The dashboard of my sienna 2004, craking all over (horizontal and vertical). following the same lines of the design. my minivan has not been in any accident. *tr -this can provoque the air bags inside the dash ican bee loose in any moment and cause an accident. -all the electric wire can be in danger because the dashboard is broken and now is not 1 piece so is not hold to the car 100%
Due to a failure in the moonroof system in the vehicle (rubber seal and two drains on either side), rain water seeped into the air bag system resulting in mold-build up and serious damange to the vehicle and possible malfunction of the air bags and breathing of dangerous mold/fungi. all the passengers in the vehicle got nauseous in 1-hour journey and the future consequence of such fungi build up and potential failure of the air-bag could be life threatening. *tr

In my 2004 toyota sienna xle limited awd, the upper dashboard(by the windshield & front airbags is cracking. i am highly concerned that these cracks will interfere with proper deployment of the front airbags in an accident situation. also the upper dashboard may break apart in an accident situation and become airborne causing further injury to vehicle passengers. i have contacted toyota and was told it was only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years despite the fact it can pose a safety issue. in researching the internet, i found other 2004-2007 toyota & lexus owners are having the same issue with the cracked dashboard. here is a link to one such discussion: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t959673-discuss2004_sienna_cracked_dashboard.html. *tr
Dashboard cracking has become signficantly worse in the last month and there is concern about integrity of dashboard components, including installed airbags which are in dashboard area.
