| Seat Belt problems |
The driver side curtain airbag deployed after hitting a small pothole going around 35 mph on a paved city road.
Drivers side curtain and torso airbag deployed, and seat belt tensioner operated when passenger side tire hit a pothole on the off ramp of a limited access highway. Car was traveling at approximately 65 mph.
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.
