Default HELP-Climate Control Screen Cracking

Noticed little spider cracks in the lower left hand corner of the climate control screen a few days ago. Now, the cracks have spread another quarter inch or so and I can see more cracks forming in the lower right hand corner. I've had the car 6 weeks or so and am sure the cracks were not there initially. Has anyone else experienced this? What would cause this? Vibrations? Temperature changes? I am sure the dealer will have to pull and replace the whole unit to fix it - How big a job is this? Anyone think I will have a problem getting the dealer to fix under warranty?

Never heard of this problem before. I feel confident that you should be able to have it corrected under warranty without difficulty.

Haven't heard of that problem before, but should be covered under your warrantee.
