Owner Narrative

I WAS WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DASHBOARDS ON DODGE RAM PICKUPS IN THE 94-02 MODEL YEARS. I HAVE A 1997 DODGE RAM 2500 THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD WITH A SERIES FORMING A HOLE AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD. MY VIN WAS NO LONGER SECURED TO THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO DODGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT, BUT I WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. THERE WERE MULTIPLE PEOPLE I KNEW THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM AS WELL. *AK
