Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:BODY
Owner Narrative
THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, RADIO, AND HEAT/AC CONTROLS IS BREAKING INTO PIECES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SHARP AND JAGGED EDGES AND LOOSE MATERIAL ALL THROUGHOUT THE DASH AREA. CURRENTLY I HAVE ZIP TIES HOLDING MY HEAT/AC CONTROLS IN PLACE AND 2 REMAINING FACTORY SCREWS HOLDING MY RADIO IN PLACE. THE TOP PORTION OF THE DASH ALSO HAS FAILED AND FALLEN APART OVER THE YEARS AND DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT. I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT LOWER DASH ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE MINE WITH.
