Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING WE HEARD A LOUD POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY LARGE ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. WHILE INSPECTING THE WINDSHIELD WE NOTICED THAT THE NOISE HAD COME FROM THE DASHBOARD SPLITTING. THE AREA COVERING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS SPLIT AND THE ENTIRE DASH, WITHING JUST A FEW DAYS, HAS SPLIT FROM THE INITIAL 4 INCH SPLIT TO ABOUT 8 INCHES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AS THE DECREASED RESISTANCE COULD MEAN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPEED IS GREATER. (WORTH NOTING: WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT ITS ENTIRE LIFE. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE SUN I ALWAYS USE A SUNSHIELD.) *TR
