5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2015

My dashboard has severe cracks all around the airbag. That is the only area on my dashboard with cracks. My concern is that my airbag may explode and injure me or my passengers. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was informed by servicemen that the dashboard needed to be changed. They gave me the number to Lexus. So, I contacted them on April 27, 2015 and again on may 11, 2015 and filed 2 incident reports to no avail, they finally contacted me on may 14, 2015 to inform me there is nothing they can do for me. So that is why I'm filing this vehicle safety complaint it shouldn't matter when I purchased my vehicle as much as that vehicle cost I should never have a problem with the dashboard cracking around the airbag. I want my vehicle dashboard repaired for my safety and the safety of my passengers.
