Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE IS VERY SELDOM DRIVEN, ONCE A WEEK 1/4 MILE. IT IS PARKED WITH A WINDSHIELD COVER ACROSS WINDSHIELD TO PROTECT DASH. THE DASH IS COMPLETELY FALLING APART IN PIECES. IT BEGAN WITH SMALL HAIRLINE CRACKS, THEN PIECES BEGAN TO FALL IN. IT APPEARS THAT A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WAS USED TO MAKE THE DASHBOARD. THE PLASTIC HAS TURNED INTO A CERAMIC TYPE MATERIAL. NOW HUGE PIECES ARE FALLING IN. I ORDERED A DASHBOARD COVER WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN BUT BEFORE IT HAS EVEN ARRIVED I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING LEFT TO PLACE THE COVER ON. *TR
