DASHBOARD ON MY SUBURBAN BEGAN CRACKING AT 40K MILES. NOW HAS 3 CRACKS, ONE AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, ONE IN THE MIDDLE, AND ONE NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RISE. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED DURING AN ACCIDENT, IT WILL SEND BROKEN PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC AS A PROJECTILE THROUGHOUT THE CAR. I HAVE 5 KIDS RANGING FROM TWIN 1 YEAR OLD BABIES TO A 21 YEAR OLD. AS A PARAMEDIC FIREFIGHTER, I COMMONLY SEE HOW PROJECTILES IN THE CAR CAN BECOME DEADLY. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE.
