Consumer Description

THE DASHPAD ON MY 2002 BUICK LESABRE HAS PULLED LOOSE AT THE BASE AND IS BUNCHED UP IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TRIED WITHOUT SUCCESS TO GLUE THE PAD BACK DOWN MYSELF BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE READ BLOG POSTS FROM SEVERAL 2000-2005 LESABRE OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO I NOW REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT THE ISOLATED PROBLEM I HAD THOUGHT IT WAS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE DASHPAD CONTINUES TO PULL LOOSE, THE AIRBAG SENSORS COULD BE TRIGGERED AND CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO INFLATE WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR MOST OF THE TIME, AND SINCE SHE IS ONLY 5 FEET TALL, SHE MUST MOVE THE SEAT UP ALMOST AS FAR AS IT WILL GO. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER RIDES IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHEN MY WIFE TAKES HER TO SCHOOL. I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY SHOULD THE AIRBAGS ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY DUE TO THE DASHPAD COMING LOOSE. *TR
