Consumer Description

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.
