Consumer Description

SOON AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED CRACKS APPEARING IN THE TRUCKS UPPER DASH, SOON THE CRACKS GREW MORE NUMEROUS AND THEY STARTED TO CONNECT CREATING COMPLETE HOLES OR MISSING CHUNKS OF DASH PLASTIC LEAVING KNIFE LIKE SHARP POINTED EDGES. THIS LEAVES ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE AT RISK OF A LACERATION OR WORSE IF A COLLISION WERE TO OCCUR AND A CHUNK OF PLASTIC BECAME AIRBORNE AND IN CONTACT WITH VITAL AREAS OF THE BODY OR THE BODY WERE TO IMPACT THE DASH DIRECTLY WHERE THE POINTED EDGES ARE. ALSO THE MISSING PIECES ARE DROPPING INTO THE DASH ELECTRONICS AND VENTS CREATING A POSSIBLE MECHANICAL PROBLEM. *TR
