AIR BAGS
REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 25 MPH AND MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. I SUFFERED A WHIPLASH AS A RESULT. THE COLLISION WAS HEAD ON AND I FEEL MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. ACURA SAYS THE CAR BEHAVED THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT I FEEL THAT EXPLANATION IS INSUFFICIENT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO EXPERTS IN THE AREA AS WELL AND THEY FEEL LIKE ME THAT THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
I OWN A 2004 ACURA TSX WITH 25,000 MILES. BEGINNING LAST MONTH, MY DRIVER SEAT BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD WHILE BRAKING, OR ACCELERATING. I FEEL IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR A DRIVER SEAT TO MOVE AT ALL DURING DRIVING.*AK I CONTACTED THE ACURA DEALERSHIP WHO INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AND INDIATED THE SEAT MOVEMENT WAS NORMAL. I SUBSEQUENTLY CONTACTED ACURA CLIENT SERVICES, AND THEY TOO INDICATED THE SEAT MOVEMENT AS NORMAL. NO FURTHER ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE LETTER I FAXED TO ACURA CLIENT SERVICES, AS WELL AS A COPY OF MY INVOICE FROM THE ACURA DEALERSHIP, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU REQUIRE.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
MY 2004 ACURA TSX AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A FRONT COLLISION (THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT THE REAR END OF A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF MY TSX STRUCK THE RIGHT REAR SIDE OF A LATE MODEL CHEVY IMPALA. THE IMPACT SET OFF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, BUT NOT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I WAS DRIVING AND STRUCK MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY TSX. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT CATCH ME AND AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION FROM THE INCIDENT AND FEEL THAT MY AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY. EVERY AUTO EXPERT, INCLUDING MY ACURA DEALER, SAID MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED OR MY SEAT BELT SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT ME. ACURA (THE CORPORATION) REFUSES TO EVEN INVESTIGATE THE MATTER, SAYING THAT THE CAR PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD HAVE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE AT ALL.*AK

DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTS FORWARD UPON BREAKING, AND LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED. THIS PROBLEM WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BROKEN PLASTIC PANEL IN THE SEAT BASE, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED ON THE THIRD REPAIR. SEAT SHIFT WAS FINALLY FIXED AFTER THE THIRD REPAIR. NOW, 4 WEEKS LATER, THE PROBLEM IS BACK. PLASTIC PANEL FIRST BROKE WITH SEAT SHIFT, ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE, 10/06/03. IT WAS IN REPAIR FOUR TIMES, WITH THE ENTIRE SEAT HAVING BEEN SWAPPED OUT WITH THAT OF A LOANER CAR. AT SIX MONTHS, I HAVE APPROX. 2800 MILES, AND THE SEAT SHIFT IS GETTING GRADUALLY WORSE AGAIN.*AK
