TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD THREE CRACKS IN IT WHICH ALLOWED COLD AIR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO BECOME FOGGY MAKING VISIBILITY POOR. THERE WAS A CRACK LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE OTHER TWO CRACKS WERE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD BY THE DEFROST VENT WHICH FAILED TO MINIMIZE THE FOG. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE COVERED BUT LATER NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT SINCE THE CASE WAS CLOSED, THE COST WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE TWO CRACKS RUNNING SIDE BY SIDE FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM ON OCTOBER 5, 2005.

THE LAMINATE HAS COME APART FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *AK *SC

#10036701 | August 27, 2003

THE STRIP OF PLASTIC THAT RUNS BEHIND THE DASHBOARD, CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE. IN ORDER TO FIX THE CRACK THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I USE A PROTECTANT ON MY INTERIOR AND A WINDSHEILD SHADE AS WELL WHEN I LEAVE MY CAR PARKED. THE CRACK IS VERY UNSIGHTLY ON SUCH A NEW CAR AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD.*AK
