| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dashboard cracking, breaking, on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 quadcab. there have been rashes of this type of complaint on '01 dodge ram 1500's, i would like my '02 dodge ram to be included in any settlement, should there become a class action event brought against daimlerchrysler. here in central florida the sun degades many items of plastic type manufacture. i believe this is what has caused my problem with the deterioration of my dashboard, it could also be from something else in nature. i taped over the cracks with plastic tape, and bought a carpeted dash cover from jcwhitney, made for my '02 dodge pick up. in the mean time the little grille area over the center passenger defrost vent deteriorated to the extent that it fell into the vent. i fished it out, but it broke in my hands in the process of trying to retrieve it. by covering the dash, i have not seen a progression of the cracking, but i have to look at that "4x4" (approx.) sized hole every time i got to drive my truck. also, as reported on local tv the last two (2) nights, at least one of these faulty dash boards has failed, and is causing head lites to go off on their own while driving. i am a 100% disabled veteran, and use my truck to carry my elec.powerd scooter, every where i go, and do drive after dark. i do not need this kind of thing worrying me as i drive. *tr |
