My passenger side air bag cover looks like is coming apart. I see a good gap between the cover and the dash-board. Inside the airbag cover, I can see a yellow plastic sheet kind of material. I am worried whether it will affect the performance of the airbag or whether if dust or something gets in, it will create problem on its functionality. I took it to the local Toyota dealer, the report says "tech states separation appears to be caused do to excessive heat. Air bags operating as designed. Does not appear to have been tampered with. Cost to replace....". they claim it is not an issue and if I want I can replace my entire dash-board to seal the gap on my expense. 1. it may look fine now what if tomorrow if the cover comes out fully that when I am driving in a highway. 2. anything can get-in in such a big gap. I have photos for evidence. And I have attached it. 3. excessive heat ( the max temperature on this month-June was around 95+) so they mean to say the dash-boards are not designed to withstand that outside temperature ?(probably it will be little more inside). So are they saying excessive summer heat can create a gap between dash-board and air bag cover for any car". air bag is such a critical safety part how can allow such gap between the cover and dash-board for the summer heat?. I am planning to take this to NHTSA to see a pattern. The explanation of excessive heat looks unrealistic. Safety is my first concern not only the person driving or passengers and to the other cars on the road too. If the air bag pops out when I am driving, it can definitely distract any driver. Or if dust gets in it can mal-function too. Whether Toyota is installing a car dash board which cant even withstand sun light temperature ? if that's the case, am I going to see the gap increasing by end of this summer " my incident # with Toyota is : 070625-000298 and my email is documented at their Toyota national headquarters under file #200706260111.

I purchased a 2003 Camry new, the vehicle has since been involved in two signifigant frontal collisions in which neither airbag deployed, the latter resulting in injury to myself and my wife. I am alarmed that this is the second occurence of airbag failure on this same vehicle and the degree of injury which could have resulted due to their failure. We are currently contacting the manufacturer to hopefully resolve this matter.
