Complaint Summary

STRUCTURE

Owner Narrative

THE DASH HAS STARTED TO CRACK, AND THE LATEST ONE IS RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. MY CONCERN IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE EVENT OF A AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IF A BIG SHARD OF PLASTIC FROM THE DASH WERE TO FALL IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG DURING DEPLOYMENT. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE FRONT PASSENGER, OR MY YOUNG KIDS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT? I HAVE ALSO FOUND REPORTS OF OWNERS REPORTING WIRING PROBLEMS DUE TO PARTS OF THE DASH FALLING DOWN. *TR
