General Motors refuses to replace the top dashboards that are separating before the passenger airbag deploys

They WONT do nothing about it,their is already a long post here about the same problem.

I have a 2002 LeSabre.....same dash cover separation problem. I've read all the posts for 6 months and the facts are: Buick will do nothing, it can't be fixed and the cost to replace the cover is about $800. My solution is to find a way to make the cover look better by placing a shim between the cover edge and the slot where it slipped out of. I used 3 inch finishing nails. Push the point of the nail into the front edge (for about 1 inch), slide the nail to the right and jam it into the slot. I did this yesterday and the cover is down so I can see the bottom of the windshield and it looks so much better. I can live with it and the fix cost practically nothing.

I have the same problem on my 2000 LaSabre. It just started this summer (2011). I have owned Buicks since 1955 but this might be my last.

My dash is coming up too in front of driver side on 2002 Lesabre. My wife bought a 2002 Nissan Altima, close to same time as I bought the Buick, and said to me, " Honey, this is just poor workmanship, my Altima isnt having any problems like this." We both have over 100k miles and hers still looks brand new. I just bought a new vehicle and guess what? It definitely wasn't a GM product. If they wanted to keep GM customers loyalty they would have issued a recall on this.

Forgot to mention. Regulators for 3 electric windows went bad as well. Another item that should have been recalled. Goodbye GM.

I've investigated locally, and everyone tells me ,"learn to live with it." Any attempt to repair it, only renders it a worse eye-sore.(if possible) Who in their right mind would spend $800. on a 12 yr. old car with over 180,000 miles!

After reading the above post, I am now reluctant to attempt to fix the dash on my fathers 2002 Buick La Sabre . It only has 30,000 miles on it. I thought I could just take the dash out, use some liquid nails on it, tuck it in, and leave some heavy weights on it over night. The back windows were repaired twice. The last time he decided to have his repair guy block them from opening. GM needs to step up to the plate on these issues.

I have a 2002 Buick lesabre custom with 66,000 miles which I purchased new. The dashboard is pulling away from the windshield and now is separating the steering column. I am afraid that the airbags may deploy if it separates any more. Also, I had to replace the motors in both of my back windows. What can I do about this? I sent an email to NTSB and buick corporate office. Will they wait until someone is injured or killed to act?

I have a 2001 Buick lasabre and I also have the same problem now the air bag light comes on and dings 3 times while driving I had this checked and they can't tell me nothing about it but that the sensor could be going bad

A prime example on why to not buy from GM

I have an elderly family member with a 2002 Buick Lasabre ,garaged 50 thousand miles. dash is peeling. sometimes the only way to make your dissatisfaction known is go to the source. Please post the CEO's home phone number and possibly all their family's personal phone numbers, time to inconvenience them

I also have a 2003 buick lasabre with the very same problem- was told by the dealer $1,100 to repair and part was on back order- i guess so with so many car's with the same issue

There should be a Class action lawsuit

I have a 2002 Buick Lesabre my dash was repaired two times while under warranty but not long after guess what my dash is worse now. I sent letter to them requesting them to repair it . I also have had to replace all window motor , I really bought a blue lemon and will not purchase another GM vehicle because of their custom service is very bad. I also believe this should be a recall.......

I have also had to replace my headliner and my dash has completely come a loose to where you can see air bag on passenger side. . General Motors yall need to be more consider of the safety of your customers. Please don't wait until a law suit.

This is ridiculous, mine is almost 3/4 of the way across the windshield and starting to affect visibility and passenger side airbag!

Recently purchased a 2002 LeSabre limited. 56,000 miles. In one month, new headliner, sensors for this and that and just noticed this dashboard beginning to separate. Car looked clean but that gets you nowhere

dash was so messed up i had to adjust my seat and position driving so i could see over the dash. ANSWER Pull a Part, Pick a Part depending on your location,they will become your fav junk yard one of mine in Jonesboro,Ar paid $ 20.00 for dash in perfect condition. also videos on you tube with diy fixes that help too

Same problem on garage kept 2001 LeSabre custom, dash board lifting and I’ve replaced three window regulator motors. Such a shame GM driving customers away, car has been trouble free for 100K except for these issues. Won’t be buying another Buick/GM.

I can easily see the passenger airbag and it looks to be in pretty good shape ---- as long as it doesn't deploy on its own. The driver's window is the only one we open, and the dash is reaching up to the roof. Because GM apparently doesn't believe the dashboard is a serious issue, I am comfortable with never buying from GM again. Pass this along!

I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER BUICK!!! So many problems, headliner came down, dashboard separating, heated seat went out 6 months after owning the vehicle. Had to replace all the window regulators. Stay away from Buick!!
