The entire dashboard from driver's side to passenger side as well as from the front where it meets the windshield to where it wraps over and connects to entire panel facing the front seats is warping and pulling away from everything it is suppose to help hold into place. It is now rising above the passenger air bag compartment. If this air bag deploys it will definitely either throw the entire dashboard or massive pieces of it directly toward the passenger and driver (since the warping has dislodged it from everything) or it will deploy and the warped dashboard could cause the air bag to be thrown up toward the windshield, sun visor support & new tether strap which could cause even more issues. The warping has also started to affect every cover it connects to on the dash, pulling & pushing them loose. These items can now also be thrown throughout the vehicle in a crash. I have only owned my vehicle 6 months, the summer heat has not even arrived. At the rate it is warping, I have no doubt it will probably be a minimum of 2 inches above air bag compartment within the next 3 months. Please help us stay safe and recall these dashboards before someone gets seriously injured. Accidents are bad enough, we need to prevent additional injuries and problems that these defective dashboards are obviously going to cause.

While investigating a minor two vehicle traffic crash involving the above mentioned vehicle, I noticed that both front air bags had deployed. The driver had sustained swelling and abrasions to his hands and forearms from the airbags, and the front seat passenger complained of soreness in the shoulders. No medical treatment was called for. Upon examining the damage to the vehicle that they were riding in, I saw that the only damage from the crash was to the right front corner. A vehicle that was traveling to the right of them and slightly ahead of them attempted to make a left hand turn. The left side of that vehicle (chevy trailblazer) struck the right front fender of the Dodge Stratus, as it turned (sideswiped). The damage to the Stratus did not seen severe enough to warrant an air bag deployment, and there was no direct frontal impact between the two vehicles. Pictures are available.

Trunk door design has a defect that will cause the trunk door to slam down with excessive and unimpeded force without warning and will do so on its own, even in calm winds. Multiple incident have occurred where the trunk door has slammed down while the driver or the passenger was reaching into the trunk to retrieve articles from the trunk. Currently the only way to safely use the trunk is to have a second person hold the trunk door while the first person places or retrieves articles from the trunk. Injuries that have occurred were momentary back pain and on one occasion a concussion (when the trunk door hit the vehicle owner in the head). None of the injuries required medical treatment. Problem gets worse when vehicle is parked on an incline (particularly if the rear of the vehicle is facing downhill), even if the incline is slight.
