• THE DASH HAS CRACKED AND WAS TOLD BY MY COUNTY OFFICER THAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. ALSO I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN MY SUV DUE TO IT TAKING 27 MINUTES BECAUSE IT CLICKS OFF.
• THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSED THE FIRST CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE CENTER. THEN THE OTHER TWO HAPPENED JUST WITH NO OTHER PRESSURE OR DRIVING HAZARDS.
