1 Structure problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2012

I own the lasabre custom. Dashboard has buckled 1/2 way between the front of the dashboard to the chassis in front of driver's side and spread across to the passenger side. Dashboard has separated away from the chassis and is now 90% free-floating across the entire dashboard and will be completely disengaged soon. This will likely deploy the passenger side airbag and upon deployment the driver's airbag will release while the car is in movement. Injury or death to both passenger and driver is eminent, as well as the safety to oncoming traffic. Considering the hundreds of complaints from other 2000-2005 Buick lasabre customers going back 4 years to current, there is clear evidence that this is a manufacturer's defect and a recall is in order. Should there be a death before this is validated?.

2 Structure problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2012

I have a 2004 Buick Lesabre limited that the dash pad has started raising up between the steering wheel and windshield. Based on the amount of information found on the internet concerning this problem, this could be a issue of safety. I feel that gm should be forced to issue a recall for this defect before someone is injured or killed.

3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2010

Dash board pad popped up above the gage panel approx. 14" was reported to Buick service center and was told no warranty. This vehicle is garage kept except when in transit. I have owned quite a number of general motors vehicles and never witnessed this problem. I am 73 years of age. My other car is a Toyota in 2015 I will buy my third prius. My brothers are all Toyota owners. Never another american car.

4 Structure problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2009

Safety concerns about my mother. Dashboard cover started lifting and pulling out from under windshield cowling about June 2009 and is traveling across to the passenger side where there is an airbag. I am now concerned that the lifting and creasing in front of the driver is a safety distraction and that if it continues to the passenger airbag that airbag may get set off unexpectedly, another safety hazard. It is definitely a manufacturer's defect and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints of this on the internet. Is there, or will there be, a recall to fix this problem? I am really concerned about my mothers safety while she is driving this car. Thank you.

5 Structure problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2008

Dashboard has buckled and separated from chassis in front of driver's field of vision and spreads across middle area and towards passenger side. Fear of setting off air bags and also further impairment of vision as condition worsens. Seems to be a defective design by manufacturer. Numerous similar cases in Buick Lesabre models 2000-2005.
