2005 Acura Tsx

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. ON OR ABOUT MAY 23, 2014, I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO DEVON ACURA OF NORWALK, LOCATED IN NORWALK, CT AND WAS ADVISED THAT HAVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING MEANS THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. GIVEN THE SAFETY ISSUE, I IMMEDIATELY REQUESTED THAT ACURA ADDRESS ISSUE, BUT THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE ACURA HAS NOT ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CONSEQUENTLY, I FILED A COMPLAINT LETTER WITH ACURA REQUESTING THAT THE COMPANY ADDRESS THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING MY VEHICLE. AND TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT, ACURA'S RESPONSE TO MY VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THEY ARE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING MY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE ABOVE DATE (OR CLOSE TO THE ABOVE DATE) A RED LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS GLARING. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SEAT BELT LIGHT. MY SON INFORMED ME THE RED LIGHT HAPPENED TO BE THE LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG. I BEGAN WATCHING FOR THE RED LIGHT TO COME ON AGAIN. IT CONSISTENTLY CAME ON. I CAN'T GUARANTEE THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY OBSERVED THE LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING TO BE TRUE SINCE I STARTED WATCHING. I DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT DOES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. WHEN I START THE CAR I SIT FOR A WHILE TO SEE IF ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF STARTING THE CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OUT BUT COMES BACK ON WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. CONSISTENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON UNTIL THE IGNITION IS IN THE OFF POSITION (THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF). MY DAD EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS TRUCK (NOT AN ACURA PRODUCT). HE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE STARTING THE TRUCK ONE DAY THE AIRBAG RELEASED ON ITS OWN AS HE STARTED. THE ABOVE HAS ME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND THE MORE I READ AND HEAR ABOUT RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS I WONDER WHY THE ACURA TSX ISN'T LISTED WITH HONDA AND ACURA TL. I PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHEN THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND I HEADED TO A SCHEDULED OR PLANNED APPOINTMENT. ACURA TSX ALSO NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON OTHER THAN A DEFECT. PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY RECALL TSX AND IF THIS AUTOMOBILE WILL BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF OTHER AIRBAG RECALLS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THEN 10-15 SECONDS LATER THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I DID NOT HAVE ANY TIRE BLOWOUTS OR HIT ANY OBJECTS IN THE STREET. THERE WERE NO POT HOLES OR MAN HOLES IN THE STREET WHERE MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY TWO YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT AND INHALED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF THE AIRBAG SMOKE AND WAS CHOKING WHICH CAUSED HIM TO VOMIT. HIS PARENTS WILL BE TAKING HIM TO HIS PEDIATRICIAN ON DECEMBER 23, 2013. THE DRIVER AIRBAG HIT ME DIRECTLY IN THE FACE WHICH CAUSED SWELLING AROUND MY NOSE, EYES AND UPPER LIP AREA. I FELT LIGHT HEADED AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THE NEXT DAY. I'VE ALSO HAD A SLIGHT HEADACHE SINCE THE INCIDENT ON DECEMBER 21, 2013. I'VE CONTACTED ACURA CORPORATE OFFICE AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACURA'S NEGLIGENCE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR
