ACURA TL 2004 CRACKED DASHBOARD OVER AIR BAG AND MULTIPLE OTHER SPOTS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG. I WAS INFORMED BY A DASH BOARD REPAIR MAN THAT HE COULD NOT FIXES THE CRACKS OVER THE AIR BAG. HE STATE IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE FOR HIM OR IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. ACURA SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE DASH BOARD ON THE 04 ACURA TL'S. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A FACEBOOK SITE WHERE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAVE SIGNED UP. I CALL ACURA ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THERE PROBLEM OR FAULT. I COULD PAY TO GET IF FIXED FOR OVER $2,000.00. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS NO PROOF THAT IT COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. *TR

2004 ACURA TL - DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND STILL SPREADING. CAR HAS LESS THAN 47K MILES. NOTICED FIRST CRACK EARLIER IN 2010 NEAR THE CENTER SPEAKER ON THE DASH. IT SPREAD ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THEN ACROSS AND OVER THE GAUGES. JUST NOTICED ANOTHER CRACK 2 DAYS AGO, BUT THIS TIME ITS ON THE DASH RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE EXACT SAME PLACES. THOUGHT ABOUT HAVING THE CRACKS SEALED AT AN UPHOLSTERY PLACE AND THEN COVERING THE DASH WITH A COVER BECAUSE ITS SO UNSIGHTLY, BUT CALLED THE LOCAL ACURA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE IT MIGHT AFFECT HOW THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN A CRASH. SO FAR THEIR SOLUTION IS TO BRING IT IN AND SPEAK TO A FACTORY REP. THEY MAY BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT AT A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST, BUT IT WILL STILL BE EXPENSIVE. IT IS AN OBVIOUS AND KNOWN DEFECT, BUT WHEN I CALLED ACURA CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CRACKS THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE... *TR

I OWN A 2004 ACURA TL. CAR IS NOW APPROXIMATELY 6 YEARS YOUNG, AND HAS DEVELOPED TWO UNSIGHTLY CRACKS IN THE FACTORY VINYL DASH PAD; ONE SMALL (NEAR THE CENTER SPEAKER), AND ONE LARGE! THE LARGE CRACK HAS DEVELOPED, IT APPEARS, DIRECTLY ON THE SEAM WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY (I ASSUME BECAUSE THE VINYL MATERIAL IS MUCH THINNER HERE THAN ELSEWHERE ON THE DASH), AND I AM AFRAID THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN ALLOWING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY PROPERLY UPON FRONTAL IMPACT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SIX-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE, MUCH LESS A LUXURY VEHILCLE SUCH AS THIS ACURA. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL ISSUES WITH THEIR TL DASH, AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL FROM ACURA. I TRUST THIS CAR TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, BUT AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WORKMANSHIP AND QUALITY OF THIS, MY SEVENTH (7TH), HONDA/ACURA VEHICLE. I MIGHT UNDERSTAND A CRACKED DASHBOARD IF THE CAR WERE 20 YEARS OLD OR MORE, BUT NOT FROM A VEHICLE ONLY SIX YEARS YOUNG! *TR

ACURA TL 2004 - THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG WHICH RUNS FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER AND SERVICE CENTER AND DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE IT SINCE THERE WAS NO FORMAL RECALL ISSUED BY ACURA AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS RELATED TO THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG DUE TO THIS SITUATION. *TR
