The dash has completely desegregated exposing all the wires, air conditioning unit, and airbag parts. This is a huge hazard because my headlight switch hangs with nothing to attach to. My airbags are completely visible and could explode at anytime. Everything that was in the dash heated seat, headlight, air system, radio, speedometer, and airbag controls are completely visible and all attachments are completely desegregated I do not know if this also caused the loose steering in my vehicle but I assume it did the steering wheel will turn about a quarter turn before it ever engages the wheels and when driving you must constantly move the wheel back and forth to keep the car in the road I feel as though this is a major issue that has not been recalled in the Dodge rams all models of my year truck that has been reported several times and should be fixed there are plenty of these trucks on the road still and all have the same issues I cannot afford another vehicle and would like for mine to be recalled and fixed so I can drive it safely without worrying about the airbags deploying or the steering being so lose it causes me to have a accident. When the plastic degenerates it also leaves extremely sharp edges that will cut you extremely deep I have been cut several times getting things from the dash pad I have lid across it covering the gapping hole. Thank you for your time and consideration . Side note I tried to upload pictures of the dash or what's left of it but it would not let me.

The dash just started to crack and fall apart into small and large very sharp pieces. What would happen in an accident? these sharp plastic parts could fly right into the driver and passengers faces.
My dash is cracking and large sharp peices of it are just laying on the dash, it seems to get worse every time I look at it. I am worried those peices will fly up and into my face or my childres face while driving down the road. The only thing I can think of to do is try to glue them back down. Even so it continues to crack and what if I dont katch a new cracked peice and it does hurt someone.
Dash is falling apart. If the airbag deploys plastic shards are going to fly also plastic shards are falling into my vents and blowing out my a/c vents and hitting me in the face.
Cruise control operated poorly, consumer took vehicle to dealer, they stated vehicle needed a clockspring.
