I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FOR THE PAST 3.5 YEARS. THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK THAT STARTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD WHICH IS NOW A LONG CRACK SINCE IT CONTINUES TO GROW. THERE IS ALSO A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS WERE NOT CREATED BY CONTACT WITH ANOTHER OBJECT, ACCIDENT, ITEMS LAID ON TOP OF THE DASH, OR VANDALISM. I FEAR THAT IF AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED, THE DASH WILL BREAK APART AND PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL BE PROJECTED TOWARDS THE PASSENGERS CAUSING GREAT BODILY HARM OR DEATH.
