Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I ADVISED MY DEALER THAT CRACKS WERE DEVELOPING ON MY DASHBOARD. I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS OVER AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I SEE OTHER CONSUMERS WITH SAME MODEL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. I BEEN RETIRED LAST 3 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR LESS THAN 5 THOUSAND MILES, CAR IS KEPT IN GARAGE AND THE CRACK HAS NOW SPREAD TO DRIVER'S SIDE OF DASHBOARD! I HOPE A RECALL OCCURS FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY DEFECTS IN CAR!
