Adaptive Equipment Problems of Acura TL

The car is been sitting for about 4 days and the battery is dead again. This has been the issue since I bought the car. It was taken to the dealer when this first happened and I was assured that the problem has been fixed. However, over the years I have replaced numerous batteries. Internet research proved that the problem is with hands free system and Acura knows about the problem for long but has done nothing to fix it.

Dashboard has started cracking from 85000 miles onwards. Now by 124000 miles, the dash has so many cracks that I am worried that the airbags may pop out anytime soon. This is a big safety concern.

My leather dashboard on the inside of my car is about 50% covered with cracks. The cracks also run on top of the area where the airbag pops out. This is a major safety concern for me along with many other people that have the same problem. I have never seen this condition on any car, and would expect not to see it on such a high end vehicle like my Acura Tl. The dashboard should not be cracking at all. This should be an automatic recall item, especially because of the safety concerns. Please address this promptly. It is a shame that the dealerships say that this is natural wear and tear. If there is a airbag underneath it, the item should be recalled.

My wife drives the car on a regular basis. On 5/21/12 she advised a crack @ 2" had developed on the passenger side dash over the air bag. On 5/22/12 the crack had enlarged and is now @ 4" long.

On Honda accords/Acura Tl's 2004-2008 the navigation systems are failure and causing reboots nearly every 30 seconds. At night driving, this causes the navigation screen light to brightly flash every 30 seconds and the system will not function and allow you to turn the screen off or minimize brightness. On a recent trip from atlanta, georgia to baltimore, maryland at night I had to place an obstacle on the screen to avoid the flashing. I contacted Acura and they are aware that this is happening and that the fix is to purchase a new system at $3,500 or sent the system to alpine (the maker of the navigation system) and have them attempt to repair it for $158. 00 fee. After reviewing numerous forum sites on Honda/Acura I have found this to be a very common event. I feel that this is very dangerous while driving at night. My son attempted to drive this vehicle on 12/24/2011 during the day and brought the car back home because of the flashing and annoyance while driving. This was coming from a 22 year old. I've asked my children to not drive the vehicle at night so to avoid any issues. Has there been any reports? Acura told me that they report to this agency monthly and that my report/call to them today would be submitted this month.
