I believe i purchased the vehicle into thousand two and in approximately 2006, they dashboard started severely cracking and falling apart in pieces. i purchased a dashboard cover to try to hold the dashboard in place and prevent chunks of the dashboard from flying loose and hitting either myself or a passenger in the vehicle. on december 23, 2017, i was driving and a chunk of the dashboard flew out of the air conditioner vent and hit me in the eye. luckily i was not hurt but i am very concerned this will not be the case next time. i don't have another vehicle to drive and i got an estimate for $1500 to replace it and i don't have the money to do this, neither should i have to replace it because i've done research and it was a major faulty defect on the manufactures part. please contact me asap to resolve this issue so that i'm not injured or a passenger riding with me is not injured. my number is [xxx] and my email address is [xxx] since i have to drive this vehicle because i don?t have ...
