TAKTATA RECALL - HAVE A 2005 ACURA TL THAT HAS BEEN PARKED WINTERS AND INSIDE A GARAGE. PAMPERED, POLISHED, ACURA SERVICE ALWAYS. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED MY DANG DASHBOARD HAS THE CRACK THAT EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT. I CANT BELIEVE THAT A CAR OF THIS PRICE IS HAVING A DASHBOARD CRACK. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER 2000 TO FIX IT. MY OTHER CAR IS NEARLY 20 YEARS OLD AND NOT ONE BLEMISH OR CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD AND IT TOO IS A HONDA PRODUCT. C'MON WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES AROUND THE AIRBAG DO THE RIGHT THING ACURA AND GOOD WILL FIX THIS THING OR YOU WILL LOSE NOT ONLY ME BUT THE OTHER 4 FAMILY MEMBERS I GOT TURNED ONTO HONDA VEHICLES.

I WAS PARKED IN AN AUTOMATIC CARWASH WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG STARTED DRIPPING WATER ON ME. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE MY AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED CRAZY ELECTRICAL ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY THAT ARE NOT SAFE AND I WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO IF THAT IS NEEDED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 ACURA TL HAVE EXPLODED ON MY SEATS, ROOF, AND SIDE AIRBAGS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONDED TO. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND MY SAFETY IS BEING JEOPARDIZED EVERYDAY ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS FOR THE LAST DECADE OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2008 TL HAVE REPORTED ON THE ACURA FORUMS WHAT I HAVE, YET FOR SOME REASON, THE RECALLS ARE EXCLUDING THIS MODEL. WHY, WHY WHY????? DOES IT TAKE ANOTHER DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO RECOGNIZE THIS???? THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURED ON AN EXITING ACCESS ROAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW 12 YEARS AGO. BATTERY ALWAYS DRAINS IF NOT DRIVEN IN 7 DAYS OR SO. CONSTANT PROBLEM THROUGH 4 BATTERIES. JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. CAR IS GARAGED. DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR 10 DAYS. DEAD BATTERY AGAIN. BLOGS TELL ME THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH 2004-2008 ACURA TL SEDAN 6-CYL. BLOGS SAY IT IS THE HANDS FREE LINK OF BLUETOOTH THAT IS A CHRONIC DRAIN WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS RUNNING. SO I PARK IT IN AIRPORT PARKING, TAKE A TRIP, COME BACK AT MIDNIGHT, A WOMAN IN LONG-TERM AIRPORT PARKING, TOTALLY UNSAFE FOR ME, WAITING FOR HELP TO JUMP THE CAR. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NOT SAFE. YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING! NEXT BLOCK SAYS "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" AND ASKS FOR A SPECIFIC DATE. I WILL USE TODAY' S DATE, BUT IT HAPPENS ANYTIME I DON'T DRIVE IT FOR 7 DAYS OR SO. THE BLOGGERS ALL HAVE THE SAME IDENTICAL SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CHRONIC.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FAILUER OF THE FRONT ALUMINUM FRAME WAS OBSERVED ON MY CAR DURING A STATE INSPECTION BY AN OBSERVANT TECHNICIAN. THE COMPLIANCE BUSHING IN THE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY FAILS WITHOUT GIVING THE DRIVER AN AUDIBLE OR DRIVING SIGNAL. THIS CREATES METAL ON METAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE STRUT AND ALUMINUM FRAME - WEARNIG THRU THE ALUMINUM FRAME ARM EXTENSION WHICH SUPPORTS THE METAL ROD TO THE WHEEL. THE ALUMINUM FRAME WILL EVENTALLY FAIL CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THIS WOULD BE LIFE THREATENING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED TO MITIGATE THIS RISK.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I ENTERED MY VEHICLE YESTERDAY MORING AN NOTICED THREE TWO LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE DASHBOARD STARTING AT THE WINSHIELD MOVING TOWARD THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I DID NOT NOTICE THE CRACKS WHEN CLEANING MY CAR LAST WEEK = SUDDEN EVENT OCCURANCE. A GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES MANY 2004 TO 2008 ACURA TL'S EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THESE CRACKS EFFECTING THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT PROCESS AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF PASSENGER PROTECTION/SAFETY DURING A COLLOSION. GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS IMPLY THESE CRACKS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD DUE TO A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CAN YOU HELP US?

DASH HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY, DISABLING AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE FACT THAT THIS DASHBOARD MATERIAL HAS CRACKED ALL OVER HAS COMPROMISED THE ABILITY TO DEPLOY AIR BAGS SAFELY. VERIFIED BY MECHANIC. NOW THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IF I HAVE A FRONT END COLLISION, I MIGHT DIE.
