| Description of the problem | Glove box facing has detached from the lower side. It hangs further out than the glove box and could be a danger to the passenger in the event of an accident or even a hard stop. It started coming apart 3 years ago. From my research on the internet it is a known problem with this model car. It came apart over time from heat and sub-standard glue. |
