DASH COVERING AIRBAG'S DETERIORATING, SEATBELT DOESN'T REWIND, SEAT BACK DOESN'T LATCH INTO A SECURE POSITION. I WONDER IF THE DASH WILL EXPLODE ON IMPACT AND WILL THE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSE FURTHER INJURY. DURING A SUDDEN BRAKING EVENT WILL THE SEAT BACK THROW EVERYBODY IN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DASH IF THE SEATBELTS FAIL? NO INJURIES YET. CAN'T AFFORD ALL THE REPAIRS. *TR
