The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. The contact stated that the dashboard cracked causing sharp edges. The contact also stated that there were cracks were near the air bags. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,000.
Dash board cracked and was replaced once already and needs to be replaced again and dealers refused. The dashboard is almost completely gone and it starts with a crack in the middle near windshield and then the whole dash goes even around the heater and radio area. I firmly believe that this is dangerous since none of the instruments are working properly now. There is plastic falling off everytime you drive the car and hit the slightest bump in the road.
