THE DASH BOARD HAS TWO LARGE CRACKS ON IT, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE DIRECTLY BELOW THESE CRACKS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AS THIS ONE HOWEVER ACURA IS NOT RECOGNIZING THIS AS A DEFECT?

OVER THE YEARS SINCE I PURCHASED THE ACURA 06 TL I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY- CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES. I PURCHASED A FEW BATTERIES ALREADY. FINALLY ON 7-24-2017 I WAS OUT OF TOWN (WEST PALM BEACH) WHEN MY CAR WON'T START. I WENT TO CLOSEST ACURA DEALER WHERE I LEARNED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A DEFECTIVE HFL THAT HAD A PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY FROM DEFECTIVE HFL. HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BATTERY. ACURA NEVER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT OF HAND FREE LINK. IN PAST I HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND POWER STEERING. CERTAIN FEATURES STILL DOES NOT WORK- PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW, HEATING ELEMENT FOR CAR SEAT PASSENGER, POWER OUTLET IN CONSOLE BOX.

HEADED OUT IN THE AFTERNOON, IT WAS MAY 2016 WEATHER WAS MILD 70 DEGREES. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER TURNING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME WHO COULDN'T GO AROUND UNTIL THE OTHER SIDE WAS CLEAR. NO LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASHBOARD, THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T GO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WENT A FEW FEET AND THEN STOPPED DRIVING AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND TRIED TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD DRIVE IN REVERSE AND IT DID. OBVIOUSLY I COULD NOT DRIVE BACK HOME IN REVERSE. I WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES (I HADN'T MADE IT FAR FROM HOME), TURNED THE CAR OFF, BACK ON AND DROVE BACK HOME. THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS STRUGGLING TO GO INTO GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

DASH DEVELOPED DUAL CRACKS THAT ALIGN WITH AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND WIDE ENOUGH TO VISUALLY SEE THE AIRBAG FRAMING COMPONENTS. CONCERNED WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND SAFETY OF AIRBAG SYSTEM, POTENTIAL FOR DEPLOYING AND HARMING PASSENGERS INCLUDING MY TEENAGE CHILDREN. AFTER INVESTIGATING, THESE CRACKS CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND TOTAL DASH REPLACEMENT IS THE ONLY SAFE ALTERNATIVE. CRACKS DEVELOPED ON THEIR OWN AND STEADILY LENGTHENED TO OUTLINE BOTH SIDES OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. MT ACURA IS A ONE OWNER, NEVER BEEN WRECKED, GARAGE KEPT EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING FURTHER THAT A REPLACEMENT DASH TO BE INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER AT THIS TIME DUE TO MY MAJOR CONCERN FOR ANY PASSENGERS SAFETY. AIRBAGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY SO NO NEED TO HAVE A AN EXPOSED AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE UNATTENDED. I WOULD LIKE RESOLUTION ASAP FROM MANUFACTURER.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK IN IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED AND THE SCORING IS FOR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. HAS SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN A GARAGE. ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT AND IS DETAILED TWICE A YEAR. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. I AM CONCERNED THAT BESIDES BEING A HORRIBLE COSMETIC DEFECT THAT IT ACTUALLY CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. A SIMPLE SEARCH ONLINE WILL SHOW YOU THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND MUST BE A DEFECT THAT ACURA SHOULD REPAIR OR REPLACE.

THR DASH HAS DEVELOP THIN CRACKS ON OR NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SUCH THAT INJURY COULD RESULT FROM SHARP EDGES HITTING PASSENGER UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CRACKS WERE NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACCIDENT OR IMPACT. BASED UPON INTERNET SEARCHES, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH ACURAS. THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND IS ALWAYS GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. WINDSHIELD SCREENING IS USED WHEN PARKING IN THE SUN.

PASSENGER SIDE DASH LEFT EDGE OF AIRBAG IS CRACKED FROM THE FRONT TO THE WINDSHIELD. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM, ACURA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. DO NOT WANT PARTS OF DASH TO INJURE SOMEONE IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG GOES OFF AS THE CRACK GOES BELOW THE AIRBAG TOWARDS THE PASSENGERS.

DASH HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY AROUND PASSENGER SIDE DASH AIR BAG, WHICH , IN MY BELIEF, WILL EFFECT DEPLOYMENT. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. I NOTICED THE FIRST CRACK ONE MORNING WHEN I TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ACURA SERVICE DEPT TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PROVIDE $200 ON AN $2000 BILL TO REPLACE THE DASH.

VEHICLE AIRBAG MAY BE COMPROMISED. DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN CRACKING ACROSS PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA. TWO LARGE CRACKS RUNNING FROM FRONT TO BACK OF DASHBOARD. AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR PASSENGER SAFETY SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND MILEAGE IS ONLY 70K. THIS HAS TO BE A VEHICLE DEFECT.

DASH AROUND PASS AIRBAG INDENTION IS CRACKING BADLY FROM AIRBAG TO WINDSHIELD AND DOWN TO GLOVEBOX. OVERNIGHT IT APPEARED WHILE PARKED. I FEEL AS IF I WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED PIECES OF DASH COULD FLY OUT AND HURT SOMEONE. CAR IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ACURA SAYS THEY WILL FIX FOR $2000. SEEMS ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED . HAVE A COUPLE FRIENDS WITH SAME CARE ALL DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING

BEGINNING IN MAY 2016, THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2016 ACURA TL BEGAN TO CRACK. THE CRACK PROPAGATES ALONG THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BREAKAWAY SEAM LOCATED ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACKING OCCURS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS IS LOCATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS IN THE EVENT OF A SUBSTANTIAL COLLISION. MY CONCERN IS THAT DUST, DEBRIS AND POSSIBLY CONDENSATION OR LIQUID CAN DROP INTO THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT THEREBY NEGATIVELY EFFECTING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG OR RENDERING THE AIR BAG INOPERABLE. THE CRACKING IS CONTINUING TO PROPAGATE ALONG THE SEAM OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. EVENTUALLY, THE ENTIRE AIR BAG COULD BE COMPLETELY EXPOSED.

DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR NO REASON WHEN I WAS IN PARKING LOT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME IN THE CAR, THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE DASHBOARD NOT PROTECTING IT ACCORDINGLY, MY CAR IS ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE AND VERY WELL TAKING CAR OF, THIS IS A LUXURY CAR AND EXPENSIVE, ACURA SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE IN REPLACING DASHBOARD TO AVOID POSSIBLE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. I HOPE YOU GUYS REALLY CONSIDER THIS CLAIM BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE WITH SO MANY ACURA TL OWNERS.
