Consumer Description
I KNOW THAT THIS IS AN OLDER VEHICLE AND THE DASH HAS BEEN COMING APART FOR YEARS. EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE DOORS OR HIT A BUMP, PIECES OF PLASTIC FALL OUT. NOW THE WHOLE DASH IS LOOSE AND RATTLES. I LOOKED AT IT AND CAN SEE WHERE THE PLASTIC AROUND ALL THE DASH MOUNTS IS COMING APART AND MAKING IT EXPONENTIALLY WORSE. LIKE I SAID, I KNOW ITS AN OLDER VEHICLE BUT IT HAS BEEN COMING APART FOR YEARS. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL AS WELL. MY FEAR AT THIS POINT IS THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE ENTIRE DASH ASSEMBLY MAY SHIFT OR BREAK FREE CAUSING TO AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR IN THE WRONG LOCATION OR EVEN PROJECT BIT OF THE PLASTIC DASH INTO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WHEN THEY DEPLOY.
