THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS CRACKED HAS APPEARED TO CAUSE THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE DASH TO SAG. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, THE CONDITION OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURY. THIS EXACT PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS MODEL.
