The enamel under the turntable in our microwave is flaking off, about the
length of a pencil where the wheels run under the plate.
Does anyone know if this is dangerous?  Is it still safe to use the
microwave?
Thank you.

Not dangerous, but if it sparks it will damage the magnetron.
If you don't see sparks it should be OK to carry on using it.
