What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Bd44 SRS air bag trim has become loose on the back of the steering wheel resulting in a sharp hard plastic being exposed resulting in the driver cutting his finger ( drawing blood) while driving on the highway. Significantly distracted the driver as he removed one hand from the wheel in response tom the cut. Apparently the glue for the trim is inadequate to keep it safely secured.
