The back of the front dashboard has been peeling up nearly since I bought it. It is peeled away all across the front where it connects near the window. I found some information that said it can cause a hazard if it peels to the passenger side because it can cause the airbags to deploy. It's an expensive fix. It also does take some visibility away.
Dash mat separation bulge in front of steering wheel moving toward pass airbag.
The leather covering on the dash detached from the dashboard at the windshield on the driver side of the car. Our concern is; if the car is in a crash will the airbag or impact cause the remainder of the dash to detach and cause additional injury to the passengers. Buick claims there is no safety issue and will not repair the dash.
The dash board is separating or "bucking up", which can cause the air bag to deploy if it separates too far. The dealer says that it is not covered under the warranty that I purchased. Does someone have to be seriously injured before something is done about this problem? I have seen other Buick Lesabres doing the same thing. There should be a recall done on all 2000-2005 Lesabres.
The dashboard on my 2001 Buick Lesabre is buckling between the windshield and the steering wheel.
Dash panel cover separating and buckling in front of driver’s steering wheel gm will not replace and I feel it could cause visibility problems later. Have read online other drivers have had problems with it causing airbag to deploy on passage side if it separates all the way across dash.
In just a few weeks the dash buckled up almost six inches between the steering wheel and the windshield. Contacted gm/Buick and they got the local dealer on the phone with us. Neither would do a thing except give me a quote of $1000 for replacement. After checking several forums on this issue, it appears there is a definite design/manufacturing problem that gm refuses to acknowledge. Prior to this the car had been garage kept and the interior detailed to keep things like this from occurring. Just wait until the airbag deploys while someone is driving and is killed or gravely injured. Such a shame this kind of situation needs to occur before something is done!.
Dash pad "melted" according to dealer. Cost over $800. 00 to replace, although vehicle under warranty.
In Jan. 2005 the battery posts corroded off and acid leaked onto floor causing a hole. . . . Gm replaced battery. . . . Now I have both rear windows fall down and I had to wire them up from inside the door panel to keep them up. No response from gm. Then the left front window fell and I did same thing to it. . . Dealer just says it is roughly 500. 00 a door to fix. . . . This is ridiculous. . I have bought only Buicks for last 41 yrs and will rethink buying the next one.
Battery acid leaked out of the positive terminal onto the floor pan. (nar).
