This is absolutely ridiculous. The cracks started showing up small and almost unnoticeable. Then I noticed there were cracks ALL OVER the dashboard. Next my vents and speaker covers have all but completely caved in. Now my AC doesn't work after it has only even turned on when the control is all the way on high for 2 years, however the fan blew at whatever speed it wanted. Because of the Florida sun? TOO BAD I HAVE A DASH COVER ON IT! All Dodge has to do is admit they made a mistake and recall it. This is my first vehicle I've ever had, and I've always taken exceptional care of it. Dodge-you will NEVER get another CENT of my hard earned money.
