What 2000 Buick Lesabre owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dash is separating causing it to pull apart at passenger airbag and glove compartment. Worried air bag will deploy and harm someone or not work at all. Can't open glove compartment anymore.
Dashboard pad separated and buckled up blocking view. The separation is increasing and growing towards the passenger airbag location.
The air bag light came on with no warning.
Dashboard is buckled all the way across. Keeps getting worse and I'm afraid the airbag on the passenger side will deploy causing me to have an accident. I am afraid to drive it but it is my only means of transportation. I would appreciate any help with this matter. Buick really should consider a recall for this before someone gets hurt or worse yet killed. Thanks
My dashboard started to separate from the drivers side and is going over to passengers side airbag. Half way there now.I'm worried about the airbag going off when I'm driving. The dealer says it cannot be fixed that it needs to have a whole new dashboard put in. I think this is happening to alot of the buick lesabres. It just keeps going little by little everyday over to the passenger side and I'm worried. I don't think I should have to be the one to pay for this product that was faulty in the first place.
