After a short time of buying my wife's gx470, a small crack appeared in the dash on the passenger side airbag location. At the time we didn't think much about it as my wife stated it was more like a line in the dash. Through the years of ownership theses cracks have grown, and now the entire dash is cracked all the way across. We have taken our vehicle to the dealership after it was out of factory warranty and they state that now there is nothing they can do.
