Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2001 dodge that i bought new only has 61,000 original miles on it and the dash has big chunks out of it. started with cracks witch i thought was odd being so new then it just caved in. it has sharp edges on it i know from personal experience. it really is unsafe to drive with the exposed wiring and the sharp edges. i worked for chrysler dealerships from 78-82 and have seem some of their poorer manufacturing. this truck is made very well except for this dangerous dashboard. there are numerous websites and forums that have owners stating exactly what i am stating. chrysler needs to make this right and fix all of the owners up with a new dash made from a different vender that will age with the rest of the vehicle and be safe. i am afraid that if i were to be in an accident the dashboard may be the instrument of death. *tr
