| Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle in october 2015. Did not see a crack at time of purchase. Was wiping down the dash one day and noticed a small crack up the center of the steering column. That was mid january. Has now cracked from the middle above the steering column across the dash to the left side corner of the air bag compartment. Dash is unstable. Concerned it will cause airbag to go off prematurely. If in an accident and the airbag were to deploy could send pieces into passengers like shrapnel. |
