The dashboard that holds in the passenger airbag has come unglued from the frame on the dashboard. Also the side view mirrors are not very stable and have been shaking and the passenger side view mirror has just broke off from driving and turning onto other roads that have slight dip. The door handles have turned brittle and when we opened the door it just broke off.
