| Description of the problem | I bought the truck used with only about 30,000 miles on it. There were tiny cracks in the dashboard but over the next couple of months with the car being parked in the shade, the cracks grew worse and worse until now there are about 5 major cracks and i'm concerned that two will merge to create a hole in my dash. If this happens, the components and concealed wiring will be at risk of failure due to sun exposure and a safety hazard. *jb |
