MY 2003 BUCK LESABRE DASH HAS BUCKLED IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW. THE BUCKLE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOW SO HIGH THAT IT IS BECOMING A DRIVING HAZARD. IT IS ALSO PULLING AWAY IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE IN FRONT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. STARTED TO READ THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAFETY HAZARDS INVOLVED SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2004 BUICK LESABRE LIMITED AT 60 MPH, MY SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WENT TO 95 MPH AND TACHOMETER WENT TO 1500 AND WILL NOT MOVE.. EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STAYS AT 95 MPH AND 1500 RPM RESPECTIVELY. DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH CLUSTERS AND STEPPER MOTORS. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 80K MILES, BUT I HAVE READ WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED AT AS LITTLE AS 20K MILES. COMPLETELY UNFAIR THAT GM MAKES YOU RELY ON HEADS UP DISPLAY FOR A SPEED.. VERY UNSAFE I FEEL BECAUSE THIS DRAWS YOUR EYES FROM ROAD CONSTANTLY. *JS

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A COMPLAINT TO ENTER. THE DASH BOARD COVER HAS SEPARATED ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS ON MY 2003 BUICK LASABRE BEGINNNIG AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT MIGHT OPEN THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND INFLICT POSSIBLE DEATH OR INJURY TO PASSENGER. IT IS ALSO BEGINNING TO RAISE UP AT SEPARATION ENOUGH TO HAMPER VIEWING WHEN DRIVING. THIS CAR HAS ALSO HAD ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED AND ONE IN BACK TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 5 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACEMENTS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALINEMENTS ON FRONT END MORE TIMES THAN I EVER HAD ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. THE ONLY THING THAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE VEHICLE IS THE ENGINE, I HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINT WITH IT SO FAR. ALMOST EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO THAT OWNS A BUICK 2003 HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DASH BOARD. I HOLD GM LIABLE IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY DASH BOARD THAT MIGHT CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO MY PASSENGER. THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH FAULTY DASH BOARDS. I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A SINGLE WINDOW REGULATOR IN ANY CAR I EVER OWNED BEFORE. A CLASS LAWSUIT MIGHT BE THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS. CAN YOU HELP US ?

NOTICED WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IN 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A USED DEALERSHIP. A SMALL PIECE OF THE DASH WAS PEELING UP. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME BUT DASH HAS PRETTY MUCH LIFTED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE. A LITTLE WORRIED THAT THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG MAY GO OFF.READ MANY FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE DASH DOING THE SAME THING. THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SEEN SEVERAL CARS LIKE MINE IN TOWN AND ALMOST EVERYONE I SEE HAS THE SAME DASH PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!! *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NEEDLES ON FUEL GAUGE GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND AND POINTS VERTICAL. NEEDLE CRASHES INTO THE THERMOMETER NEEDLE THAT ALSO POINTS VERTICAL. DOES NOT CORRECTLY REGISTER FUEL OR TEMPERATURE. I AM DEPENDING ON MY ODOMETER TO GUESS AT MY FUEL LEVELS. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED AFTER MY "LOOSE GAS CAP" ALARM CAME ON. I HAD CAP REPLACED 2 TIMES, LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS, OF COURSE MAKES THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON LIGHT STAY ON. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
THE INTERIOR FRONT DASHBOARD HAS CURLED UP STARTING FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD EXTENDING ACROSS TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT MOST 2001 BUICK LESABRES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT RECTIFIED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY RECALL OR RECOURSE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS EFFECTS THE AIRBAGS AND CAUSE THEM TO DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR GOD FORBID KILLED BECAUSE OF AN EXPLODING AIRBAG UNTIL GENERAL MOTORS ACTS ON THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS UNFORESEEN DEFECT. PLEASE HELP US OWNERS AND HAVE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL THE 2001 BUICK LESABRE.. THANK YOU. *TR

SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT MY MOTHER. DASHBOARD COVER STARTED LIFTING AND PULLING OUT FROM UNDER WINDSHIELD COWLING ABOUT JUNE 2009 AND IS TRAVELING ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THERE IS AN AIRBAG. I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THE LIFTING AND CREASING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER IS A SAFETY DISTRACTION AND THAT IF IT CONTINUES TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT AIRBAG MAY GET SET OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IS THERE, OR WILL THERE BE, A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY MOTHERS SAFETY WHILE SHE IS DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. IT WILL BOUNCE FROM 1/4 A TANK TO 1/2 A TANK TO FULL. IT IS ALWAYS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS A SIGN OF A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT (ITS A SENSOR). THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS, SO I KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR, I CAN'T KEEP DUMPING $10/$20 A WEEK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OBSERVED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR WAS A LEAK IN THE NYLON FUEL PRESSURE LINE FEEDING THE REAR FUEL RAIL ON THE ENGINE. THE LEAK IN THE LINE WAS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE SHROUD. THE ENGINE HAS A REMOVABLE PLASTIC SHROUD, AND THE EDGE OF THE SHROUD WAS RUBBING ON THE FUEL LINE AND EVENTUALLY CUT THROUGH THE LINE AND CREATED A PINHOLE LEAK. *TR
