Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1997 Dodge ram has dashboard cover cracked in several places. Pieces have fallen down into the dash among the internal wiring. This is not just a cosmetic problem. If the pieces themselves do not short out the wiring and cause a fire, the jagged edges could potentially cut open an airbag upon deployment causing a bag failure during a crash.”
