BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY AND REDUCES STOPPING POWER DUE TO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE VSA MODULATOR. (2004-06). I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AFTER NOTICING MY BREAKS WERE SOFT AND LESS EFFECTIVE OVER THE PAST FEW TIMES I DROVE. THEY WANT TO CHARGE 2.6K TO REPAIR THE MODULE, DESPITE THEM CLEARLY HAVING ISSUES IN THE PAST. I'M HOPING YOU WILL ISSUE A RECALL SO WE CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE FEW CAN AFFORD.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GROW LARGER IN SIZE. THE CRACK IS RUNNING RIGHT ALONG WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS LOCATED IN THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS COMPROMISING THE THE ABILITY OF THE AIRBAG TO NOT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY. I AM NERVOUS TO ALLOW ANYONE RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAR IS GARAGE KEPT - IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE INITIALLY RAN INTO AN ISSUE WHERE IT WOULDN'T START APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO IN 2015. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL DRAIN ON THE CAR; HOWEVER, STILL NO RECALL FROM HONDA. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR SERVICES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHOPS & HAVE SPENT MONEY REPLACING BATTERIES AS WELL AS OTHER COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRICAL, THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO PERSIST AND THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE IT WON'T START.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DASHBOARD HAS TWO LONG VERTICAL CRACKS DIRECTLY OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS NOTED BY THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RECEIVED. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT OVER 7 YEARS. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT TO CAUSE THE CRACKING. IT IS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE. ACURA DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE DESPITE A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS. MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO FEAR FOR HER SAFETY AND POSSIBLE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

A LARGE CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH PANEL COVERING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FEAR THIS WILL GET IN THE WAY OF DEPLOYING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND/OR POTENTIALLY GENERATE DANGEROUS SHARDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WHEN I VISITED THE ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER TODAY, BUT THEY HAVE SO FAR REFUSED TO ADVISE ME ON A SUITABLE COURSE OF ACTION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OFF, WITH MOST OF THE DRIVING BEING LIMITED TO SURFACE STREETS AND ALWAYS BEING GARAGED OVERNIGHT.

SEPT 2016 WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT REMAINING ON CONSTANTLY. SEAT BELT BUCKLE UNDER RECALL, HAD THAT REPLACED'THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. JULY 2017 NOW THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS A DEEP STRAIGHT CRACK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER ACURA TL HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE AIRBAG IS IN THAT DASHBOARD RIGHT WHERE THE CRACK IS. ACURA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT REPAIR, REPLACE OR RECALL. I HAVE KEPT THE CAR IMMACULATE, I HAVE REGULAR SERVICE AND A HONDA/ACURA REPAIR SHOP. I UNDERSTAND ACURA TL SPECIFICALLY 2008 HAS THIS PROBLEM AROUND THE COUNTRY IN A VARIETY OF CLIMATES, AND WHETHER THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED OR NOT. IT'S A DESIGN FLAW. IT IS ENDANGERING MY PASSENGER. ALSO, IF YOU FIND A JUNK PART AND REPLACE THE DASH, APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT DASH WILL CRACK ALSO AND THE SRS LIGHT WILL BE ON AND THE AIRBAG COMPROMISED AGAIN.
