What owners wrote
Passenger side dash has a vertical crack that extends for about 4" where the passager side airbag is. The car was not in any kind of accident or situation that would have casued this problem. I am concerned about the functionality of the airbag in the passenger side due to the cracked dash. My son cut his finger on the edges of the crack when he was investigating it as small children tend to do. I called the dealer I purchased the car from because I bought the extended warrenty from chrysler.
The dashboard is starting to crack in three separate locations all surrounding the passenger side airbag creases. It appears this would be a safety issue since it compromises the airbag component where my wife sits everyday to and from work. If the three cracks continue all the way around the airbag will the airbag spontaneously deploy? If I decide to seal the three cracks will this effect the way the airbag deploys (or possibly make it not deploy) to the vehicle passenger?
