I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A DEFECT WITH THE DASHBOARD. IT HAS TWO CRACKS THAT MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CRACKS. I HAVE NOT INCLUDED A PHOTO AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS ON RECORD.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
