Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS MY DASHBOARD IN MY TRUCK HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS NOW IN PIECES. I AM WORRIED THAT OTHER PROBLEMS WILL START OCCURRING BECAUSE OF THE FRAGMENTING OF MY DASH AND FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE DASH. THE SCREWS ALONG THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD ARE NOW ONLY HOLDING ON LITTLE PIECES OF DASH AND ARE NO LONGER SERVING IN PURPOSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYING OR NOT DEPLOYING AT ALL. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN AS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS. I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OTHER THING THAT GO ON INSIDE THE DASH THAT COULD CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS IF THEY FAIL. *TR
