I know I've already complained about my dashboard before, but here I go...I have an 01 Eclipse, and the dashboard is all cracked up to heck now...I hear a lot of people are having this problem with the 3Gs. I'm gonna replace the dash, but I don't have any diagrams for it...does anyone have a link to dash removal for a 00-05 Eclipse. I bought one of those stupid haynes/chilton manuals, but it only has diagrams for the 2G dash. Also, if anyone has wrecked thier eclipse, and has a nice dash to sell, or know someone with one, lemme know.

Anyone know about any dash recalls for the 3G?

 

Im pretty sure there was never a recall on the dash board...see here http://www.autobuyguide.com/2001/12-...lls/index.html

 

That sucks...I've owned cars that are ancient compared to this one, and thier dashes are still on one piece.

 

Like I say every time this complaint comes up, almost ALL 3G eclipse get a cracked dash board I was lucky to have 2 of them with no cracks but most are not that lucky

 

There will never be a recall on a dashboard unless they start interfering with airbag operation. Even then it usually takes a few deaths and an act of congress to have a recall happen. And I doubt the dash will hit a TSB ever...

 

Hopefully I don't become a martyr for the 3G dashboard cause. Anyone know of a place that sells quality aftermarket dashes?

 

i got this problem too, you can usually prevent it by not doing any burnouts, supposedly the engine mounts are weak in the 3g and you get a lot of wheel hop and thats what cracks it

 

I wish the were the circumstances under which my dash cracked...I hadnt been overworkigy car or anything. I think what it boils down to is that Mitsu made a craptastic dash for 5 years and don't care to do anything about it. Maybe I'll try stiffening the chassis a bit to preven my new dash from doing the same thing.

 

This is my 2nd 3G and I have not had this prob with either one "knock on wood"

Good luck with that!

 

They dont appear to exist for the 3g there
