Consumer Description
NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD SECTION AIR BAG (CONSOLE) ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS STARTED "CRACKING". WHEN FIRST NOTICED IT WAS APPROXIMATE ONE INCH IN LENGTH, & IS PROGRESSING CURRENTLY APPROXIMATE 2" INCHES IN LENGTH. CALL TOYOTA TO INFORM AND SUGGESTED I TAKE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I SERVICE MY VEHICLE. UPON DOING SO THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS OK AND WOULDN'T DIMINISH THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS GOING OFF. I STILL FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CONSOLE PROCEEDING TO CRACK, AND BELIEVE ONCE SUMMER HEAT CONTINUES TO HIT DASHBOARD IT WILL PROGRESS TO CRACK FURTHER. WIFE ( PASSENGER) IS QUITE CONCERNED SINCE SHE NOTICES THE CRACK GETTING LONGER. WE GARAGE OUR CAR, BUT IF CAR WAS PARKED OUT IN SUN IT COULD POSSIBLY GET WORSE. *TR
