taz that is a typical customer services answer, not worth the keyboard time

Sorry if I sound like 'Customer Services' but as far as I know (someone will surely prove me wrong) you could well be the first reported event on this forum. My three have always had the faint imprint in the dash material indicating where the airbag is, but never experienced a split. |

As above. I recall back in the 80's, Ford had a major problem with the Escort Mk III dashboard cracking. It was found to be attributed in part to solvent-based cleaning materials doing exactly what has been mentioned - drying out the plasticisers and reacting with UV (read:sunlight). Foraging near Gaydon....

A mates girlfriend put a rip in the dash there with her high heel once, they can be a bit fragile and the sun UV affects them after a while too, Ive seen the steering wheel centre pad airbag cover doing the same before, splitting, not hight heel marks that is.

Well, my LR garage has tried its best. Communications with LR received a predictable 'non' when a warranty repair / replacement was requested. "Age" (57 -plate and 61k miles) meant that warranty claim was not even considered. So, does that mean that I shouldn't go ahead and renew my Extended Warranty (at the coast of �795.00) before it expires on the 7th?. Will 'age' mean that any other 'flaw' / fault is automatically invalidated on the grounds of 'age'? Rapidly losing my confidence with LR's facility for considering some aspects under their "best" warranty. I guess, as the model is no longer in production�. Have had so many LRs in the past, guess it's time to change brand - if I can with a tear in the dashboard�and a delaminating screen which they also refused to consider in 2011 @ 38k miles. Hey ho. |
