Description of the problem | The dash of this and other affiliated models are prone to cracking due to a rigid, brittle material and a design that was not fortified or substantial enough to resist the forces of vibration that are common in such vehicles. The dash of my vehicle cracked at the apex of the instrument panel binnacle, the defogger vents at the base of the windshield and surrounding the cover of the pasenger side airbag. To replace the unit would be $1200+ and it would be with a piece of the same design. This is a safety hazard and it is loud and unsightly |
