2008 Acura Tl

I HAVE ALREADY PAID ACURA TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD ONCE DUE TO THE AIRBAG PUSHING UP ON DASH AND CRACKING IT. I NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN, THE DASH HAS CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE IN PERFECT RECTANGLE WHERE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT DEPLOYMENT IS LIKLEY/IMMINENET AND I AM URGING NHTSA TO REQUIRE ACURA TO REPLACE AIRBAGE AND DASH.

I HIT A POTHOLE ON THE FRONT, DRIVERS SIDE TIRE AND THE AIRBAGS ON THE SIDE PASSENGERS SIDE AND SEAT DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT INFLATE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE INFLATED IN THAT INSTANCE EITHER AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED AT ALL. WITH THEM NOW BEING DEPLOYED AND NO USE IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT, I AM NO LONGER SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 ACURA TL HAVE EXPLODED ON MY SEATS, ROOF, AND SIDE AIRBAGS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONDED TO. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND MY SAFETY IS BEING JEOPARDIZED EVERYDAY ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS FOR THE LAST DECADE OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2008 TL HAVE REPORTED ON THE ACURA FORUMS WHAT I HAVE, YET FOR SOME REASON, THE RECALLS ARE EXCLUDING THIS MODEL. WHY, WHY WHY????? DOES IT TAKE ANOTHER DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO RECOGNIZE THIS???? THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURED ON AN EXITING ACCESS ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL- PASSENGER ROOF, SEAT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN I HIT A CURB ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HOW CAN THIS BE? I HAVE A 2008 ACURA TL. IT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. UPON THE ABOVE MENTIONED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER FRAME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD SEPARATE WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THE DAMAGE IS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND NOT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHERE THE IMPACT WAS. CURRENTLY I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE IF THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT NOR CAN I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. THIS AIRBAG RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE SOME 2008 MODELS THAT ARE NOT SHOWING AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE A 2008 ACURA TL-S, IT IS GARAGED AT NIGHT AND I DO MY BEST TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THE OTHER DAY I DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS RUNNING FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE GLOVEBOX, ALONG THE EDGES OF THE AIRBAG. I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM UNTIL I GOT HOME LAST NIGHT, BUT THEY ARE QUITE NOTICEABLE. I HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS O THIS HAPPENING TO ACURA'S AND I AM WONDERING WHY AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WILL THIS IMPACT THE AIRBAG OPERATIONS AND MAYBE IMPACT WAS A BAD CHOICE OF WORDS.

A LARGE CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH PANEL COVERING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FEAR THIS WILL GET IN THE WAY OF DEPLOYING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND/OR POTENTIALLY GENERATE DANGEROUS SHARDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WHEN I VISITED THE ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT EARLIER TODAY, BUT THEY HAVE SO FAR REFUSED TO ADVISE ME ON A SUITABLE COURSE OF ACTION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OFF, WITH MOST OF THE DRIVING BEING LIMITED TO SURFACE STREETS AND ALWAYS BEING GARAGED OVERNIGHT.

SEPT 2016 WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT REMAINING ON CONSTANTLY. SEAT BELT BUCKLE UNDER RECALL, HAD THAT REPLACED'THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. JULY 2017 NOW THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS A DEEP STRAIGHT CRACK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER ACURA TL HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE AIRBAG IS IN THAT DASHBOARD RIGHT WHERE THE CRACK IS. ACURA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT REPAIR, REPLACE OR RECALL. I HAVE KEPT THE CAR IMMACULATE, I HAVE REGULAR SERVICE AND A HONDA/ACURA REPAIR SHOP. I UNDERSTAND ACURA TL SPECIFICALLY 2008 HAS THIS PROBLEM AROUND THE COUNTRY IN A VARIETY OF CLIMATES, AND WHETHER THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED OR NOT. IT'S A DESIGN FLAW. IT IS ENDANGERING MY PASSENGER. ALSO, IF YOU FIND A JUNK PART AND REPLACE THE DASH, APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT DASH WILL CRACK ALSO AND THE SRS LIGHT WILL BE ON AND THE AIRBAG COMPROMISED AGAIN.
