Dash cracked above instrument panel dash cracked at corner of passenger air bag
While in park in our driveway, engine turned off, and keys in my hand the suburban rolled backwards down our driveway, knocking me down and rolling over my leg where it then stopped in the middle of the street. 911 was called and I was transported from the scene to the hospital where I was admitted. We are highly concerned about this incident
Dashboard is all cracked around side airbag and may affect deployment. Dash is also cracked at on driver side. Cracks just appeared no accident, regular around town driving.
Dashboard has cracked around the air bag area. I am concerned that if in an accident, this could affect air bag performance or dashboard could come apart easier on impact and cause bodily harm.
