I JUST NOTICED THE 2001 PT CRUISER DASHBOARD HAD CRACKS. IT WAS GARAGE KEPT AND ALWAYS HAD SUN SHADES ON. ONLY HAD 50000 MILES. I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER STEPPED UP AND ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. THEY DID ON THE TRUCKS, SO WHY NOT ON THE CRUISERS. *AK

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2001 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER IS CRACKING IN MANY PLACES THROUGH THE MIDDLE SECTION. I'M AFRAID IT MAY COLLAPSE AS OTHERS HAVE. THE CRACKS ALSO RUN THROUGH THE TOP AIR VENT. I'VE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND MANY OTHER CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WHICH SOME HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS. HAS CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND IS THERE A RECALL POSSIBILITY? THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED THAT HAS DONE THIS. *TR
