| Description of the problem | Dash pad, which also covers the passenger air bag is now cracked, and is sticky. I know that nissan settled with florida residents for this problem, however, other cars are affected. In southeast texas, we have just as much, if not more heat that seems to be causing failure of the dash cover. We are now afraid to drive the car, as since it is cracked and sticky, we do not know if we will be properly protected with the air bag should we have a problem. This is a serious safety issue, not just cosmetic, and all cars should be included, not just florida. Please review this issue, and get all of us covered. |
