What owners wrote
My vehicle was struck while standing still waiting for a traffic signal to turn green. The other vehicle which struck my vehicle was traveling possibly 20 - 25 miles per hour. Damage almost totaled my car. My wife was driving, alone in the vehicle and was injured but did not report it at the time. She was injured because the air bag did not deploy. She was wearing a seat belt which operated correctly.
The dash board has a cut out for the passenger side air bag on top and is somewhat perforated and thinner in that area. Due to a design defect, the dash cracks over that area. These have been replaced for some and not others. It appears that it is up to the local people. I brought my questions about this design to the dealer before the warranty expired, it then cracked and now they will not do anything to replace it. I hear the replaced ones crack too. I have heard that they can interfer with the air bag.
