Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE WHERE MANY OWNERS OF TOYOTA 4RUNNERS IN THE 2003-2004 YEAR RANGE ARE HAVING A CRACKED DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. IN AN ACCIDENT, THE PLASTIC COULD CUT YOU IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF AND WATER COULD GO DOWN CRACK AND GET INTO AIRBAG SYSTEM. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT IN THE DASH. THIS IS TOO COMMON TO NOT BE A TOYOTA DEFECT. THIS SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT. *TR
