Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY SONATA. A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH FOLLOWING THE OUTLINE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND DASH I HAVE HAD TO PUT ON THE CAR FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. TO ME THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH DASHES CRACKING AROUND MY AIRBAG. DEPLOYMENT OF THIS AIRBAG MAY BE FOREVER COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE THE EXACT SAME WAY SEEMS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE. ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE, THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE ME EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET FOR SONATA DASHBOARD CRACK WILL BRING UP MANY POSTS FROM SONATA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES SUCH AS ME. I DON'T WANT TO TRUST MY YOUNG SON AND WIFE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN THAT COULD SHORTEN THEIR LIVES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR
