Consumer Description

FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS WHICH APPEARED SUDDENLY RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE DASHBOARD FROM FRONT TO BACK. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS AND THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. THE CRACKS ARE PRIMARILY OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH BUT THERE ARE ALSO A FEW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, IT WOULD PROBABLY TURN THE DASH INTO A PLASTIC GRENADE SENDING SHRAPNEL AROUND THE CAB AND INTO THE OCCUPANTS. *TR
