38 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TL

Failure Date: 08/15/2020

A crack has developed on the passenger side of the dash running directly over the location of the airbag located on the same side. This has not resulted in any failure or malfunction as of now, but it raises concerns over the potential given the location. If you research the internet, you will find a plethora of similar complaints and concerns from many other third generation (‘04-‘08) Acura Tl owners dating back many years now. In spite of this, Acura/Honda has failed to offer any type of solution or even recognize it for the potential safety issue that it represents. To answer the questions you ask, I have not had it inspected by any dealer, mechanic or insurance representative at this time, nor have there been any warning lights appearing. However, common sense tells me that there is the “ potential “ for a problem given the nature of the crack and its location. Acura/Honda needs to step up and acknowledge and address this issue!!.

40 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TL

Failure Date: 07/17/2020

My battery would be dead if I didn't drive my car every day. Then I found out there is a parasitic drain on the battery from a faulty hands-free bluetooth module. I watched a video then disconnected mine myself, problem solved. I've used a headlight restoration kit because the lights are yellow and they have spider-cracks all in them, it really affects the brightness of the light itself. The dashboard is cracked beyond repair and I'm terrified of getting into a wreck in my car, the dash would become shrapnel!.

45 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TL

Failure Date: 05/24/2020

2005 Acura Tl- parked winters, garaged, babied and all service completed at the Acura dealerships. Car has 141,000 on it and was near 50,000 when purchased (aspec package etc). Car has developed cracks in the dashboard from the windshield to the instrument panel, across the center speaker and now directly on the indentation where the airbag is located on the passenger side. Reached out to Acura for assistance ((attached)) and they said the car is too old and outside warranty to help me. Irregardless of the fact I have always taken it to Acura and one look at the cars exterior and interior *paint and leather interior* shows that this car has been spoiled. The dashboard is a known issue for this generation and even made the news from complaints. I am now concerned that the airbag will not work properly or cause harm due to the structural integrity of the dashboard being altered due to shoddy craftsmanship that is not being backed up by Acura I have also raised concern that the headlight assembly are both cracking and discolored. I have had them professionally *refurbished* but the dealership said that they need to be replaced as they too are a safety issue not allowing proper light to be illuminated on the highway due to manufacture defect- again -- car parked winters, just look at the paint and quality of the car that is 15 years old.

46 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TL

Failure Date: 05/07/2020

These problems are not accident related but need to be addressed. My car battery kept draining. I replaced the battery just under a year ago and it kept happening unless I drove the car every day. Finally took it in to have it checked. The bluetooth device up in the headliner was shorted out. Got that fixed but found out that there is a class action lawsuit against Acura for this very problem. It's been ongoing for 5 years! the airbag issue has to to do with the fact that my dashboard is cracked, horribly, even though my car has been garaged and protected from the sun most of the time since I bought it in 2011. If the airbags deploy in an accident, there will be major shrapnel from the dashboard damage that will cause even greater injury. I would like to know why Acura is not doing anything about the faulty dashboard materials.

63 Air Bag problem of the 1999 Acura TL

Failure Date: 02/05/2020

My vehicle has a recall for the srs airbag system I just found out about on this website. I called Acura and they told me that the srs airbag system cannot be replaced because due to the age of the vehicle all parts are discontinued. This is a safety issue because now the srs dashboard light is on which means that the airbag system is offline and will not engage if there is a front end collision. How do I get this recall repairs completed. This is a huge safety problem and I'm concerned that I or possibly a passenger in my car may sustain unnecessary injuries if the airbag system does not engage in an accident. Please advise how to get this issue repaired or replaced. Thank you, anthony carlick.

As of today, Acura still does not have the parts to fix the defective parts specified in this recall. The recall office of the manufacturer has declined to provide a loaner vehicle or reimbursement during the time when the car is inoperable. Due to this recall, I have been denied to use of this vehicle without any realistic estimated time. Acura projects up to one year before a repair could be confirmed. Acura should buy these vehicles back if it is unwilling or unable to repair these vehicles.
