STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD ON LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. OVER TIME, THE CRACK HAS GROWN AND ANOTHER CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT SIDE ALONG THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. BOTH CRACKS ARE OF EQUAL LENGTH RUNNING FROM THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD DOWN PAST THE AIRBAG. NOW THERE ARE MORE THAN 6 CRACKS ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND THEY ARE PROGRESSING IN ALL DIRECTIONS EVERYDAY. RAPID PROGRESSION OF THESE CRACKS (SPECIALLY THE ONES AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA) MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR. IF THE DASHBOARD IS NOT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, THIS AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY PRE MATURELY AND CAUSE SERIOUS HARM AND/OR INJURY AND/OR DEATH OF MY FAMILY MEMBER. THIS DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE AND ACURA/DEALER NEEDS TO PAY FOR THE PART TO BE FIXED AND/OR REPLACED. *TR

THE DASH BOARD IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CRACK OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND IT HAS ME CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY TOWARDS THE PASSENGER AND MAY DEPLOY UPWARDS TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD INSTEAD AND NOT PROTECT THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL CARS AND ACURA REFUSES TO FIX THIS DEFECT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE DUE TO THIS DEFECT BEFORE ACURA ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A DEFECT AND A PROBLEM? *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS LEAVING WORK AT ABOUT 7PM. I NOTICED IT TOOK THE TRANSMISSION AN EXTRA FEW SECONDS TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE BUT IT WAS COLD SO I LET IT WARM UP AND THINGS SEEMED TO BE FINE. AS I STARTED TO GET ON TO I-93 I NOTICED MY TACHOMETER SPIKE TO ABOUT 4K RPM. I COULDN'T CATCH 3RD GEAR AND THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO VEER AROUND ME AS I STARTED SLOWING DOWN. AFTER I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ON RAMP FOR A MINUTE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE SO I HEADED HOME SLOWLY IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND IT SLIPPED AT ABOUT 35 AGAIN. I'VE ALWAYS FELT COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR, BUT THIS MADE ME SECOND GUESS BUYING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT AND ON A TRANSMISSION WITH LESS THAN 125K THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I PURCHASED IT IN 2013 FROM MY UNCLE AND PUT LESS THAN 10K ON THE ODOMETER. HE HAD PURCHASED IT IN 2008 CERTIFIED FROM AN ACURA DEALER. NEITHER OF US WERE AWARE OF THE RECALL ON THOSE MODELS OF HONDAS AND I WOULD THINK THE DEALERSHIP WOULD'VE TAKEN CARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR
