Description of the problem	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 [xxx] and my email address is [xxx] 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.
