FALLING APART. THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO THE FACE IF IN AN ACCIDENT. ONCE IT STARTS CRACKING IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES FOR NOT ONLY EXPOSED WIRES BUT ALSO AIRBAGS THAT IF DEPLOYED WILL SEND SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC EVERYWHERE. *TR
