2003 Buick Lesabre

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 BUICK LASABRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASH DETACHED FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 01/18/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASH HAS CONTINUED TO PEEL TO THE RIGHT OF THE AIR BAG AND THE LIGHT HAS STARTED TO FLASH INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SUNVISOR BROKE OFF. THE ABS LOCKED-UP WHEN THE CONSUMER HIT A POTHOLE. UPDATED EVOQ 03/02/11

THE DASH PAD IS COMING APART, SEPARATING AND BUCKLING UP SO HIGH THAT IT IS NOW A VISUAL HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE WEATHER IS SOMEWHAT WARM OR HOT, THE BUCKLING IS MUCH WORSE. IT IS NOW SEPARATING FURTHER TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEADS UP DISPLAY AND EVEN THAT IS BEING AFFECTED BY THE DASH PAD COMING APART. I PAID LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND EXPECT TO KEEP AND DRIVE IT FOR MANY YEARS. WITH THIS SAFETY DEFECT GETTING MUCH WORSE AS TIME GOES BY, I NOW WONDER HOW MUCH LONGER I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. IT IS A COMPLETE SHAME BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS LIKE BRAND NEW EXCEPT FOR THIS UNSAFE FACTORY DEFECT. EVERY ONE OF THESE VEHICLES FROM YEARS 2001 THRU 2005 THAT I HAVE NOTICED IN PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES, AND EVEN ON THE HIGHWAYS, HAVE THIS SAME FACTORY SAFETY DEFECT. I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO OWN THIS SAME MODEL VEHICLE BUT DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS, AND THEIR DASH PADS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS MINE. PLEASE MAKE GM ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!

THE DASH ON BUICK LESABRE MODEL YEARS 2000-2005 PEELS AWAY STARTING AT THE WINDSHIELD AND STICKS UP AND CONTINUES ACROSS . CONCERN WHEN IT GETS TO THE RIGHT SIDE THE AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY..ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE DASH. HAVE CONTACTED BUICK ABOUT THIS BUT THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA,WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE RECEIVED PAPERS TO FILL OUT AND RETURN ,HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM YET (4 WEEKS AGO) SPOKE TO BUICK REP. 11-2-2010 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE FILED A COMPLAINT TO INITIATE A RECALL. PERSON SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT COULD BE INJURED IF THE DASH PEELED AWAY ENOUGH TO ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY THE DASH STARTED PEELING UP 16 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. (12-2-2002) 2003 BUICK LESABRE CUSTOM. HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
