| Description of the problem | I have taken my cloth cover off dashboard 1 time a month to clean it since i bought this vechile and there have been no problems. Today i take if off and crack and breakage. I feel there is a safety issue here if an accident should happen pieces of the dashboard will fly throughout the vechile and the cracks are almost to the passenger side airbag. How will this affect the air bag will it work or will it not its not a risk i would like for anyone to have. *nm |
