Chronological view of owner reports
Dash Board of my vehicle has cracked around the area of my air bag. Worried that my air bag will not work properly if ever in an accident. No dash board should crack! Either the material's used when made were not as durable as they should be. Truck has been maintained in excellent condition since it was bought from dealership. No inspection, no safety lights on, no warning lights on. As being the original owner and seeing this worries me and my safety. NO DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER CRACK/SPLIT.
DASH IS CRACKED WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED AND IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT.
DASHBOARD CRACK ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG.
CRACKED DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AT IT BAG. STARTED AT 48000 MILES. IF IN A WRECK AND AIR BAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF DASH CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR. THINGS CAN GET DOWN IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND CAUSE A SHORT WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE. VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING IN A HEATED GARAGE AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
