Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTED DASH. I AM ON A FORUM DEDICATED TO ECLIPSES WHICH LEAD TO THIS SITE AND ALL ECLIPSES (00-02 AND EVEN STARTING ON 03 I BELIEVE) DASHES ARE CRACKING REALLY BAD. MY DASH ALONE HAS SEVERAL (AROUND 8) CRACKS AND SOME OF THOSE CRACKS LEAD TO PIECES OF THE DASH THAT ISN'T EVEN CONNECTED ANYMORE. I HAVE 2 FREE ROAMING PIECES ON MY DASH THAT WILL RANDOMLY FLY OFF AND SLIDE AROUND WHILE TURNING OR SHIFTING THE CAR. NOW I DON'T BELIEVE THIS CAN CAUSE ANY CAR FAILURES OR DEATH, BUT I BELIEVE THE DASHES SHOULDN'T BE FALLING APART FOR ANY REASON. I THINK MITSUBISHI SHOULD RECALL THE DASH WITH BETTER AND MORE STURDY MATERIAL. *NM
