Dashboard has buckled and separated from chassis in front of driver's field of vision and spreads across middle area and towards passenger side. Fear of setting off air bags and also further impairment of vision as condition worsens. Seems to be a defective design by manufacturer. Numerous similar cases in buick lesabre models 2000-2005.

I have a 2004 buick lesabre limited that the dash pad has started raising up between the steering wheel and windshield. Based on the amount of information found on the internet concerning this problem, this could be a issue of safety. I feel that gm should be forced to issue a recall for this defect before someone is injured or killed.
We noticed around mid-june that our 2004 buick lasabre had a warped dashboard and is pulling away from the vent area. I was told that this can and probably will continue to spread and endanger our lives by the airbag deploying while driving. This is a definite safely hazard and a defect and I am aware that this is happening to many buicks and the company is unwilling to correct the situation.

Dash board separating front driver's side and passenger side, possible air bag inflation if failure of dash occurs.
Dash pad separating to point where vision could be affected and possible deployment of air bag affected.
Re: 2004 buick lesabre custom issue: dashboard buckling, warped and coming undone from other components. Took to gm authorized dealership which recommended the dashboard be replaced. Quoted $750 for part and $500 labor. I was told it should be replaced soon because it could trigger the airbag in the passenger seat.
