THE AIRBAG SEAT BELT SENSOR OR LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME IT'S COMMON FOR THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES OF 2004 TO 2008. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED, I WAS TOLD IT WASNT UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, BUT CLEARLY ON THE WEBSITE IT SAYS UNDER 15 YEARS IT SHOULD BE COVERED. I WANTED TO CLEAR THIS UP WITH ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $600 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ALMOST $2000 FOR REINSTALLING AN AIRBAG AND SENSOR, WHICH I SAW ONLINE IT'S A RECALL BUT MY CARS VIN SAYS I DONT HAVE A RECALL. I ALREADY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THRU MY MECHANIC AND HAVE ALL THE CODES THAT STATES IT IS A RECALL WHAT CAN I DO? I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND THE AIRBAG SEAT BELT SENSOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
MY 2005 ACURA TL HAS LOST POWER AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE BATTERY ALSO COMPLETELY DRAINS AFTER THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A DAY OR TWO. I JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR TESTED AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN TIMES BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. MY ISSUES SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO THE FUSE BOX RECALL BUT MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL APPARENTLY.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
MY 2005 ACURA TL HAS BEEN KEPT IN TOP CONDITION AND CARE. LAST YEAR (2018) THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO SPLIT ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION. THE CRACK SPREAD FROM THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. NOW I GET THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ANYTIME SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT... INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE FIX WILL COST OVER $3500.00. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE IN GREAT CONDITION IS PROBABLY ONLY BLUE BOOK PRICED AROUND $4,500.00? SHOULDN'T HONDA/ACURA HAVE SOME FINANCIAL SKIN IN THIS GAME? IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT MY ACURA IS NOT PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!

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.

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.

MY DASHBOARD HAS SO MANY CRACKS IN IT WHICH ARE NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I HAVE TRIED RESOLVING THIS IN THE PAST AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I KEPT A SHADE OVER MY DASHBOARD AND IT WAS GARAGE KEPT AND IT STILL CRACKED. CRACKS ARE EVERYWHERE ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE AIRBAGS. A CRACKED DASH AT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT POINT CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. WOULD LIKE ACURA TO LIST AS A RECALL AND COVER COST.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY ACURA 2005 TL IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS, MOST NOTABLY AROUND WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS OF ACURAS YEARS 2004 AND 2005. THE CRACKS SEEM TO BE ALL VERY SIMILAR LOCATIONS ON THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT 1) THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY 2) THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY INCORRECTLY 3) UPON DEPLOYMENT, THE DAMAGED DASH WILL CAUSE FURTHER HARM TO THE PASSENGER

MY ACURA 2005 TL HAS SEVERAL CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE FILED PREVIOUSLY, THIS FILING IS ANOTHER CONCERN THAT CAN BE ADDED TO THE ONES I JUST SUBMITTED REGARDING THE CRACKED DASHBOARD - WILL THE DAMAGED DASHBOARD BREAK APART EASILY AND CAUSE INJURY DURING A MINOR ACCIDENT? THIS CONCERN IS ADDITIONAL TO THE AIRBAG CONCERNS I ARTICULATED IN MY PREVIOUS SUBMISSION.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD IN OUR ACURA SUDDENLY HAD A CRACK IN IT FROM FRONT TO BACK ON ONE SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME SIZE OF CRACK APPEARED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS CAR ONLY HAS A BIT OVER 40,000 MILES ON IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005 AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND WELL CARED FOR. WE ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE THE CRACKS ARE ON EACH SIDE OF THE AIRBAG, BECAUSE THEY APPEARED SO SUDDENLY, AND BECAUSE THIS BRAND IS PART OF THE TAKETA AIRBAG RECALL ALTHOUGH THIS MODEL YEAR WAS NOT RECALLED. WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AFTER BY SHEER ACCIDENT WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE IN THIS BRAND AND MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS CAR. ANOTHER THING WHICH CONCERNS US IS THAT THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED AND HAS ALWAYS "LIVED" IN FL. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. THE CRACKS APPEARED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.
