What owners wrote
I was in a 4 car pile up and hit the car in front and was also rearended. Myhood wentup fromthe impact and my head hit the dash or steeringwheel. The doors were jammed shut and I had to be pried out by the fire dept.
I own a 2005 4runner sport 4.7l. I bought it brand new from gene reed toyota in charleston, sc. This is not my daily driver and stays in the garage most of the times. It only has 59k on it. This past weekend I was dusting it off getting ready for a sunday drive and noticed a crack starting at the gauges and following the curve on the dash all the way over to the top of the radio. I just drove it a week ago and that was not there. I have never used any chemicals on my dash, only a damp cloth.
