Dashboard Crack Problems of Toyota Sienna - part 2

The dash start cracking up for no apparent reason and the car is mostly park inside a garage day and night. I have called dealers and nothing has been done so far and I have been told that's a manufacturer defect and it should be corrected by dealer. The transmission some times does not change the gears and others stop to work and I could cause a rear end collision.

This concerns me as a safety issue. The dash on my Sienna 2004 has cracks everywhere. In summer 2008 is when I saw the first crack. Four years later they are all over the front dash, in the driver side as well as in the passenger side. I have seen through the web that this is a common problem for this same make and model, so I decided to file this complaint. It concerns me that this cracks can potentially prevent airbags from deploying properly or prematurely and cause injure. I did ask Toyota for a quote to fix this problem since my warranty expired and it was too costly $2000. +. I do like my car and would like to keep it as long as I can but besides the dash looking awful it make me nervous that this might cause an accident. Hope Toyota finds a way to fix this. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked and the contact was concerned that the failure could result in the air bag deploying prematurely. The dealer did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The manufacturer confirmed what the dealer advised the contact and offered no further assistance. No repairs were performed. The current mileage was 125,927 and the approximate failure mileage was 45,000. Updated 12/01/11 updated 12/12/11.

Toyota verbalizes there was a substance left out of the dashboard mixture during production of the vehicle. It, according to them, is an issue with two models and two years of those models. The dash board begin to crack about 28,000 miles. The van only has 38,000 now. It has cracked from side to side across the top, down the front and around the sides (like an egg shell). The right side air bag is housed in the dash. Pieces of the right dash are actually going to fall out now. Toyota, again, admits the problem, but refuses to help. I last spoke to them on 5. 2. 2014 (roy g. ). I have been speaking to them about this safety issue since 2008, even with the regional manager, as the local Toyota asked them to replace it. Toyota declined. This is an issue that can cause the airbag to deploy without an accident or wrongfully so in an accident. The entire dash will blow out, the physical damage to a person unknown. I need help with this issue. This is a 60,000 Sienna that has handicap lift in it. This is a huge safety concern for me.

I am the original owner of a 2004 Toyota Sienna. The dashboard is full of hairline cracks. They started on the sides near the a/c vents, traveling towards the center of the dash. First appeared in 2007. Now the dashboard is covered with cracks. Took it to the dealer and complained that it was a defect. Service dept didn't seem to want to deal with it. Finally they took pictures then said they would have to send the pictures off and they would get back to me, which they never did. Called the service dept and they dismissed me saying it was not covered. I don't think they ever sent the pictures in. The cracks get worse every week - longer, and new ones appear. This is clearly a defect. There were no events that took place to cause this, no crash, no fire. The automobile is well maintained. This is a manufacturer's defect.

Dashboard defect interference with airbag deployment - due to manufacturer defect the dashboard has many long cracks that extend from the a/c vents and glove box across sections of the dash, including around the airbag. I am fearful that in the event of a crash the airbag would not deploy as designed, due to the defective dashboard. As of yet there has been no recall or manufacturer amends to this problem. It is a serious safety concern to me due to interference with the proper functioning of the airbag.

Dashboard cracked on the right side. Dealership arranged repair at my expense. Six months later another crack of a 18" in length appeared in front of the passenger side above the glove box. Old crack is also visible again.
