THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A CRACK ON THE TOP, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE GLOVE BOS. IT STARTED OUT AS ONLY A SMALL CRACK BUT IS OPENING UP. THE ENTIRE AREA FEELS VERY SOFT WHEN CLEANING IT, SO I ASSUME WITH MOST OF THE OTHER COMMENTS, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT COMPLETELY FALLS APART. ALSO WHY HAS THERE BEEN NOTHING DONE WITH THE REAR FENDERS ON THE DODGE RAM 1500 P.U. THE FENDERS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE I SEE ARE RUSTED OUT, WAS TOLD THEY USED A CHEAPER METAL FOR THOSE FENDERS. GLAD THEY USED JUNK, BIT DIDN'T CHARGE YOU THAT WAY. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD TAKE PRIDE IN THE VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AS, PARTS BREAK AND FLY DURING ACCIDENTS. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND USED THE BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD ALLOW HER TO SLOW DOWN AND REGAIN CONTROL CAUSE IT KEPT KICKING THE PEDAL BACK WITH NO BRAKING CONTROL WHATSOEVER. SHE HIT A GUARD RAIL AND AS THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED A PIECE OF METAL INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSED APPROX A 1 1/2 INCH TEAR IN THE SIDE OF THE AIR BAG CAUSING TO NOT INFLATE AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO HER NECK SEVERALLY TO THE POINT WHERE SHE NEEDS SURGERY NOW TO HAVE CERVICAL VERTEBRAE FUSED TOGETHER AND EXTREME SHOULDER PAIN AND UNSURE OF THE CAUSE FOR THAT NOW. IF THIS AIR BAG WOULD NOT HAVE TORE AND WORKED PROPERLY SHE WOULD HAVE A SOAR FACE RIGHT NOW AND NOT NEEDING SURGERY. YES WE FULLY INTEND TO START MAKING INQUIRIES TO LAWYERS STARTING 3/2/2015 AND FIND A REMEDY BECAUSE WITH ALL THE AIR BAG PROBLEMS DODGE HAS HAD THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. *TR
