| Splitting dashboard i noticed that is was a slight slit in the dashboard throughout the summer it started getting bigger, as time went on it has gotten almost half foot long. i paid to have it repaired it cracked again in the same spot, i tried to repair it myself and it didn't look too good so i took it in to have it repaired again and they told me that they were afraid to fix because it was near my airbag and did not won't to be responsible for any damages of the airbag so i left it alone. i am afraid that it may affect the function of my airbag. i would like to have the dashboard replaced but the dealership quoted me over $2000 to have this done and it is not in my budget. *tr | |||
