Car parked in home driveway unoccupied, sitting still, running to warm up in very cold ambient air temperature (5 degrees f. Side air bags on passenger and driver side simultaneously deployed damaging the seats and interior trim.
Trip check showed: fuel leak under engine cover, front wheel drive shaft oil leaking fluid, power steering leaking fluid. Air bag light came on after the horn was hit hard, after about 20 minutes it went of, technician couldn't find anything wrong with it.
My car will start then stalls imeaditly.
The dash panel pad is buckling and pulling loose. I am concerned the passenger airbag will deploy.
Dashboard material appears to be faulty, and dashboard is now raised in the air on drivers side (near windshield), partially obstructing view. If the complete dashboard comes loose and separates, this may fully block view resulting in possible accident. Internet search reveals this is a chronic problem on these vehicles.
The approximate incident date . Would not let me put date in . Date was july23'2014.

Ijust bought the car Jan. 2013. And stll owe money on it for 1 more year please help us thank you.
Window motor has gone out numerous times on front 2 windows and has had to be replaced. Last time drivers side was repaired was 4-17-2014. That was 3rd repair . Has since broken again but I did not repair it again. Back driver side window fell open while on interstate 2 years ago. My car is garage kept with around 60,000 miles. These issues started within 3 or 4 years after I purchased it new. The repair shop where I take my car says they have seen many Lesabres with the same problem. Gm doesn't seem to feel there is a problem. I know this because I have written and called them several times about my concerns. Just wish they would have to be held accountable for their poor engineering.
1. Dashboard separating from windshield and causing 3" gap causing partial obstruction. Now is separating more at drivers' side near steering wheel, and about 75% pulled away at this time. Critical safety problem because air bags may be deployed and injury or death could occur. Cannot fix easily and consider it is a critical defect and inferior workmanship. Not able to safely drive the car or able to sell it! 2. Electric windows in back passenger and driver side had to be replaced. $$ 3. Light switch control malfunctions and recently stuck in the "on" position. Had to disconnect battery to turn off. This just happened last night and was inconvenienced greatly !! 4. Headliner falling down and was repaired twice. Now is falling down where it was not repaired!.
The padded dash cover started pulling away from the dash behind the steering wheel. The gap is increasing in size as it moves toward the passenger side.
In 2008 I was driving down the highway and dashboard popped up and I was unable to see the road. Thank god I was able to look out the side window and pull the vehicle off to the side of the highway I was driving, if I had not been in the right hand lane I would have had to stop the car in highway traffic and wait for a tow truck. Buick has refused to acknowledge the problem or offer help with the dashboard warping till it pops up and blinds the driver. I am sure it would affect the deployment of the airbags as well. This is a huge issue with many owners having the same problems and Buick just looks the other way.
Window motors on all windows in the vehicle have been replaced multiple times. If a crash had occurred I would be unable to open window to escape if unable to open door. Talked to Buick and they refuse to acknowledge the problems with the window motors, I have been in contact with other Buick Lesabre owners (at least 100) and they have had the same issues with the window motors failing and needing replacement multiple times with a few owners stating being unable to exit the vehicle after a crash because they could not open the vehicle windows. Again Buick has not offered any help in this matter nor have they even acknowledged there was a problem.
The sunvisors did not fold far enough to see stop lights.
