| Description of the problem | The leather dashboard of my 2004 toyota sienna has developed large horizontal cracks from one side of the vehicle to the other. There are also vertical cracks from the top to the bottom of the dashboard. My concern is that these cracks will allow large pieces of the dashboard to become projectiles in the event of an accident, which will cause the front airbags to deploy. I do not know why these cracks developed, since the vehicle was well maintained. This is a potential safety hazard that should be repaired or replaced at toyota's expense, since the cracking of the dashboard appears to be a recurring problems with this model. |
