Default 3rd Gen Cracked Dash

I am looking for anyone who has or had a cracked dash on a 3rd gen Dodge. We are getting very close to the NHTSA forcing Dodge to address the situation. If you had a cracked dash and paid to fix it, you should be able to get a reimbursement from Dodge once this is finalized. This is more than a cosmetic issue. In the event of a crash those broken pieces are going to become projectiles in the cab.

What I am asking is for everyone with this issue past or present to go to the following links and file a grievance. The only chance we have is joining together.

NHTSA

and

Auto Beef

I will keep everyone posted on the progress.
