I AM concerned of the safety of me and my passengers. Over 1 year and still no resolution. I keep on being told call back and call back. Why so long to replace? The dash board has cracked and broken due to poor quality and many owners have dashboard issues.

Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
