    Air Bags · Unknown Or Other

    The dash on the vehicle has cracked at the passenger air bag cover. Also cracked above the speedometer. Concern is there may be humidity ingress to the airbag, the electronics or sub assemblies increasing the risk for an airbag deployment anomaly. Another concern is plastic or metal from the dash could also impact the airbag (deflation) or present injury to the occupants (flying parts). A lesser concern is the…

The accelerator was pressed to check to see if vehicle was in fact still running, which it was, but the steering wheel would not…
