The padded dash has peeled up and away from dash frame in front of the steering wheel. It is continuing to spread (peel up and away from the frame) across the padded dash from left to right, towards the passenger area. It continues to grow in severity, and I am concerned about the passenger airbag, with respects to it deploying without warning, due to the peeling/warping of the dash around it. I have put a dash mat (cover) over the problem for appearance purposes, but even that doesn't hide the growing magnitude of the problem anymore. I have been told that it will cost me anywhere from $350 - $1,200. 00 to correct this problem from independent repair shops in the area, to the gm Buick dealer. This is a design flaw, & "safety" issue direct from the manufacturer. Other than this ever increasing problem, the car is in immaculate condition, & I would like to keep it due to its mechanical reliability, fuel economy, & comfort. I believe an oem padded dash replacement, should be made a recall on the part of gm as this has not happened due to negligence, age of the vehicle (it began when the car was relatively new), or accident. I respectfully look forward to receiving a response from you.

Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Buick Lesabre. The contact stated that the padded dashboard began to peel behind the steering wheel. The failure spread to the passenger's side of the dashboard. The contact was concerned that the air bag would erroneously deploy as a result. The dealer was notified of the issue and advised the contact that they were aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 100,000. Kmj.

I have a 2003 Buick Lesabre that the dash has come unglued and has buckled up half way across the dashboard. The dash is mainly affected in the area infront of the steering wheel, but is getting worse and spreading towards the center and passenger side. I'm really scared to drive my car. So afraid the airbags may not work correctly in an emergency, or even worse, that the airbags go off for no apparent reason! I have friends with the same problem. There is an internet link with a Buick Lesabre forum where many other dissatisfied Lesabre owners are complaining of the same problem. Therefore, I know mine is not an isolated case. I have contacted the dealership where I purchased the car. They told me gm was not responsible for this problem. An estimate of $525. 49 was given just for a new upper dash. This did not include labor. Please help!!!.

Dash panel is separating from frame , started in front of driver & progressing towards passenger side where air bag is located which is a possible safety problem ,not to mention resale or trade in.

There was a leak coming from the dashboard. As a result of heavy rain dashboard wires/floorboard were wet.

Consumer would touch the door and receive a static electrical shock. Have taken vehicle to dealership numerous times for this problem which the mechanic can not correct. Ph.

The cup holders are too small to hold a cup or soda can. They are of two different sizes. When a stop is made they have a tendency to spill and when a person reaches to grab them an accident can occur. The factory says that is design, and nothing can be done about it. I asked for a recall or a replacement and was turned down. Mine spilled and poured hot coffee all over the floor. I would appreciate a reply as to what can be done about this situation.

The vehicle has a large center console between two front seats containing two cup holders, the cup holdrers are too large and the plastic retainers are too thin and flexible to provide any stability, a regular size cup (6 oz, 12 oz or 16 oz) can easily turn over splashing fluid.

The sun visors hang straight down and not back making it difficult to see out of the window while driving. Nlm.

Roof leak.
