This results in blocked/impaired vision while on the roadway which could result in a crash. The leather dash has also bubbled over the passenger airbag which could affect the deployment of…

Air Bags
I noticed the leather dash bubbling a couple of months ago. Since then it's gotten much worse. After researching, it is the result of an incomplete process in the manufacturing from a vendor. The dash has bubbled so bad that the defrost vents asr distorted and no longer are effective. Also, it appars it could directly cause an ineffective deployment of the passenger airbag. Both are major safety hazards. After…
