| Description of the problem | In my 2004 toyota sienna xle limited awd, the upper dashboard(by the windshield & front airbags is cracking. I am highly concerned that these cracks will interfere with proper deployment of the front airbags in an accident situation. Also the upper dashboard may break apart in an accident situation and become airborne causing further injury to vehicle passengers. I have contacted toyota and was told it was only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years despite the fact it can pose a safety issue. In researching the internet, i found other 2004-2007 toyota & lexus owners are having the same issue with the cracked dashboard. Here is a link to one such discussion: http://www. Automotiveforums.
