Cracked dash near my air bag provide a big hazard. I have other cracks around my dashboard also, but the thing that scares me the most is the cracks by my airbag. I could lead to pices of sharp plastic flying to my passenger if the air bag ever goes off. Please we need a recall.

What 2007 Chevrolet Silverado owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
3-4 rust areas. 2-3 roof above wind shield. Major being driver side next too brake lite on roof. Rust area is approx. Size of silver dollar thru roof. I have filled this area with bondo and repainted. Similar situation occurred to friend. Situation cost him approx. $3k to fix electrical problem resulting from this as stated by chev dealer dare cty.
Headliner clothe separated from headliner blocking drivers view.
Dash board is cracking by air bag and continues to crack above instrument cluster. Concerned about shrapnel if air bag where to deploy causing more injury.
I noticed when I got into my vehicle that there was a crack on the passenger side dash, right above the airbag. This can't be safe! If the airbag were to deploy, then what is to stop the rest of the dash to explode apart like shrapnel causing injury to some in the vehicle. I am afraid for my passengers safety! About a week later found another crack on the driver's side of the dash. I have done some research and there are hundreds of others who have experienced the same problems! Also, their pictures posted on social media show the cracks are in the same locations as that of my dash. I honestly believe that this problem is due to poor design and cheap constructed parts. Gm should be held accountable and rectify these issues before someone gets injured or even worse. Here is a link to the social media group page which is only about this issue: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Cracks with sharp edges around passenger side airbag and dash.
Safety concern with cracks in dash around passenger side airbag.
Abs does not work, light is on the dash. Airbag lights are on the dash and not sure if they are working, tailgate does not latch closed. Key does not always want to turn and we need to move it back and forth before it will start the vehicle.
I have been having a problem with exterior door handles breaking off. This has happened to me 3 times on my 2007 chevy silverado pick up truck. If you need to pull a little hard on the door handle to open the door because it has snow or ice on it (or it is just locked), it breaks off. The handles are made of plastic. My safety concern is this: if I am in an accident and unable to open the door myself, a rescue person may grab the handle a little too hard and it breaks off, thus they will be unable to get me out of the car quickly. I have ask gm if there were any recalls on this and they said no. Like I said I have replaced the handles 3 times and the truck has less than 50000 miles on it.
Plastic dash has cracked near air bag. Could lead to sharp plastic pieces from dash being sent into passenger compartment when air bag deploys.
