CRACKED DASHBOARD. CRACKS HAVE APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD. THESE CRACKS HAVE APPEARED SUDDENLY AND NOT CAUSED BY IMPACT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AS THERE ARE SIMILAR INSTANCES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH THIS DEFECT AND NOT FOUND IN OTHER MANUFACTURER VEHICLES OF SIMILAR AGE.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER IS CRACKED. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD MY PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TO INFLATE. NOW THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, THE CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO GROW, AND POSSIBLY JEOPARDIZE THE INTEGRITY OF AIRBAG, AMONGST OTHER UNKNOWNS DASHBOARDS SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING, AND THEY SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO WITHSTAND HEAT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD.

STEERING
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 ACURA TL AND MY POWER STEERING CONSISTENTLY GOES IN AND OUT. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN A PARKING LOT. MY VEHICLE'S VIN DOESN'T SHOW THAT THE POWER STEERING RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MANY 2004-2008 ACURA TLS AFFECTS MY CAR, HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT MAY BE THE REASON MY POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY CAR INSPECTED AT BIANCHI HONDA IN ERIE, PA FOR MY ANNUAL INSPECTION AND THEY SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY POWER STEERING IS TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING HOSE ETC. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY CAR'S POWER STEERING PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED? THANK YOU. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A HAIRLINE CRACK, WHICH EXTENDED AUTOMATICALLY, WHILE PARKED - WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL COLLISION. THIS AREA IS ABOVE THE AIRBAGS AREA. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, ANOTHER CRACK APPEARED IN THE SAME AREA. CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE EITHER WHILE PARKED OR FAILURE TO DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIR-BAG HOUSING AFTER RETURNING FROM WORK. DEALER STATED IT IS MERELY COSMETIC AND WOULD COST $1500 TO REPLACE. THE CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO RUN FURTHER ON BOTH SIDES OF AIR-BAG. ALSO, CAR HAS BEEN TOWED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO START AFTER PARKED OVERNIGHT. HAD BATTERY REPLACED TWICE. FINALLY TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD HANDS-FREE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REMOVED. REMOVAL COST ME $200. REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE COST $800. ALSO, MY FUEL CAP INDICATOR HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHEN THE FUEL FALLS BELOW HALFWAY. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 9 YEARS. I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION. NOW WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING ITS VALUE HAS DECREASED IMMENSELY NOT TO MENTION COULD CAUSE THE AIR-BAG TO DEPLOY WITHOUT INCIDENT. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT HONDA/ACURA WOULD HAVE MUCH BIGGER ISSUES TO CONTEND WITH. I HAVE CONTACTED ACURA CORPORATE AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED BY THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WAS EQUALLY UNCONCERNED. THESE ARE ISSUES THAT REQUIRE RECALLS BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS.

THE DASH HAS BEGUN TO DETERIORATE/CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG HOUSING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CRACKS BEGAN FORMING WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND GARAGED. ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX THE GROWING CRACK WILL INTERFERE WITH PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR - PLEASE ADVISE.

WHILE STATIONARY, A HAIRLINE CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS THE CRACKS EXPANDED AND ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE AIRBAG, AND NOW THE DASHBOARD HAS LARGE CRACKS WITH A WIDE GAP ALONG THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE DASHBOARD. MOISTURE CAN GET IN AND DO FURTHER DAMAGE AS WELL AS CREATING THE RISK OF FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH.

MY PASSENGER SIDE DASH CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. THIS ALLOWS FOR MOISTURE TO GET INTO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT WHICH DEGRADES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. ACURA REFUSES TO REPLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAPPENED OVERNIGHT.

WELL TODAY I TOOK MY ACURA TL TYPE S FOR A CARWASH AS USUAL AND AS I WAS PARKING ON THE SHADE I NOTICE A SMALL CRACK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD AND AS I DROVE HOME AND PARK IN THE GARAGE THE CRACK HAD GOTTEN BIGGER AND NOW I'M SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT JUST POP OUT ANYTIME. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH IN A POPULAR WEBSITE CALLED ACURAZINE WHERE IT'S A COMMUNITY OF HONDAS AND ACURAS OWNERS AND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM SO MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD DO A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

STEERING
NHTSA RECALLS 12V-222 AND 08V-091 WERE ENACTED TO ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND ASSOCIATED HOSES FOR CERTAIN 2007-2008 ACURA TLS. FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED BY BOTH RECALLS. SO I HAVE QUESTIONED ACURA AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE RECALL BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER OTHER THAN TO POINT OUT THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEREFORE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER.

IN THE 4TH. OF AUGUST 2015, I BROUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ACURA TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME TO REPORT AN UNUSUAL POP-UP DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOUSES THE AIRBAG IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEATING POSITION. AFTER MY SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE DAMAGED DASHBOARD HE RETURNED TO ME AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL COST ME OVER $2000.00 (TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS) TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER REMEDIES. I ASKED HIM IF THE DAMAGE CAN BE REPAIRED WITH GLUE AND HE REPLIED THAT IF I DO THAT, THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE COMPARTMENT WILL DEPLOY. AT THAT POINT I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS CAN OF SOCKED ABOUT THE INFORMATION I JUST HARD AND AS A RESULT I AM WONDERING IF HONDA COMPANY WILL HELP TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS DAMAGE WILL CERTAINLY EFFECT THE RESALE/TRADE-IN VALUE OF MY CAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A REPLY.

MY CAR SAT AT AIRPORT FOR APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND WOULD NOT START UPON RETURN. GOT A JUMP AND WAS OK FOR ABOUT A WEEK WHEN AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS. I TOOK THE BATTERY TO THE STORE FOR A REPLACEMENT. HE TESTED THIS 2 YEAR OLD BATTERY AND IT WAS PERFECT. I WENT ON-LINE TO SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE YEARS 2004 THROUGH 2007 HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF INCIDENCES EXACTLY LIKE MINE. THE PROBLEM THAT THE ON-LINE AUDIENCE HAS FOUND IS THAT OVER TIME A PARTIAL SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE HFL (HANDS FREE LINK) MODULE APPEARS. THIS IS CLEARLY A LATENT DEFECT IN THIS MODULE. I WROTE TO ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR RESPONSE DID NOT ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. I GOT A "COOK- BOOK" RESPONSE THAT I SHOULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO REGARDING SUCH LATENT DEFECTS FOR OUT-OF-WARRANTY VEHICLES?
