What owners wrote
While taking groceries out of the vehicle the trunk lid fell and hit consumer on head. This incident caused pain,swelling and scabs on the consumers forehead and nose. *nlm
At a little over 40,000 miles, I notice a hump in the dash cover in front of the steering wheel. The separation and lifting has now stretched to near center dash. If it continues, I'm afraid it may possibly effect air bag operation or passenger safety.
