Consumer Description

DASH PAD IN VEHICLE HAS COME APART, COMPLETELY BLOCKING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE DASH PAD IS STICKING UP AT LEAST 3 INCHES IN FRONT OF AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY EVER IT WILL NOT PROPERLY AND COULD CAUSE MORE HARM TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO THESE VEHICLES. I THINK ALL AFFECTED CARS SHOULD BE FIXED, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON PRETTY NEW CARS.
