| I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500. the dash cracked in several places a couple of years ago along with the bezel. also have a problem with horn, it is very hard to activate when pushed. these items are a concern being near or part of the air bag deployment if in a crash. i believe the dash and bezel are cheaply made and dodge needs to replace these at what ever cost to prevent possible injury if persons are in a crash while operating or riding in their vehicles. *nm | |||

| The horn is very difficult to use. it must be hit hard at exactly the right spot to function. when in a panic (i.e. when horn use is necessary) it is unlikely that one can hit the right spot. in very cold weather (below freezing) the horn does not work at all. | |||

| The horn is almost impossible to work in an emergency. you have to hit it in exacly the right spot for it to work with a sizable amount of force. i took it to the dealer thinking it was a problem with my vehicle alone. they said they tested it and it was the same as all other horns. i have almost been involved in several accidents because i have not be able to warn a person moving into my lane because i could not get my horn to work. please look into this issue as i feel it poses a threat of danger to anyone who opperates this vehicle. *ak | |||
