“A crack has formed on the passenger side of the dash board near the air bag. This should not occur in a vehicle of this age. The vehicle has been to the dealer on numerous occasions without any mention or action to repair. I will be contacting them on monday about covering the repair. I believe that this is a manufacturing design issue and the dash should be replaced under warranty. In the month of june 2015, I had to have my master cylinder and brake booster replaced. …”

The dealer gave the contact a memo from the manufacturer to pump the brakes on the hybrids for a smoother stop.
