Consumer Description

FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING. IT HAS GOTTEN SUCCESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT NOW THAT THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS REFLECTING ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE REFLECTION HAS GOTTEN SO BAD DURING THE DAY WHEN THE SUN IS OUT THAT THE VISIBILITY IS GREATLY IMPAIRED. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE OTHER DAY AND HE TOLD ME HE COULD NOT SEE OUT BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. THAT IS THE POINT WHERE I DECIDED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR THE PART BUT THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PAY $170.00 FOR THE LABOR. THIS IS HAPPENING THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. IT IS A SAFETY RISK FOR WHOEVER IS DRIVING THE CAR AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE COVERED COMPLETELY BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE THERE IS LIVES LOST THROUGH THIS. *TR
