14 year old vehicle and it can happen to any brand . Just do a web search for dash covers because replacing the dash will be expensive. ---

Cracking was an issue on the 3rd gen TL, though it seemed to be confined to places with lots of sun and heat when cars were parked outside a lot. Live anywhere like Phoenix or Miami by chance? The only solution is a dash replacement. Sucks, I know. A cheaper though less attractive option would be a fitted dash mat, but you’d have to be careful - there are airbags under there that the dash mat would have to be designed to accommodate.
