| Description of the problem | I have a crack in the dash 1 foot long above the passenger airbag only 15000 miles on truck. Alot of other post are on the internet with same crack or more. It has always been garaged. I am worried that something will spill and short the airbag. For a truck drove so little and always in the dark this should not happen. Toyota place 9670 trask av garden grove ca asked toyota to replace it they said it was a defect. Anika from toyota came to look at a showroom condition truck and said no it is out of warranty. I would have to pay to replace it if i am worried about it. It would be $1000. 00. I do not have the money at this time. They do not care. Called toyota on same day they said anika said no so that is as good as in stone nothing more to talk about. This is the new toyota money over safety. |
