Lines on Dash - Passenger Side - Airbag?
Do any of you have these faint lines on the dash? I'm wondering if that is where the airbag deploys or is it a manufacturing issue.... They kind of form a large hexgaon/polygon.....

No defect -- the cris-cross "XXXXX" pattern on the underside weakens the plastic so the airbag can deploy -- more visible under different light conditions.

Yes, the cross should be there. No, you should not be able to see it. This is a defect, and one that the OEM would be complaining to their supplier of the instrument panel (dash) about.
I have an area of white powder, about 1/4" diameter, that keeps appearing on the passenger side dash. It is referred to as "blooming" in the polymer world. Does anyone else have this issue?

My car, when brand new had no sign of any dashboard cuts at all, now I can see them on passenger side and little bit on the steering wheel. I would speculate summer heat made plastic softer and sink a little where cuts are made. I don't think I will be trying to replace it under warranty either, as it doesn't bother me at all, but I agree it shouldn't be so visible.
