2006 Acura Tl

MY DAUGHTER WAS PROCEEDING UP RAMP TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE AND SHE HIT A POTHOLE THE TIRE DEFLATED LATER DOWN THE ROAD. THEN AFTER 30 MINUTES THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN PASSENGER SEAT AND UP RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN. I TOOK IT TO ACURA THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT. I FOUND IT INTERESTING BECAUSE A TRUCK HAD BACKED OVER HER THE PRIOR YR AND DID OVER 4000.00 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGED. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK THE ACURA BODY SHOP HAD CHARGED US FOR A RADIATOR REPLACEMENT WHICH THEY DID NOT DO , THEY HAD LEFT THE WIRING TO THE BLUETOOTH AND OTHER THINGS UNPLUGGED. THE AC WASN'T WORKING. I ENDED UP TAKING IT BACK 4 TIMES. I GUESS MY THING IS I FEEL THAT EITHER IN LIGHT OF THE NEW ACCUSATIONS WITH THE AIRBAGS, WAS THE AIRBAGS FAULTY, OR WAS THIS NEGLIGENCE ON THE AUTO BODY SHOP. I HAVE PURCHASED 3 ACURAS FROM THIS DEALER AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE IN THE LAST 3 YRS WITH THEM. I WILL NO LONGER BE GOING TO THEM BECAUSE NOW THE SAME CAR WHERE I TOOK THE VERY NEXT DAY TO FIX WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF ALMOST 5000.00 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I PURCHASED 4 NEW MICHELINS AND HAD THEM ROTATE AND BALANCE AND HAVE HAD THEM DO THIS 3 TIMES SINCE ONLY TO FIND OUT THE WHOLE TIME THAT MY RIM WAS CRACKED AND THIS WHY AIR WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE TIRE WHICH I QUESTIONED EACH TIME I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND ONLY WHEN I INSISTED ON THEM CHECKING THE RIM OVER AGAIN IN FRONT OF ME, WOW NOW THERE IS A CRACKED RIM AND THAT HAS BEEN THE REASON. I FEEL IN MY HEART THIS IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON THE TURNER TURNPIKE IN OKLAHOMA. NOT A HOT DAY NOR COLD. I HEARD A POP OF SORTS AND WASN'T SURE JUST YET WHERE IT CAME FROM. BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME FROM THE DASH. I EVENTUALLY SEE A SMALL CRACK AROUND MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WELL IN LESS THAN A MONTH IT WAS GONE FROM FRONT OF THE DASH (NEAR THE WINDSHIELD) TO THE BACK. NOW THE DASH LOOKS LIKE 2 SEPARATE PIECES. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU PRY UP A LITTLE THE DASH WHERE IT IS CRACKED YOU CAN SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE AIRBAG. I FEAR THIS MAY CAUSE A FAILED OR IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT I THE EVENT IF A ACCIDENT. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE FOR 2006 ACURA TL DASHBOARD CRACK. YOU WILL COME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF PICTURES AND COMPLAINTS WHERE THE CRACK HAS ALWAYS FORMED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I FEEL THIS WOULD CAUSE THAT PIECE TO FLY AT THE PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IF YOU CALL ACURA THEY DENY AN ISSUE OR DEFECT AND SOMETIMES EVEN SAY ITS WEATHER RELATED. WHICH CAN'T BE THE CASE CONSIDERING IT'S BEEN HAPPENING I'M THE EXACT SAME SPOT FOR EVERYONE. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG(OUTLINE OF THE AIRBAG STARTED CRACKING). AFTER ABOUT A WEEK THE CRACK GREW ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD AND NOW I HAVE 2 CRACKS ABOUT A FOOT LONG EACH PERPENDICULAR TO EACH OTHER. ALSO ANOTHER CRACK CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD APPEARED ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THAT CRACK IS ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF THE CRACKS BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE ON ACURA TL 2006 MODEL I HAVE A CRACK IN THE DASH. I READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I AM GONNA HAVE TO HIRE A LAWYER CAUSE NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE ACURA'S. THE DEALERSHIP SAID 2000. IT WASN'T EVEN MY FAULT. NOW IF SOMEONE DIES IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM SUING. I DONE TWITTERED THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IT IS NOT COVERED. HOW CAN YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

OUR HANDS FREE LINK UNIT THAT PAIRS WITH YOUR CELL PHONE BECAME DEFECTIVE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT HEATS UP AT NIGHT ALL BY ITSELF AND GETS VERY HOT MAKING ME LEERY ABOUT IT CAUSING A FIRE. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR AND BEING UNABLE TO USE THE HANDS FREE TO SPEAK ON THE PHONE IS VERY DANGEROUS. ADDITIONALLY, IT HAS RUINED TWO BATTERIES BEFORE WE COULD IDENTIFY WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS BADLY CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. WE ARE VERY AFRAID THAT THIS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS DEPLOYMENT WHEN NEEDED OR EVEN AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT WHEN NOT NEEDED. NEITHER OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE HAPPENING ON ANY CAR MUCH LESS A SEMI-LUXURY CAR SUCH AS ACURA. *TR
