Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1999 vehicle, in a 6 year period, the dash warped and came unglued. this resulted in a very unattractive appearance, a non working defroster, and a dash that doesn't fit properly. i had to buy a $80.00 kit and physically remove the entire dash from the car to install a repair kit that ford no longer warrants to their customers. ford charges 2 hours labor at $85.00/hour, plus the $100.00 kit. it took me over 4 hours to do the install, and it still does not completely fix the dash. *nm
