Description of the problem | I noticed the leather dash bubbling a couple of months ago. Since then it's gotten much worse. After researching, it is the result of an incomplete process in the manufacturing from a vendor. The dash has bubbled so bad that the defrost vents asr distorted and no longer are effective. Also, it appars it could directly cause an ineffective deployment of the passenger airbag. Both are major safety hazards. After talking with both fca and a local dealership i was told there was nothing they could do. This is an issue that fca has known about for years with many complaints but refuses to correct the defect. |
