Dashboard defect interference with airbag deployment - due to manufacturer defect the dashboard has many long cracks that extend from the A/C vents and glove box across sections of the dash, including around the airbag. I am fearful that in the event of a crash the airbag would not deploy as designed, due to the defective dashboard. As of yet there has been no recall or manufacturer amends to this problem. It is a serious safety concern to me due to interference with the proper functioning of the airbag.

I had slowed my car to allow a group to pass and was making a left hand turn into a parking spot. My car lurched forward and sped forward nearly striking a group of teenagers. I plowed through three cement pillars and a flower pot and finally came to rest. My engine was revving and my foot was on the brake. *tr updated 12/02/09 *bf updated 12/03/09 the consumer also stated the air bags did not deploy. Updated 12/03/09
