Air Conditioner Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

This 2003 Dodge 2500 has a cracked and crumbling dashboard while driving pieces of the dashboard fly into the air and hit the driver and passengers in the face. This happens when I have the windows down while driving. The reason I have the windows down is because the air conditioning doesn't work and I can't get it fixed because no mechanic will take apart the dashboard because it would have to be replaced if it is taken apart.

I was driving down the road and turned on the heater in my truck and the windshield immediately fogged up to the point I could not see. I had to roll down the window to see out and to pull over to the side of the road to avoid a head on collision. Once I was stopped I noticed the problem was no matter what position I set the defrost or heat on, the air only blew out the vents on the dash panel. I went to the Dodge dealer and they told me the whole dash had to come out of my truck, drain the cooling system and air conditioning system to replace some broken plastic parts, costing around 1,500. 00 to 2,000. 00. After researching this problem on line, I have found numerous people, all with the same problem. I feel this is a safety hazard because within 5 seconds my vision was completely obstructed and could have not only resulted in my death but that of someone else. This truck almost killed me once when it jumped into reverse and almost ran over me. Yes they ended up creating a recall for this problem, but that did not pay to repair my truck or my neighbors house that my truck ran into. I think it is unfair for us as consumers to continue to pay for Dodge's flawed engineering. They have a TSB on this problem so they are completely aware of it.

The air conditioner blows warmer air out passenger vents than from the driver side vents. Also, when we have it on face only air still comes out of the feet vents. We took it in and they said there was nothing they could do about it. We feel the a/c should cool more efficiently.

I have a 2003 Dodge ram2500 that has a cracked dashboard and the cracks are getting worse. Since this is a problem that Dodge has acknowledged I feel this should be put into a recall situation and Dodge should be responsible for this problem. I have had problems with my air conditioner and I am not certain but the cracked dashboard could be causing other problems with my truck.

Dash cracked and falling apart and falling into the defroster ducts. Plastic parts have jammed the heater/defroster/air conditioning controls/flappers.
