    My dashboard has cracked around the passenger side airbag and on top of the driverside dash. I am afraid that the cracks around the airbag are a safety hazard for my family. Both cracks are growing rapidly. Vehicle has less than 44,000 miles and is in excellent condition.

    The dash of the vehicle has cracked around the forward edge of the passenger-side airbag. I am concerned that pieces of the dash may become missile hazards in the event of an air bag deployment. This vehicle has only been subjected to highway mileage. A cursory search of the internet for causes of the crack revealed that this is an on-going issue for this model vehicle that is being ignored by the gm corporation.
