AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CRACKED UPPER END OF DASH BOARD. THREE SEPARATE CRACKS APPEARED ON THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH, ONE IS GOING RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 89000 MILES ON IT WHEN I FIRST OBSERVED THE ISSUE. IT RATTLES LIKE CRAZY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS AND IT IS PROBABLY A MOJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.
