Consumer Description

DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED FROM EXPOSER TO SUNLIGHT. IN PAST YEAR IT HAS BROKEN INTO VERY SHARP PIECES ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF DRIVER. ONE CAN CUT HIMSELF AND I HAVE JUST TRYING TO DUST OR CLEAN INSIDE OF TRUCK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THESE SHARP PIECES OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD WOULD DO IN AN ACCIDENT AND IF AIR BAGS WOULD PUSH THESE SHARP PIECES INTO FACES OF BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN FRONT SEAT OF TRUCK. *TR
