Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Buick Lesabre

I was sitting at a red light when my air bag from the steering column deployed in my face. I did not hit anything. It was on or about 1/25/18. About a week prior to this event my horn began to steadily blow inexplicably. I did not have any reason to suspect anything other than a malfunctioning horn so I disconnected the wires to the horn. When the air bag deployed about a week later I concluded the air bag was inflating inside the steering wheel applying pressure to the horn sensor. I took it to the dealer who, after weeks of investigation, concluded they could not do anything to repair it and suggested I call general motors customer assist center. After reviewing pictures, (no one actually physically looked at it) gm decided corrosion to the sensing module caused the problem. I contend they have a defective valve which overtime began leaking gas into the air bag, hence the issue with the blowing horn.

2003 Buick le sabre. Dashboard is pulling away from the firewall. Electronic parts are exposed. As a result, airbag and other safety sensors and wiring is exposed. There have been reports of airbag deployment. The dash is pulling away toward the passenger side where the airbag is housed. There are many reports of issues on the internet. The dash has pulled away over 2" in the center. It is distracting while driving and if the air bag deploys, it will create an accident. At this point, I would be happy with a fix, it does not have to be a replacement.

Front / top of dashboard separating and delaminating from the interior cabin of vehicle and expending to a point were the one piece exposing open void space and setting off sensors on air bags by pinching and sending a message that the air bags are defective. I have seen no of same model Buicks with similar defects and problems from 2000 to 2004 and newer models on the road. When requested for evaluation from two Buick / gm dealers they had no solution to the issue or offer a solution to the safety issue. Request for investigation to gm for solution and notice to the owners of similar cars to report same or sim. Problems.
