Air Conditioner problems of the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500

I believe I purchased the vehicle into thousand two and in approximately 2006, they dashboard started severely cracking and falling apart in pieces. I purchased a dashboard cover to try to hold the dashboard in place and prevent chunks of the dashboard from flying loose and hitting either myself or a passenger in the vehicle. On December 23, 2017, I was driving and a chunk of the dashboard flew out of the air conditioner vent and hit me in the eye. Luckily I was not hurt but I am very concerned this will not be the case next time. I don't have another vehicle to drive and I got an estimate for $1500 to replace it and I don't have the money to do this, neither should I have to replace it because I've done research and it was a major faulty defect on the manufactures part. Please contact me ASAP to resolve this issue so that I'm not injured or a passenger riding with me is not injured. My number is 713-857-6635 and my email address is vtravis123@gmail. Com. Since I have to drive this vehicle because I don't have another one and can't afford to replace the dashboard, if anyone is injured due to this problem, I will hold the manufacture responsible. I'm unable to take any pictures of the dashboard because if I remove the dashboard cover, chunks of the plastic sharp dashboard will fall into the inside of the panel and possibly damage the vehicle even more.
