The upper dashboard has separated from the car as it is raised from the left corner to the middle of the dashboard, at the front of the dashboard closest to the windshield. In some places it is over 6 inches raised. It continues to worsen, moving over to the right side of the dash closer to the passenger airbag. I am concerned that this might cause the passenger airbag to go off by mistake. It has also reached the height where driver frontal vision is beginning to be slightly impaired because of this defect. I am aware that this is an inherent problem with these dashboards in this model vehicle. I have contacted gm and they have offered no assistance. This vehicle has been garaged and not out in the sun more than usual.

The dash pad started peeling up, from the windshield side directly in front of the driver, approximately 2007. Every year it curled up more & more, by 2013 it had lifted about 3". I contacted buick around 2010 about this defect, they did nothing. After researching this defect I have found hundreds of other buick owner have had this same issue. This curling defect can particularly block one's field of view, especially short drivers who may not even be aware the dash is curling up.

Dash pad cover material has separated from the dash pad base. Issue is seen on many 2000-2005 buick lesabre automobiles. Manufacturing defect that needs a senior brand manager to step up to the plate for a solution to the high number of dissatisfied owners like me. I also have a 2002 lesabre custom that is doing the exact same thing. I will file a complaint on that unit as well.
