Drywall tape repairs crack#

This crack in our upstairs bathroom is newer too. Looks like the tape popped off almost in a single piece! This is the ceiling in one of my boy's room. Pics follow, they are highly compressed to save space. I've never repaired a ceiling before (just built and finished walls) - do you think the damage can be repaired without being too obvious? I told her they probably won't even know the drywall contractor who did the job and even if they did, he probably wouldn't be in business in the same name today. My wife seems to think we should go after the builder even though we are the second owner. Second, would you recommend I repair the failing parts right now? Or wait for more to go bad?.First, how do we STOP any more of this from happening?.

Since then it's kicked into high gear - more than HALF of the tape in our 2 car garage is peeling off, and there are a couple new spots inside the house where the tape is coming off the walls! What gives? This really has us spooked and waiting for more joints to go bad. It wasn't that bad in the garage when we moved in - perhaps a section of tape about 6' long had started peeling. One thing they made sure to point out was the peeling drywall tape at the joints in two places - the ceiling in the garage, and in the closet of our bedroom. We moved in less than two years ago, and the previous owners (elderly) were pretty open about the flaws that were in the house. Our house is approximately 15 years old - it's a 'standard' development house in a suburb.
