Consumer Description

THERE WERE TWO HAIRLINE CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO. OVER THE WINTER MONTHS THE CRACKS SEEMED TO SPREAD. I'M AFRAID THAT THE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD CAUSE INJURY IF THE AIRBAG EVER DETONATED AS THE AIRBAG WOULD LIKELY MALFUNCTION. I'VE NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2005 ACURA TLS AND FIND IT ANNOYING THAT ACURA WON'T CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN A CAR... IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL WORK PROPERLY IN A TIME OF NEED? *TR
