| Description of the problem | The dashboard is cracked on the drivers side above the instrument panel about 6-8 inches long. It is also has 3 other cracks on the passenger side airbag on the dashboard, the cracks are in the top two corners. These cracks just started appearing and around the date mentioned above is when we noticed the cracks. I know this is an ongoing issue with many of these vehicles and it is a safety concern when it is on the airbag. If there is a wreck, who is to say pieces wont be flung up into my family and hurt or possible kill them. |
