| Description of the problem | Our dash has been cracking for a while now. Now big chunks have begun to break off. Just hitting a bump in the road will break it off. I am concerned that the air bag will go off and the rest of the dash will explode and cause injuries from flying plastic shards. We take very good car of our truck. This should not be happening. *tt |
