DASHBOARD SEPARATION IN FRONT OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT IS NOW SEPARATING TOWARD THE PASSENGER CABIN, IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THIS WILL CAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WHILE IN MOTION, THIS STARTED AROUND JULY OF 2011 AND I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER BUICK OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT DOWN TO THE MINUTE DETAIL. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS OFF WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. DOES NOT RESET AFTER THE ADULT ADJUSTS THEIR POSTURE IN THE SEAT. BASED ON MY INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED. IF THERE IS A CRASH, THE PASSENGER WOULD NOT BE PROTECTED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS OFF. *TR

DISCOVERED PROBLEM BEFORE AN INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE REQUIRES SOME ATTENTION. THE STEEL FUEL SUPPLY LINE ON MY 2006 BUICK RENDEZVOUS THAT GOES FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE FUEL INJECTORS HAS A SLEEVE ON IT, LOCATED BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT, THAT TRAPS MOISTURE CAUSING ACCELERATED RUST AND CORROSION OF THE PRESSURIZED SUPPLY LINE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD AND THE AMOUNT OF RUST AROUND THE SLEEVE IS ADVANCED RELATIVE TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS. WITHOUT ATTENTION, THE FUEL LINE APPEARS AS IF FAILURE IS IMMINENT. WHILE RUST IS INEVITABLE AND EXPECTED, THIS AMOUNT OF RUST IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IS SURPRISING AND, MOST LIKELY, CAUSED BY THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. *TR

THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT HAD A MISS, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FLASHING, THEN STOPPED FLASHING BUT REMAINED ON. I DROVE VEHICLE HOME, AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT HAD HYDRO LOCKED DUE TO COOLANT DRIPPING ON THE PISTON FROM A COOLANT LEAK AT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP REPAIR. *TR
