2001 Buick Lesabre limited 'dash mat' has separated and buckled in front of the steering wheel causing a visibility issue and is seems to continue to be separating towards the passenger side airbag - based on my online research it seems that this is a very common issue amongst 2000 - 2005 Lesabre owners. I live in Florida and am not sure if heat is a contributing factor.

Dash panel cover separating and buckling in front of driver's steering wheel GM will not replace and I feel it could cause visibility problems later. Have read online other drivers have had problems with it causing airbag to deploy on passage side if it separates all the way across dash.

2001 Buick lasabre dash is peeling up between steering wheel and windshield. Started peeling up within a few years of car being manufacturer's. per local dealership, Buick will not cover expense to repair. This has become a real safety issue as you can barely see over the dash as it is sticking up so high and I have concerns that the air bag will deploy on the passenger side as the dash continues to peel all the way across the dash. Someone is going to get severely injured or killed if Buick does not fix this factory defect. Buick should issue a national recall to repair a defective dash.

The dash covering has begun shrinking or pulling away from the windshield for some time now. Don' know if this will ultimately compromise the air bag system or not. It is just plain shoddy workmanship. My 1991 Lesabre interior held up much better than this 2001.

The dash pad on my 2001 Buick Lesabre is coming apart from the dash. It causes a decrease in my view and I have done nothing to cause this.

On my 2001 Lesabre limited, the dashpad came pulled loose and started bunching up in front of the steering wheel. GM is not doing anything about it. If it causes airbag deploy or a sudden block of the driver's view, a serious accident may follow.
