Cracks in the vinyl dashboard have started on both the passenger and drivers side of the car and are continuing to get bigger. I am concerned that the dashboard cracks along the front of the dash could potentially cause the airbags from deploying or cause them to deploy unnecessarily.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota camry solara.

The driver sustained minor bruises and lacerations on both hands. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure and current mileage was 84,000.
We have a 2004 toyota solara. Recently we have noticed several cracks/fractures in the dash board, primarily on the passenger side of the vehicle. Research has shown that this is a common problem with this model year. Toyota maintains the situation is cosmetic and not covered under warranty or recall. Our concern is this is a possible safety issue, as the passenger side airbag is deployed through the dashboard. If the dashboard is weakened by this cracking. Would this increase the possibility the airbag deploying incorrectly, thus raising the possibility of injury or death? We have a disabled daughter that frequently sits in the passenger side of the vehicle and we want to make sure the situation is safe for her.
I was driving on the freeway when, while changing lanes to the slow lane, the accelerator pedal stuck, I lost control, and the car careened off the freeway and down and embankment. The car was severely damaged but I was not injured.
I purchased a 2004 toyota solara se new in 2004. The airbag warning light on the dash has come on and off since the car was new. It now is on most of the time. As I understand it when it is on it disables the airbag system which is dangerous. The "buckle safety switch" among other things may be the problem. Toyota has had problems in these areas with other models and made recalls. The same defects may be in other models and they have not yet recalled or repaired the cars. They should fix their defects for free fast prior to someone getting killed. My VIN # is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
