problem #1

Mar 032007

(reported on)

Ram 1500 LX 5.9L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

Around 65,000 miles the dashboard started cracking from the windshield all the way to the front. There were 6 cracks within a 6 month period and the dealer said it was out of warranty. Dealer wanted 1200 bucks to repair- I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD PURCHASED MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT. I don't believe they really cared. My truck has been well taken care of and this is obviously a manufacturing defect but they will do nothing about it. Screw Chrysler!
