2001 Dodge RAM 1500 Structure Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1142488
Internal NHTSA #	10668012
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2001
File date	13/10/10
Component	STRUCTURE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The dashboard and the dashboard bezel have disintegrated and caved in, literally falling to pieces in chunks around me inside of the cab on this vehicle causing numerous problems, falling pieces from the dashboard have caused the accelerator to become jammed when pieces lodge in the operating system, electrical wiring has become exposed resulting in premature failures. The defroster vents have become dislocated because they are attached to the dashboard which for all intensive purposes no longer exists, thus they do not work properly causing lack of vision when the windshield fogs and is unable to be cleared of that fog at high speeds, the result is creating an extremely dangerous high speed situation. I do not understand what the problem is with dodge these parts are very simple to install, there is no reason why dodge cannot simply supply its customers with replacement parts and let us install them ourselves. These parts are all made of plastic and should cost no more than a few dollars to mfg. If dodge were to supply these parts to all of the vehicle affected i seriously doubt that the cost would be more than 1m dollars and i would bet that the shipping would be more than the actual parts themselves.
