Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED INTO MANY SHARP LOOSE PIECES. THESE PIECES COULD FALL INTO THE WIRING AND OTHER COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH OR FLY INTO THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS WOULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND FELLOW MOTORIST. THE FIX AS FAR AS I CAN DETERMINE IS VERY COSTLY AND EXTENSIVE. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM FAULTY MATERIALS USED IN MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INSTANCE OF MATERIAL FAILURE ON THIS MODEL YEAR TRUCK. I HAVE READ OF MANY SUCH OCCURRENCES AND HOPE THIS WILL BE RESOLVED SOON. *TR
