Consumer Description

THE FAILURE IS MY DASHBOARD. THE CARE IS A 2002 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GS. THE DASH STARTED CRACKING ALL OVER THE TOP BACK IN SEPTEMBER. AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. FORUMS THAT I AM A MEMBER OF ALSO HAVE MANY THIRD GENERATION ECLIPSE OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AS A DEFECT AND WILL DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *NM
