2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

OUR CAR HAS 86,500K MILES AND IS GARAGED. WE HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD. ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AIR BAG AND THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL. MY CONCERN IS IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS IN AN ACCIDENT IT WILL BE COMPROMISED BY THE CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD LEAVING THE PASSENGER UNPROTECTED FROM THE AIRBAG. THE LATEST CRACK OCCURRED JUST THIS PAST WEEK. MY CAR WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I HEARD THE CRACK OCCUR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. UPON LOOKING AT THE DASHBOARD I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE CRACK. THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL AND IF IT IS THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN THE DESIGN. PLEASE ADVISE.

DASH CONTAINS FOUR CRACKS. TWO CRACKS THAT ARE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER AND TWO CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DOOR ON DASH.

TAKATA INFLATORS ... STILL NO REPAIR INFO. ALSO, AS NOTED IN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG/DASH COVER HAS A HUGE CRACK ALL THE WAY ACROSS. NEEDS TO BE FIXED. ALSO - WE HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AFTER ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHEN WILL THEY ADDRESS THESE ISSUES?
