DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG OPENINGS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY AFFECT PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR CAUSE THE DASH TO FRAGMENT AND HIT OCCUPANTS IN A COLLISION. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE DEALER WOULD NOT CORRECT, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EXPOSED TO ANY EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES OR PROLONGED SUN EXPOSURE AS IT RESIDE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND WHICH EXPERIENCES 4 RATHER MILD SEASONS. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED BUT UNRESOLVED PROBLEM WITH THESE GM VEHICLES. *TR
