| Description of the problem | The dash pad has suddenly developed a large crack across the top. I'm concerned that should my airbag deploy, this piece will shatter and cause the airbag to deflate prematurely, or cause injury from plastic shards. This occured while the vehicle was stationary, and unoccupied. |
