We've now heard a nasty "crack" sound 3 different times, coming from behind the dash, at the base of the windshield.
Each occurance was while accelerating or decelerating (I guess "loaded" drivetrain?), going over a large expansion crack. The sound occured simultaneously with the tires smacking the crack in the road.
The first time it happened, everyone in the car freaked (my wife asked if I had hit something), as it sounded like a stick had fallen near the windsheild.
There are no other indications of a problem...no rattles/vibrations of any kind.
Any thoughts? Is the possible the dash is improperly installed? I'm really baffled by this one.
