Consumer Description

IN JUST A FEW WEEKS THE DASH BUCKLED UP ALMOST SIX INCHES BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WINDSHIELD. CONTACTED GM/BUICK AND THEY GOT THE LOCAL DEALER ON THE PHONE WITH US. NEITHER WOULD DO A THING EXCEPT GIVE ME A QUOTE OF $1000 FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER CHECKING SEVERAL FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS THERE IS A DEFINITE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. PRIOR TO THIS THE CAR HAD BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND THE INTERIOR DETAILED TO KEEP THINGS LIKE THIS FROM OCCURRING. JUST WAIT UNTIL THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS WHILE SOMEONE IS DRIVING AND IS KILLED OR GRAVELY INJURED. SUCH A SHAME THIS KIND OF SITUATION NEEDS TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE!
