The area around my passenger side airbag on the dash is completely cracked and damaged. I'm concerned that the airbag is damaged under neath and will not deploy during a accident. These cracks just appeared one day while the vehicle was parked and a few days later more cracks. Acura should truly consider recalling these vehicles before someone dies due to there negligence. This is my 2nd request. I am aware of other Acura owners with the same issue.
A large crack has appeared on the dash panel covering passenger side airbag. I fear this will get in the way of deploying passenger side airbag in an emergency situation and/or potentially generate dangerous shards. This seems to be a known problem when I visited the Acura service department earlier today, but they have so far refused to advise me on a suitable course of action. My car has never been in an accident and has been very well taken care off, with most of the driving being limited to surface streets and always being garaged overnight.
Cracks are appearing around the passenger side air bag dash covering, I fear this will send dangerous shards everywhere in case of deployment in addition to the ones possibly sent by the airbag itself.
Takata recall- passenger roof, seat and side airbags deployed when I hit a curb on the drivers side. How can this be? I have a 2008 Acura Tl. It needs to be considered in the recall. Upon the above mentioned, the passenger side dash has separated from the front passenger frame. This is very dangerous and could separate while driving. All of the damage is on passenger side and not on the drivers side where the impact was. Currently I do not feel safe in the drivers side if the airbags malfunction like that nor can I have passengers in my car. This airbag recall needs to include some 2008 models that are not showing at this time.
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.
I was approaching a traffic light in my Acura Tl 2008 car. As I was pressing the brakes, my driver side air bags deployed. There was no cause that could have triggered the air bags to deploy; my car was not hit in the side, there was no debris on the road, there were no pot holes in the road. The air bags deployed for no reason. I have taken my car to the Acura dealership and upon inspecting it they decided that the airbags deployed because of a pot hole, which is not true.
