The contact owns a 2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER. In the middle of 2006, the vehicle's dashboard began to crack. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer who advised her to glue the dashboard back together. The contact complied, but the dashboard is still cracking and the glue is beginning to separate. The vehicle was garage kept, therefore the sun was not a factor. The current mileage is 56,900 and failure mileage was 53,000. Updated 06/14/07.

Cracking dashboard.

I bought a 2001 Chrysler PT CRUISER in February 2007. When I bought it there was a crack in the dashboard, that became quite larger in just a few months, I am concerned about this because the crack/split was growing. Since I bought the vehicle used I figured it was my problem, but I knew of other people with the same problem. This was a defect in the vehicle that could cause problems with the vehicle. My husband and I bought a dashmat cover to help so the dashboard won't get as hot, but it still grew. What could I do about this?
