I have had to replace all four power window motors, the dash is coming apart and is raised blocking some visibility and potentially affecting the air bag deployment in an accident. In addition, it seems to me that braking vibration / pulsation has been a problem on all five of my buick lesabres

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.

Dashboard top is separating and buckling in area between steering wheel and windshield. It started slowly when I first purchased the car and has progressively gotten worse with time. While researching the problem, I found this to be a common issue. I'm worried that as the dashboard separation gets worse, it will affect the passenger air bag and/or vehicle electronics in the dashboard area leading to an accident.

The dash pad on my 2001 buick le sabre has separated and buckled up approximately six inches in height and mostly in front of my steering wheel, however it is lifted 3/4 of the way across the entire dash. It is now open in the front along where it meets the windshield. It has lifted almost all the way to the passenger side air bag. Upon reading on line, I see that this is a very common problem for 2001 through 2005 buicks and I am just another complaint to add to the list. The rise in the dash certainly effects my view while driving. I have placed a thick pad on top of my drivers seat to raise my body. This assists me, so I am able to peer over the raised dash while driving. I am greatly concerned that the separation, is going to suddenly deploy my passenger side air bag.

I was driving home from work at 45 miles per hour when my buicks air bag deployed for no good reason and caused me to rear end a fellow employee at a light. I was dumbfounded by the accident and was wondering what happened because I recalled no red light or seeing brake lights. I am so happy that my fellow employee are not detrimentally injured by this. The bag apparently shocked me and the dashboard blinded me so I had no way to react.. I sure hope that this problem is address to the fullest extent. I thankful that I was not driving on the interstate at the time. I am also expecting buick to replace my car at the same value atleast.
