Cracked Dashboard on Late-model Chevy Cavalier
For anyone with a late-model Chevy Cavalier with the front part of the
dash crack, there is a guy trying to put together a class-action suit with a lawyer to get Chevy to replace this defective part at no charge. So far, he has had 136 people sign up. If you are interested, the details are below. Slotman "For all late model Chevrolet Cavalier car owners who have had their front part of their dash crack. This part of the dash is known as the "Lower Trim Panel" and is over $750.00 to replace from the dealer. I have created a site http://www.xydon.com/apps/cavalier/ to record the number of people who have had this happen to them as well. I feel this is a manufacturer defect and Chevrolet to flip the bill for replacement. I have tried to negotiate with Chevrolet to replace my dash and the *******s told me "Go ahead and pay out of pocket for the repairs and then submit your receipt for possible consideration for reimbursement." This outraged me as I know this is a manufacturer defect. Join together and enter your information to this cavalier database. I will then after a few months of solicitation notify you of the status. I intend to obtain a lawyer and go toe to toe with Chevy for all of you. No money will be asked of you, just that you provide ligitimate information. Hopefully I can get Chevy to do a recall on this and get YOUR cracked dashes replaced, as well as mine." |

Gimme a break. Buy a cheaply-made piece of garbage like a Cadavalier and
then complain when it behaves like a cheaply-made piece of garbage? Only the lawyers win in ass-claction lawsuits like this. The classmembers each get a payout of $1.98.

NEWSFLASH: April 1, 2015 General Motors has announced a fix for their much publicized "cracked dash" syndrome that has haunted them on earlier model Cavaliers. A record payout of $500 million was announced today and GM's lawyers have announced that "although we have not admitted any guilt, we will fix any previously made cracked dashes". Although the terms have not been completely finalized, initial reports say the lawyers who filed the class action lawsuit will be be paid a one time payout of $499 million dollars. People who previously owned a Chevy Cavalier with a cracked dash (and can PROVE now that they have had a cracked dashed) will be mailed a roll of duct tape and a can of color-matching paint. Both GM's lawyers and the class action lawsuit lawyers are happy that this whole UNFORTUNATE (for the consumers) incident is behind them. According to GM, anyone still owning one of these earlier cracked-dash Cavaliers can bring it to GM and have the duct tape installed and painted for only $850. Case closed. |

The web page doesn't make it easy to find, but there IS a picture there of a cracked dash. Whoever is promoting this lawsuit needs to get a life. It's got one vertical crack in it. It's unfortunate that it cracked and GM should provide a colored flexible strip with sticky tape on the back to put over it. I've seen lots of dashes with far worse cracking and problems than this. -- New service to compete with paypal Get $25 pre-registration bonus by following this link www.greenzap.com/25smackers4u |

And that award won't even buy a bottle of Armor-All, will it? (Which I bet
is what caused the cracks in the 1st place!) "Daniel J. Stern" > wrote in message n.umich.edu... > Gimme a break.

"James C. Reeves" > wrote in message ... > And that award won't even buy a bottle of Armor-All, will it? (Which I bet > is what caused the cracks in the 1st place!) > Why would Armor All do that? Anybody wants to see what a car looks like without ever having used Armor All? It's for damn sure not "just like new". I'm friggin' tired of the Armor All mythsinformation floating around. From the talk of some idiots, you would think Saddam Hussein had a plant in Iraq churning out the stuff for Osama bin Laden. |

I'm with you on this one, Magnulus. Lots of people claim this, but I have never personally had a problem with Armor All. I have used it on rare occasion, but not regularly. |

I have used it on rare occasion, but not > regularly. I use it about once a month in the summer, and I've never noticed any problems, though the cars weren't that old. I've got a 3 year old Logitech Momo PC racing wheel that likewise gets some Armor All once in a while, and it looks as good as new. I had to fix a broken shifer using some epoxy- but Armor All didn't cause that. My mom was all in a huff because a Ford "mechanic" told her that Armor All sits on top of the dashbboard, heats up and "bakes" the plastic. I find that hard to believe that Armor All would make vinyl hotter than it otherwise would be, and since this guy does not have a degree in chemistry, I take it with a big grain of salt. Alot of folks also go nuts because Armor All contains silicone- but if that's the case they should never use a car wax again, because almost all car waxes have some kind of silicone-based sealers. You've never heard folks say "Don't use Turtle Wax because it bakes the paint", have you? Case closed. |
