IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY, IT WOULD SEND SHRAPNEL OF PLASTIC INTO MY PASSENGERS FACE CAUSING GREAT HARM. DODGE SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT UNLESS A RECALL IS DIRECTED. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE THAT THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER BY HAVING A DEFECTIVE DASH ON THE ROAD. *TR

HE NOTICED APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO THAT THERE WERE SMALLER CRACKS WHICH HAVE INCREASED OVER TIME. THE DEALER QUOTED AN ESTIMATE REPAIR COST OF $570.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DIVISION WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY ARE RESEARCHING THE FAILURE AND THAT THEY WILL CONTACT HIM REGARDING IT.

DASH & INNER STRUCTURE STARTED CRACKING IN MY 2001 DODGE RAM. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY. IF IN A ACCIDENT WHERE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED SHRAPNEL COULD EXPLODE IN TO THE AIR AND CAUSE INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS. ALSO THE WIRING UNDER THE COVER CAN BE EXPOSED TO RADIANT HEAT FROM THE SUN AND CAUSE A FIRE. THANKS *TR
