THE DASHBOARD IS SEPARATING OR PEELING APART. IT STARTED A YEAR AGO, IT WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES WIDE, NOW IT HAS SEPARATED ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH AND SICKS UP INTO MY VIEW ABOUT 5-6 INCHES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY CAR TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW AND COULD BE LETHAL TO THE PASSENGER. IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

THE DASHBOARD COVER HAS COME LOOSE AND HAS LEFT A 3 INCH GAP NEAR THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BUICK LE SABRES WITH THE SAME DEFECT. I SAW 3 SIMILAR DEFECTS IN MY OWN RETIREMENT COMMUNITY ON SIMILAR CARS. THIS DEFECT COULD ALSO CAUSE A RELEASE OF THE AIR BAG WHICH PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. BUICK SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL MY CAR AND REPLACE THE COVER. THIS IS CLEARLY A PRODUCT DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MORE THAN 60 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A DASHBOARD COVER COME LOOSE.
