Rather than fussing about the split that appeared in my dashboard this past February, I prefer to issue an invitation to owners of 2003 Toyota 4Runners with split dashes to email your complaint and pictures to me at elizabethheller2007@gmail.com. If this is a defect common to a large number of these vehicles, I would like to call the matter to Toyota's attention and to give the corporation an opportunity to resolve the problem.

if you have this problem toyota will not repair, the plastic could cut you if the air bag goes off and water could go down crack and get into airbag system. Alot of people have this same problem toyota will not help you. We need to report this to the NHTSA. www.nhtsa.gov

Toyota has gone down in it standards over the years and need to fix this problem. don't take it, toyota rep Anika came and looked at my 4runner 03 15000 miles and garaged in the dark with no windows. In the garage for 6 or 7 years smells like new and said no fix it myself. They know about the problem that is why on the new tacoma it is all plastic.
