Description of the problem	I have a 2001 dodge ram 4x4 1500 truck. A little over two years ago i noticed that the dash board started to crack for unknown reasons. Now my dash has big holes in it where the dash is just falling apart. Parts of the dash have fell through into the vents and then just cracking off in big pieces. Which leaves the area exposed. I have been cut when the pieces just crack off and they have very sharp edges. I also have a son that was injured when he applied a small amount of pressure, trying to get into the truck and his hand went through it where it was so brittle and just broke. He was cut pretty good. I have a big piece under my seat. My dash is a huge safety hazard. The air bag on passenger side has been turned off because i don't want sharp pieces to hurt anyone if i have a wreck. Also theirs not a dash there for any support. These sharp pieces pose a safety concern. I can't replace the dash due to the fact all the other dashes were made out of the same product and it will just crack over time too. The dash is still in my truck, well what's left of it.
