NHTSA Complaint #10475965 — 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA

THIS CONCERNS ME AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DASH ON MY SIENNA 2004 HAS CRACKS EVERYWHERE. IN SUMMER 2008 IS WHEN I SAW THE FIRST CRACK. FOUR YEARS LATER THEY ARE ALL OVER THE FRONT DASH, IN THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL AS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE SEEN THROUGH THE WEB THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SO I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. IT CONCERNS ME THAT THIS CRACKS CAN POTENTIALLY PREVENT AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING PROPERLY OR PREMATURELY AND CAUSE INJURE. I DID ASK TOYOTA FOR A QUOTE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND IT WAS TOO COSTLY $2000.+. I DO LIKE MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT AS LONG AS I CAN BUT BESIDES THE DASH LOOKING AWFUL IT MAKE ME NERVOUS THAT THIS MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HOPE TOYOTA FINDS A WAY TO FIX THIS. THANKS *TR
