2002 BUICK LESABRE Complaints

I FOUND OUT THAT THIS GAS LINE LEAKAGE ISSUE EXIST IN EVERYONE THAT I KNOW WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THERE IS A FUEL LINE CLIP THAT CAN BE REPLACED. THE CLIP IS INSERTED AT THE END OF THE FUEL LINE THAT CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE BUT THIS CLIP DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG ONCE REPLACED. EVENTUALLY THE CLIP WON'T WORK ANYMORE AS IF IT IS THE FUEL LINE ITSELF THAT IS BAD. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL BUICK AND IS DANGEROUS. I'M JUST WONDERING HOW CAN SUCH AN ISSUE NEVER BEEN ON THE BUICK RECALL LIST FOR THIS MODEL CAR. MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS CAR SAY THAT THEY HAVE SMELLED THE GAS FUMES AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE GAS ACTUALLY LEAKS/ DRIP FROM THE FUEL LINE'S CLIP ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. ( CAN YOU SAY VERY DANGEROUS) THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

THE DASH COVER HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. NOTICED EVERYONE ON CAR LOTS NEAR THIS YEAR ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN THE PRODUCT, PLEASE HELP. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF IT CONTINUES ACROSS TO RIGHT SIDE THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. *TR

THE PADDED DASH PEELED UP AWAY FROM THE DASH FRAME IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL. IT IS PEELING ACROSS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG DEPLOYING WITHOUT WARNING. G.M. SAYS THIS PART IS DISCONTINUED AND YOU CAN NOT FIND THIS PART ANYWHERE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PADDED DASH BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT. *TR

THE PADDED DASH HAS PEELED UP AND AWAY FROM DASH FRAME IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS CONTINUING TO SPREAD (PEEL UP AND AWAY FROM THE FRAME) ACROSS THE PADDED DASH FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, TOWARDS THE PASSENGER AREA. IT CONTINUES TO GROW IN SEVERITY, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WITH RESPECTS TO IT DEPLOYING WITHOUT WARNING, DUE TO THE PEELING/WARPING OF THE DASH AROUND IT. I HAVE PUT A DASH MAT (COVER) OVER THE PROBLEM FOR APPEARANCE PURPOSES, BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T HIDE THE GROWING MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM ANYMORE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $350 - $1,200.00 TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FROM INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA, TO THE GM BUICK DEALER. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, & "SAFETY" ISSUE DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. OTHER THAN THIS EVER INCREASING PROBLEM, THE CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION, & I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT DUE TO ITS MECHANICAL RELIABILITY, FUEL ECONOMY, & COMFORT. I BELIEVE AN OEM PADDED DASH REPLACEMENT, SHOULD BE MADE A RECALL ON THE PART OF GM AS THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED DUE TO NEGLIGENCE, AGE OF THE VEHICLE (IT BEGAN WHEN THE CAR WAS RELATIVELY NEW), OR ACCIDENT. I RESPECTFULLY LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING A RESPONSE FROM YOU. *TR
