“Bought the truck in 2005, it was a 98 dodge ram 1500, and it had a perfect dashboard on it. Now in 2007 the dashb oard cracked. Had no wrecks on record. Im afraid it might deploy my airbag or keep crackn off. I disn't have a new one yet but I would appreciate it if you investigate this problem. Thank you. Ak”
