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.

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.

8 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2004 Buick Lesabre

Failure Date: 05/30/2009

The lights on my heater console began to go out, one by one over a one week period. Obviously all these bulbs were manufactured at the same tine to the very same specs! after finding out from y service shop that I would have to replace the whole unit (at a cost of over $600 just for the part), I found some bulbs from radio shack that I soldered in myself (through fixya. Com - so many people had the same problem). Shortly thereafter, more bulbs on other switches (window controls, steering wheel controls, radio) also went out. This could be a very dangerous situation if you have drivers hunting in the dark for controls as they are driving. Texting is bad enough, but fumbling in the dark for your own car's controls and trying to correct a button you pushed inadvertently can cause a major accident.

9 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2002 Buick Lesabre

Failure Date: 05/20/2003

When I accidentally ( with out my knowing that I had bumped the parking light switch) bumped the parking light switch while adjusting the dash lights while driving after dark the head lights went out, I had no idea why the head lights went out. It was a good thing that I was only driving about 5 to 10 mile per hour and was able to stop with out an accident. It took me a while to figure out why the head lights had gone out, I pushed all the light switches until finding out that I had accidentally pushed the parking light switch. I notified Buick customer service and they said that there was nothing wrong with the lights, that the head lights were designed to go out when the parking light switch was pushed. They refused to take any action of any kind what so ever. If your head lights go when driving 65 mph after dark, that it is a serious safety problem.
