Example complaints

“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10467175, filed 2012-07, 98,000 miles“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.”
