Consumer Description

THE DASH COVER OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS CRACKING A LOT IN ALL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE RX-8'S AND THAT THE FACTORY WON'T COVER FIXING IT. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DASH CRACKING APART RIGHT ABOVE THE AIR BAG. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SOME MINOR CRACKS EITHER. I FIRST NOTICED THE CRACKS IN THE DASH ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND NOW THEY GROWN AND EXPANDED SUBSTANTIALLY SINCE THEN. IT JUST REALLY LOOKS LIKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH IT OCCURRING RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE FROM NHTSA WOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THANK YOU *TR
