2008 Acura Tl

CRACK DEVELOPED ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION. THIS PRESENTS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD BE FATAL. ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW THAT OWNS THIS THIRD GENERATION ACURA TL HAS THIS CRACK PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

3 ISSUES 1) TWO VERTICAL CRACKS OVERNIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE DASH AT AIR BAG LOCATION-HORIZONTAL CRACK FORMING-FEAR OF AIRBAG DEPLOYING WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO WRECK-SHOULD BE RECALL-I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE FOR FEAR OR ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT 2)BLUETOOTH MODULE FAILURE-TWO BATTERIES AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED-NOW HAVE MODULE DISCONNECTED-SAFETY ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE HFL WHILE DRIVING 3)SINCE BUYING CAR IN 2008, COMPLAINED ABOUT DRIVERS DOOR CLOSING BACK ON MY LEG WHEN I OPEN IT-HAVE AVOIDED INJURIES SO FAR-AS OTHERS STATED, I HAVE TO KICK DOOR OPEN OR HOLD FOOT ON IT WHEN EXITING VEHICLE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ MANY 2008 TL OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES - WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR NHTSA TO FORCE ACURA/HONDA TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES? I DONT HAVE $2000 TO REPLACE A DASH THAT I CAUSED NO PART IN THE FAILURE OF. IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS ON ITS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT.

DASHBOARD ON 2008 ACURA TL IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURES OF ACURA CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODELS.THIS DEFECT COULD EFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG DUE TO THE FACT THIS AREA IS NOW BEING EXPOSED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS. PLEASE SEE PHOTO ATTACHED BELOW.

6/16/15 I NOTICED A STRAIGHT LINE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARRD. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS KEPT AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. I HAVE READ OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND WANTED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON ANY OF THE HONDA'S I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE PAST 30 YEARS, ALL OF WHICH WERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE.

AS MY CAR SAT IN A PARKING GARAGE, NOT BEING DRIVEN, MY DASHBOARD DEVELOPED TWO HUGE AND DEEP CRACKS RIGHT ON TOP OF WHERE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. I CALLED ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ANYWHERE ON MY VEHICLE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THE CRACKS ARE RIGHT ON TOP OF MY AIRBAG AND DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS COULD AFFECT THE POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IF NEEDED.

I BOUGHT A 2008 ACURA TL FROM WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING IT I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH WHERE THE AIR BAG IS. CALLED ACURA THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT BUY A NEW ONE REALLY. I SEE THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN HERE THAT I HAVE, SO IT'S NOTHING WE HAVE DONE TO THE DASH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE DASH. ALSO AT 55,000 MILES MY BLUETOOTH HAS GONE OUT AS WELL. AGAIN NO HELP BUY A NEW ONE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS THANK YOU *TR

12" VERTICAL CRACK ON PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD, FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME NATURE ON THE INTERNET AND ONE HERE, HERE IS THE COMPLAINT FOUND HERE: MY 2008 TL DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK IN AUGUST OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA. NOW IN SEPTEMBER THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 LENGTHY CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE DASHBOARD. ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN FL. I PARK IN A COVERED GARAGE EVERY DAY FOR WORK FROM 10 AM TO 6:30 PM. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2001 TL AND NEVER HAD THE DASH CRACK IN THE 7 YEARS OWNED. I FEEL THAT THE CRACKING DASHBOARD IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED BY ACURA. *TR
