    I bought one of those dash rug things... $45 and with the FL sun it helps keeping it from cracking.

    im just afraid if they replaced that part of dash it may make stuff rattle from then on since u would have to take most the dash apart for it...it sucks! my 2008 never did this

    If it rattles, take it back and make them fix it under warranty also.

    The dash is just painted. Instead of replacing the whole thing (too extensive/expensive) the dealer will just attempt to touch-up the paint. The dash mat might be a good idea to keep it from happening again but don't secure it with tape or vecro or you'll end up with more damage. The one pictured is just tucked inbetween the windshield and dash.

    I thought there was a TSB for dashes that were flaking.

    Mine did this after like 2K miles. Mine was near the vent for the defrost. I immediately went to the dealer about it. They took pictures ordered the entire dash, and replaced it in one days time. No problems since. Absolutely no rattling or anything abnormal. Worth the time to get a new one.
