My wife was in a collision on 12/12/03 which involved another vehichle that ran a stop sign and my wife's new 2003 Acura Tl hit the vehicle at fault in the drivers side door. I have included pictures of the property damage incurred. The front airbags did not deploy. I reported this incident to the Acura dealer in fort walton beach immediately that I purchased this from and gave them a chance to test the airbags before the car was fixed. They declined and informed me they would test the airbag system once it was repaired. The case file# with the dealer was b012003-12-1601041. Everybody that I spoke with regarding this was amazed that the airbags did not depoy on a front end crash that caused $7183 dollars worth of damage. The core support of the car had to be replaced. I have heard of other Acura failures for front airbags and wanted to see if there was a defect in this particular model. The dealer was not that helpful. Mr. Kirk perks the district manager did agree to meet with me to discuss and the dealer performed an airbag test , however the auto repair shop stated to me that there was no way to accurately test the airbag system. My concern now is obviously if these airbags will deploy on any future incidents.
