And what you quoted states that be bought it with 150k mi, WHICH MEANS! It had 150,000 miles, no?

 

He bought it new and now it HAS 150K at this time.


UU -- What would be the first item you throw across the table? I'd presume an EMPTY bottle of favorite beverage. lol

 

Well, if that's the case, then he needs to brush up on his grammar and sentence structure skills.

 

I'm not a violent guy so I wouldn't throw anything at him. And he being a forum member it'd be against the rules and an impropriety for me to state what I might say in person.

The way I figure it, if it were a safety issue a recall would have been issued. It was an engineering mistake, sure enough, but it's just cosmetic. Cosmetic defects are to be expected on old, used, high mileage vehicles. Manifestation of perhaps questionable engineering trade-offs are to be expected, too. These things just come with the territory and are nothing to bitch about.

Part of being a man in our technologically advanced culture is being responsible for fixing what breaks regardless of whether or not we really want to. It doesn't really matter whether or not Chrysler could have done a better job in the engineering and/or manufacturing -- from bumper to bumper, your truck is 100% your responsibility now. If something breaks, fix it or don't at your pleasure and accept what that decision says about your character.

Or jump up and down waving your arms in public, telling everyone you can force to listen that you honestly believe that Chrysler owes you a free repair of the cosmetic defects of your old, used, high mileage pickup truck. And accept what that decision says about your character.

 

Bring what you're smoking when it's plenum time!

 

Get the heck over yourself. If you can't put up with a problem with a vehicle after you've owned it for 15 years and put 10,000 miles on it per, you shouldn't be driving. What ever happened to "buyer beware"? Do you spend money on changing your oil? Or do you email dodge to pay for it because it got dirty again? OMG Dodge my truck needs new tires AGAIN!!! Grow up mr. 60+ years old.

 

A friend of mine at work just bought a 99 with a cracked dash, he was not sniveling since he knew about the problem from a previous Dodge, I did a search on ebay for a dash cover for him and came up with quite a few options so it sounds like many fixes out there and some not very expensive. My 96 just happens to have a cherry dash...so far.

 

I think the op has left the building. I have half a mind to just delete these join-post-disappear threads. The guy posted this same thing in another thread multiple times....then just...left.

 

There was another similar thing not so long ago, too. A guy showed up and posted a new topic about cracked dashes, recalls, recourse, and so on, and was not seen again. Maybe this is the same guy?

 

Whens plenum time??
