| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The top of the dashboard cracked about 18 inches. Our hyundai service rep said it was caused by the airbags under the dashboard expanding from the heat. Hyundai should replace the dashboard, obviously made of faulty material. Our rep said it would cost us $1,000. 00. I'm afraid that airbags will crack it completely in half and then the car would not be drivable. |
