| Description of the problem | The dashboard on this vehicle has broken into many jagged pieces. This was not caused by myself or by the vehicle's age. It was caused by the use of faulty materials. If i were to get into accident, these jagged pieces could easily be projected into me. I have contacted the manufacturer three times about this and they refuse to fix their mistake. |
