AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN JANUARY 2006. IN JANUARY OF 2018, I DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD, WHERE THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG IS LOCATED CRACKED. THE CRACK OUTLINES THE SHAPE OF THE AIRBAG. I ALSO DISCOVERED ANOTHER CRACK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAG MAY ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2004 & 2006 TLS. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND ACURA IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE COMMON PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

MY 2004 ACURA TL IS EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN SLIPPING GEARS. THE ENGINE WOULD REV WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC SO THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A CRASH. I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY JUST MOMENTS BEFORE THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT INTO PARK. THE CAR WOULD NOT PROPERLY SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING AND THAT SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN RECALL #04V176000.

MY 2006 ACURA TL DASHBOARD CRACKED AFTER BAD SNOW STORM HERE. THERE ARE MANY CRACKS AND THE DEEPEST IS VERTICAL ALONGSIDE AIRBAG. ACURA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND NOT CORRECTING DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY JUST NEVER EXPOSED TO FRIGID WEATHER. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN AND IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY.

MY ACURA TL 2006 DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO (JUNE 2016). I HAD USED ARMOR ALL CONSISTENTLY YET THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO CRACK AND TODAY, I SEE THE CRACK BEHIND THE CENTRAL DASHBOARD SPEAKER CONTINUE T GROW. THE SECOND PHOTO I HAVE ATTACHED SHOWS THE SIGNIFICANT CRACKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, AND COINCIDENTALLY, AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I WOULD LIKE THIS DASHBOARD REPLACED TO ORIGINAL CONDITION (WITHOUT CRACKS), AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THESE CRACKS HAVE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS SAFETY SYSTEM.

DASH IS CRACKED IN MY 2004 ACURA TL AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A BIG MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THIS PART ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE MAJORITY OF CARS I'VE SEEN AS WELL AS MINE ARE SHOWING THIS PROBLEM THAT AFFECT NOT ONLY THE INTERIOR COSMETIC LOOK OF THE CARS BUT ALSO THE SAFETY SINCE IT INVOLVES THE AIR BAGS SECTION THAT ARE PROTECTED ON THE DASH. AT LEAST ACURA SHOULD GIVE TL'S OWNERS A DISCOUNT IF A RECALL IS NOT OPEN FOR THIS PROBLEM.
