7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2020

I work in a dealership and purchased my vehicle used in April 2016. At the time it had small cracks that extended from the dash airbags about 1" or so towards the windshield. The cracks are now quite large. If the airbags were to deploy, the plastic from the dash would also become airborne. This has become a serious safety concern to myself while driving as well as anyone who may sit in the front seat, including my grandchildren. These cracks are now about 1/4" in width and about 3" long and extend from the edge of the airbag and end at the defogger vents under the windshield. I feel that this is something that gm should be concerned about as well. It would be to gm's advantage to take care of this now, rather than wait until the unthinkable happens. I will forward pictures if you request. Thank you. Elaine carpenter.
