Description of the problem	My 2001 dodge ram 1500 has had the dashboard disintegrating since 30,000 miles as i was informed by the previous owner. It only had cracks but since i have owned it the dash has literally disintegrated with sharp objects flying about the cab when windows are down. My research suggest that chrysler used inferior products as a cost reduction, did not acquire the proper manufacturing temperatures which results in cracking, and the dash is inadequately mounted causing flexing. This is a very dangerous situation......... And not a cosmetic issue as dodge has hidden behind!! When the dash breaks, sharp objects are in flight throughout the cab. When it breaks near the air bags, i believe they will deploy themselves and that alone is a serious event while driving in traffic! Dodge has a history all the way back to my first purchase of a brand new 1973 dodge ram, ignoring warranty and making excuses of why things aren't their fault! It's high time this company assumes it's responsibility especially after tax payers bailed them out!!!! I have fought many battles with this company concerning warranty issues as well where a brand new 1976 dodge ram i purchased spun the races in the rears as a result of defective manufacturing!!! The time for making excuses is old, it's time for action and assuming responsibility for an inferior product!!!
