MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING ON AROUND JUNE 14-16 2013. THE CAR STAYS IN THE GARAGE AND NOT OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. IT STARTED OUT WITH ONE CRACK AND LATER A SECOND CRACK APPEARED AND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WE THINK IT IS THE OUTLINE OF THE AIRBAGS OR IN THAT AREA. ALSO, THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK LOCATED ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I CALLED VANDERGRIFF ACURA AND FILED A COMPLAINT ONLINE, BUT NOT SURE WHERE TO GO. AS OF YET, THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR DASHBOARD 2004 TL ACURA, BUT I DID NOTICE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I AM AFRAID THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AND SOMEONE MAY BE HURT. THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. *TR
