My dash is cracking in two different places and 1 is close to the air bag and it concerns me if I get in car accident that my air bags deploy and afraid the whole dash will come off and it does not seem safe to me.
The passenger side dashboard has two long cracks around or within the airbag area. Based on some google search, this appears to be a common problem in the Sonata. I have the single owner of this vehicle. There was major accident, and no front collision of this vehicle. The cracks apparently are due to poor rubber quality. The cracks have been noticed for roughly a week, though the exact date of its first appearnce is uncertain.
My dashboard on passenger side of car started cracking last year. It is over the airbag so I now try not to put anyone in that seat or sit there myself. It started out as 1 crack and everyday there is more.
My car has always been kept in garage. About 2 years ago I advised my dealer that cracks were developing on my dashboard. I was concerned because it is over airbags. I was told I would be responsible for repairs. I see other consumers with same model having same problems. I been retired last 3 years and have driven my car less than 5 thousand miles, car is kept in garage and the crack has now spread to driver's side of dashboard! I hope a recall occurs for this problem before an accident happens. I should not be responsible for safety defects in car!.
Noticed on passenger side dashboard near the airbag that there was a long crack from windshield down entire front of dash area. Several weeks later noticed another crack just on the opposite of the dashboard in same area where airbag would be located on passenger side of vehicle. Took vehicle to Hyundai dealer to survey issue and inquire about safety issue. I advised them that I have a custom made sunshade which is used on vehicle daily for sun protection on the dashboard as well as entire vehicle.
The dashboard on the passenger side has two large cracks in it. It is very unsightly and should not have occurred. The cracks are becoming larger with time.
Dashboard is cracking and has been for a year and a half. My boyfriend's friend has the same car, same year and his is worse than mine. My concern is this is where airbag is located.
Lowering the driver side sun visor made a crackiling noise then the visor would not stay in a fixed position up or down. Currently, I taped it up to old it out of my field of vision for driving until I can get it to the dealer. I certainly hope this is covered unter the 5 yr bumper to bumper warranty.
Severely cracked dashboard.
In-dash oe cd changer made cracking sound when first cd was inserted and displayed mech error message on display. Never used before. Had ipod connection so never used the infinity disc changer till many months after purchase.
