Dash panel is completely broken in 20 to 30 pieces including part that holds Vin plate. I the event of a accident these pieces could be shrapnel that can cause death or serious injury to passengers.
TOP OF DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND COMING TO PIECES. THE RATTLING IS DISTRACTING AND LOOSE FLYING SHARP PIECES WOULD BE A DANGER IN ANY MINOR ACCIDENT OR EVEN A BAD BUMP. THE DEALER COST OF $647 TO REPLACE IT IS RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
CABLE THAT HOLDS FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE IN WHICH MY SPARE TIRE WENT FLYING THROUGH TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS KILLED. VEHICLE IS A 1994 DODGE RAM 2500 PICK-UP TRUCK.
