Consumer Description

DASHBOARD HAS STARTED CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. NOW IT HAS SPREAD ALL ACROSS THE DASH TO THE DRIVER SIDE. I'M WORRIED THE AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY. THIS TRUCK IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN HOME AND UNDER COVERED PARKING AT WORK. I ALSO HAVE A 2003 TUNDRA WITH MORE MILES AND DASHBOARD IS FINE. THE TUNDRA IS NOT PARKED COVERED. MY MOTHER HAS A 1997 TOYOTA COROLLA. PARKED IN THE SUN ALL DAY IN TEXAS. DASHBOARD IS FINE. THIS HAS TO BE A TOYOTA QUALITY ISSUE ON 2003 AND 2004 4-RUNNERS. ONLINE THESE ARE THE YEAR MODELS THAT SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
