| Description of the problem | The dash of my vehicle began to crack approximately one year ago, first there was a single crack beginning closest to the windshield in front of the passenger seat and crossing the dash ending in the center of the dash. Since then several other cracks have surfaced that are beginning to affect the defrost, heating/ac and may begin to affect the air bog operation and possible the under dash wiring. Multiple other reports identify that the manufacturer refuses to correct the problem. |
