VISIBILITY/WIPER

MY FRONT DASHBOARD HAS BEEN GRADUALLY COMING UNATTACHED NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS HINDERING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE AND WE HAVE DECIDED IT IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO USE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE HER VIEW OF THE ROAD IS BLOCKED BY THE LIFTED DASHBOARD. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANNOT BELIEVE BUICK HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT WHICH IS AFFECTING SO MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

VISIBILITY

I PURCHASED THE CAR ON A CLOUDY DAY. WHEN I DID, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A SCRATCH IN THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A USED CAR, IT WAS SOLD AS IS. IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY, NOT THEIRS. I THINK IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM TO SELL A CAR WITH A SCRATCHED WINDSHIELD.
