TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE TO "SERVICE AIRBAG" ILLUMINATES WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OR NOT. REPLACING THE BATTERY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING CORRECTLY OR NOT.

I RECENTLY NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD AND BELIEVED IT WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. REQUESTED A COMPANY TO REPAIR CRACK, BUT REPRESENTATIVE UNABLE TO REPAIR CRACK DUE TO LOCATION BEING ABOVE THE AIRBAG. UPON FUTURE INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER CAMARO OWNERS HAVE SAME HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE EXACT LOCATION ON THEIR DASHBOARDS. FOR THE CRACK TO OCCUR IN THE SAME LOCATION ON DIFFERENT VEHICLES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT BECOMING COMPROMISED.
