| Description of the problem | Extremely severe damage to dash, the entire structure of the dash in my vehicle is in jeopardy of collapse. I contacted daimler-chrysler on two occasions to which their reply was that there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation. The damage has continued forward from the top of the dash in over six points and includes the black trim around the dash itself. I have found others with the same situation and feel that a recall is necessary. *nm |
