Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Purchased truck in december and noticed at that time the spider cracks in the dashboard. I will try to apply adhesive and a molded dashboard to hold it together. Eventually the dash may come into pieces and present an electrical hazard, so I want to try to prevent this with the dashboard kit.”
