A crack appeared recently on the dashboard starting at the corner of the passenger airbag. I just hope a friend or family member is not killed if i ever were to get in an accident. I see there have been quite a few complaints regarding this. Why has gm ignored it and not started an investigation?

There is a crack in the dash that extends from the passenger side airbag area. I am concerned with the fact that if the airbag were to deploy it could propel plastic material into the cabin and at the passengers.
