| Structure | 928.1%ODI 10183169I HAVE A 2001 DODGE STRATUS R/T AND THE WHOLE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE AIRBAG POD. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF REVIEWS IN WWW.2GSTRATUS.ORG OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING ON OTHER MEMBERS DASHES. ALONG WITH SOME OTHER CLUBS SUCH AS MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE. MITSUBISHI DESIGNED THE CAR. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE DASHES CONTINUE TO CRACK AND THEN SAG THAT THE AIRBAG WILL ALSO DROP FROM THE DASH YANKING THE WIRES AND SETTING OFF THE SENSOR CAUSING THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY AND POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATH MAY BE OBTAINED. *NM Look up ODI 10183169 at NHTSA ↗ | 430.8%ODI 10018881 · 100 mi2002 STRATUS MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING VEHICLE AND GOING ACROSS ROAD BUMPS AT SAME TIME.
