The dash area above the glove box on the front passenger side has developed a clean slit now in excess of 6" long expanding toward the windshield. It appears to be part of the breakaway portion of the dash in the event of an airbag deployment. I am concerned that, in addition to the unsightly appearance of the dash, that it may interfere with or trigger an airbag deployment, and may therefore be a safety hazard. We have had a total of 4 300m's and three of the four have had this problem. The first two (1999 and 2001) were repaired under the 3-year warranty, but the 2003 is out of the warranty period.

The vehicle has a split in dashboard around the passenger airbag. The dashboard has been replaced in 2002 for the same reason. The dealer replaced it free of charge the first time. This replacement was as result of a conversation the vehicle owner had with the manufacturer in detroit. The manufacturer or dealer will not replace it this time. The owner feels this could result in a premature deployment of the airbag. The split appeared six weeks ago, and continued to grow.

The dash cover along the left side of the passenger air bag on my Chrysler 300m has cracked. This crack has grown until it matches the entire length of the air bag compartment.

Dashboard padding began to split as a small 2 inch area on the right side of the air bag on the passenger's side compartment/cover area. Over the course of the last 2 years dashboard padding finished splitting on right side and all of left side spontaneously. Is now split on both right and left sides of the airbag compartment leaving only bottom side of padding left holding airbag in dash. Clearly visable that dashboard padding spliced too deep around airbag compartment when manufactored. Asked dealer-jack wolf to look at, told it would not be able to be replaced by manufactorer for free, unless risk of harm. How could it not be a risk of air bag deploying inadvertently? consumer concerned that it will cause a problem with air bag deploying improperly or inadvertently.

The dashboard had developed a cut or tear, where the passenger side air bag is installed. This could result in premature deployment of the passenger side air bag. The dealership indicated that the tear is a cosmetic issue and it is not covered under warranty. The tear cannot be repaired because it's a safety hazard, so the entire dashboard needs to be replaced. Consumer heard from other service dealers that the tear was due to the thinning of the dashboard to make the deployment of the air bag easier.

The vehicle's dashboard separated from the airbag. The dealer was notified. . . . .

Soon after warranty on my 1999 300m expired a crack developed on driver side of vehicle. I complained to the dealer and nothing was done. No repair shop would attempt to fix it because they would not want to be responsible for airbag. Months later a split developed on passenger side near airbag. I am very concerned that the airbag may or may not deploy. I now have a 12 inch split on driver side and a 8 inch split over the passenger airbag. It is unsightly and unsafe and effects the resale of the vehicle.

Dash on my 1999 Chrysler 300m has a crack on the passenger side where the airbag is located. We bought the car new and have kept it in our garage. The crack is not new it has been there for years. My uncle had the exact same crack in his 1999 300m as well. I've learned via the internet that this is a very common problem. I feel it could be a safety hazard since it exists right over the air bag.

I have a 1999 Chrysler 300m. On the passenger side of the dash board, a crack exists on the whole left line of the airbag. Now, another crack is forming on the right side of the airbag line. I know of another 300m that has the same problem. I am complaining because Chrysler refuses to fix this obvious defect because my car is past the factory warranty (53,000 miles). Even that being the case, I feel Chrysler should be responsible for fixing this problem. I am concerned if this could affect the way the airbag will perform, or cause it to deploy when it is not intended to. I would appreciate your help and inquiries on this subject.

The vinyl on the dashboard over the passenger-side airbag has spontaniously cracked open all along the crease that was designed to break when the airbag deploys. I wonder if this affects the force of airbag deployment.
