Consumer Description

I ENTERED MY CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (AFTER A FAIRLY COLD NIGHT). THE CAR WAS STATIONARY OVERNIGHT SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOOKED OVER TO MY LEFT AND ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, THERE WAS AN CRACK ABOUT 6-7 INCHES LONG ON TOP OF WHERE THE AIRBAG SITS. IN THE LIGHT, IT APPEARS THAT THE CRACK WILL SPREAD TO THE LEFT AND GROW SUBSTANTIALLY IN LENGTH/WIDTH. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME AN INHIBITOR TO MAKING THE PASSENGER FUNCTION PROPERLY.
