I own a 1999 Dodge Ram. As I understand, you have received tens of thousands of complaints regarding the dash plastic failure. As I read the posts, I see that an overwhelming majority of these vehicles (Dodge Ram) all have the same problem. The entire plastic dash splinters into shards, regardless of time or care and upkeep. So has mine. I would like to emphatically add my name to the growing list of disgusted owners. I am more than concerned about the shards of plastic around the airbag. What will happen to my passenger(s) if the air bag deploys? I work as a firefighter, and have seen first-hand the results of the violent air bag deployment. I can't imagine the extent of the additional injuries if sharp pieces of plastic are added to the blast of the airbag. This is not merely an issue of aesthetics or poor craftsmanship. It is a monumental safety issue. Please help. Sent respectfully

I was in an auto accident where I rear ended a tractor trailer. I was traveling 70mph and the tractor trailer 55mph. I hit the truck exactly perpendicular and the front of my truck was crushed in about 2 feet. The frame was severly damaged and had to be replaced. I am filing this because the body shop highly recommended we take action. He said the area where the sensors for the airbags are located was mangled and that the airbags should have deployed. The airbag system was checked by john keltner (lic. # 35844). His remarks were that the system test was performed and no problems were found at this time and no repairs were needed. I am aware of some recalls with Dodge and wanted to be sure the airbag systems would be covered. Thank you for your help.
