Top of front dashboard has delaminated and curled up to the windshield, preventing defroster air flow from operating. Problem became evident in Feb-Mar '04. Ford Motor Contends this is a customer satisfaction issue, and not a safety concern. Will not assist in $1400 cost to repair defect.

Consumer states that dashboard is buckling, causing windshield defroster vents to move out of alignment. Consumer cannot defrost front windshield when necessary. This results in poor or no visibility.
