MY DASHBOARD HAS A TEAR OVER THE AIRBAG ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON FRANKLIN ST. IN HEMPSTEAD BEFORE THE COVID 19 VIRUS SHUT DOWN. I WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE THE DASHBOARD COVER. I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THIS HAPPENED THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE VEHICLE IS IN MINT CONDITION AND RUNS LIKE NEW BECAUSE I TAKE CARE OF MY CARS. PLEASE HELP *TR

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION WHILE TURNING, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. IE, ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A CROSS STREET.
