Consumer Description

THE DASH IS COMPLETELY FRACTURED AND BROKEN INTO SHARDS OF SHARP HARD PLASTIC THAT SHOULD THE TAKATA AIRBAG EVER DEPLOY WILL BE PROPELLED LIKE SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT EXPLOSIVE SPEEDS. IT'S LIKE DRIVING A CAR WITH BROKEN CLASS COVERING THE DASHBOARD. THIS ISSUE, THE DASH FRACTURING AND SPLITTING INTO PIECES AS A RESULT OF SUN EXPOSURE AND AGE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON ALMOST ALL OF THE ONLINE FORUMS I WENT TO TO DISCOVER IF THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH AN OBVIOUS AND COMMON HAZARD EXPERIENCED BY SO MANY, IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST.
