TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD REST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS TOO BIG AND WHEN HE LOOKED TO HIS RIGHT IT WOULD BLOCK HIS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT CHANGE IT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,045. UPDATED 07/08/11*LJ UPDATED 07/20/11

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK RAINIER. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WAS FLUCTUATING IN BETWEEN READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11014 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) THAT COULD POTENITALLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,600.

THE DASHBOARD IS SEPARATING OR PEELING APART. IT STARTED A YEAR AGO, IT WAS ABOUT 12 INCHES WIDE, NOW IT HAS SEPARATED ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH AND SICKS UP INTO MY VIEW ABOUT 5-6 INCHES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING MY CAR TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW AND COULD BE LETHAL TO THE PASSENGER. IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2003 BUICK LESABRE BEGAN TO SEPARATE AND PEEL AWAY FROM THE BODY AND BUCKLE OUT TOWARD THE PASSENGER SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK INTO PLACE. IT WILL VERY LIKELY PROPOSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIR BAGS NEED TO BE DEPLOYED OR MAY EVEN CAUSE PREMATURE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

2003 BUICK LESABRE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILURE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE INTAKE GASKET DEVELOPED A LEAK, WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT TO GET INTO THE OIL. THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AT 46,333 MILES AND THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AT 71,193 MILES. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS ALLEGED TO BE AN INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE GM DEX-COOL COOLANT WHICH WAS INTRODUCED IN 1995 AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET MATERIAL WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND/OR SEIZE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB
