My son was driving straight down the road when the driver's side air bags suddenly deployed.
2005 Acura Tl, very well maintained. Jun 2019, a crack appeared in dashboard on the right side of the passenger side airbag. Airbag dashboard light came on 3 months later and stays on. Dealer said they had never seen that before, but now I know this is a known problem. Love the car, but feel Acura needs to resolve this defect. The risk of air bag deployment is serious.
The dashboard in our Acura suddenly had a crack in it from front to back on one side of the passenger side airbag, then a few days later the same size of crack appeared on the other side of the passenger side airbag. This car only has a bit over 40,000 miles on it even though it is a 2005 and has always been garaged and well cared for. We are concerned because the cracks are on each side of the airbag, because they appeared so suddenly, and because this brand is part of the taketa airbag recall although this model year was not recalled. We feel this is a safety issue, especially after by sheer accident we discovered that there are many complaints about this same issue in this brand and model and year of this car. Another thing which concerns us is that this car was purchased and has always "lived" in FL. We are the original owners. The cracks appeared when the car was stationary.
Dash cracked around passenger side airbag, afraid of airbag coming out. Original owner ,always garge kept.
There is a crack right on the edge of the passenger side airbag in the dashboard. Acura will not help cover the cost to fix it. It appeared out of nowhere. My car only has 75,000 miles.
Only 43,300 miles and my dash produced a massive crack extending from the windshield vertically downward across the passenger side airbag today. Well maintained car with very low mileage. My concern is safety for my family. Airbag may either malfunction and not deploy or possibly deploy incorrectly in the event of an accident. Acura needs to take action immediately. Tons of complaints for this issue all over the internet.
2005 Acura Tl purchased with only 88,000 miles in above excellent (purchased from a Porsche mechanic) condition. The dash over the passenger side airbag started cracking around 100,000 miles and after reading all of the 'Acura forums' have discovered this is more than common with Acura owners around the u. S. A. Dash cracks anywhere near an airbag are more than alarming.
Driver side airbag went off while driving.
Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Acura Tl. The contact stated that the dashboard had deteriorated around the passenger's side air bag area . The dealer diagnosed that the failure was due to sun damage. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000. Ne.
Cracked dash board right over the passenger side air bag. Very unacceptable for this type of car and a huge safety concern.
A crack in the dash on the passenger side at the airbag was noticed the summer of 2012. It started out small and eventually ran the entire length of the dash. Since that day several more cracks on both sides have appeared during different times of the year. Heat causes the cracks to close making it difficult to see them and open up when the weather or interior is cooler. Yesterday the 6th crack appeared, this on the other side of the passenger side airbag. The entire airbag compartment on the passenger side is visible with both sides outlined by cracks. Heat alone is not causing this as the last crack was noticed in 40 degree weather. With the airbag on the passenger side having cracks I am worried that the dash is unstable and could break off during a crash and become a dangerous piece of debris when (if) the airbag is activated in a crash. I am also worried that the passenger side airbag will not activate due to the damage to the dash.
My Acura 2005 Tl formed giant cracks in the dashboard overnight. I am worried about the safety of the airbags due to these cracks, my research has shown that others have experienced this same problem and that the cracks only get worse and appear above the passenger side airbag if the dash is not replaced. .

I noticed a small crack on the passenger side airbag now it has spread across my whole dashboard there are many cracks.
My 2005 Acura Tl is experiencing extreme cracking in the dash. The cracks are criss crossing over my passengers side airbag. I am afraid that the airbag will not work, prematurely deploy, or send bits and pieces of my dash flying at me if it did deploy correctly during a crash. This is a huge safety concern for me everytime I start my car and drive an hour to work and back each day.
I own a 2005 Acura Tl, and the dashboard, over the passenger airbag, is cracked. I contacted the dealership and spoke to a sales rep who advised that this is a problem in all of the "high temperature" areas of the u. S. And, Acura knows that this is an issue, and they are willing to pay a percentage of the cost of replacement, so long as the vehicle fits the criteria. My vehicle has been very well maintained, and this is not a "cosmetic" issue. My primary concern is that the passenger side airbag may deploy while I'm driving, and potentially cause a crash. Or, in the event that I am involved in the crash that the airbag may not work properly. I never imagined an issue like this would arise, and not be properly addressed by Acura. I am very disappointed.
