Consumer Description

THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT YET. HOWEVER IF THIS VEHICLE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THE DASH PAD IN FRONT OF THE AIR BAG HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS BLOCKING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IF IT WERE TO DEPLOY. THIS DASH PAD IS STICKING UP 4 INCHES IN FRONT OF RIGHT DASH AIRBAG. THESE SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL AFFECTED UNITS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER BRANDS DASH PADS LIFT AROUND DEFROST HOLES, ESPECIALLY GM IN THE 90S, THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE SEEN WHERE IF THE PAD STARTS LIFTING IT WILL BLOCK THE AIRBAG. THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH PADDED DASHES ( ESSENTIALLY A POLY FOAM GLUED TO PLASTIC WITH A VINYL OVERLAY GLUED TO IT) WHEN THE FOAM STARTS TO DETERIORATE IT TURNS TO POWDER AND COMES LOOSE/LIFTS. *TR
