| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Entire dashboard has lifted up around the vent for the heater/air/defroster which runs the length of the front dashboard of the vehicle. problem is located directly under the front windshield. it does cause a safety issue for me for two reasons. it blocks part of my field of view out the front window. also the defroster does not vent properly to the window making it difficult to see out the window. i am also concerned about the safety of the airbags. thankfully i have not had to use them however, i am concerned because the dashboard has become unglued. it is obviously a manufacturing defect and i am concerned that the instability of the dash panel may make the airbag refuse to deploy or deploy improperly. |
