Consumer Description

A SMALL CRACK STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACK ON MAY OF 2011. AS TIME PASSES BY THE CRACK HAS BEEN GROWING PAST THE TOP PART OF THE GAUGES TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE. NEW CRACKS HAVE ALSO APPEARED AROUND THE AIR VENTS, ABOVE THE RADIO AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. I HAVE TINTED WINDOWS AND ALWAYS USE A SUN VISOR WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE SWELLING OF THE HIGH DENSITY FOAM USED TO MANUFACTURE THE DASHBOARD. *TR
