Front Air Bag Problems of Acura TL - part 2

I have 7 cracks in the dash of my 2004 Acura Tl. It started with 2 long cracks, one over the instrument panel and one in the passenger air bag cover. Over the past 13 months 5 more cracks have appeared in the dash between the first 2 orignal cracks. These cracks are unsightly and may be a safety hazard since the passenger air bag cover is involved.

2004 Tl cracking in dash getting worse everyday, happened starting 2009 with a small crack. Now cracks are all over dash. Possible airbag failure from the looks of the cracks. Needs to be recalled. Very unsafe.

Multiple cracks are on the passenger side, and a deep gash appears on the cowling over the instrument cluster. It's a high-end car, and you pay big money for it, and you shouldn't have big cracks in your dash board, on't know, you know with a crack like that, if the airbag were to deploy if it would cause any sort of malfunction.

2004 Acura Tl - dash has a 2' crash on the passenger side running top to bottom and into srs airbag area. Crack started at 90, 000 miles. Dealership acknowledged problem but since car is out of warranty wants $580. 00 to fix. This crack may seriously affect airbag deployment on passenger side.

Several Acuras Tl 2004 have huge cracks on top of the airbags, our members have raised the issue of the possibility of a cracked dashboard being a safety hazard. Although we dont know of any cases yet, it is reasonable to believe that cracks that develop where the passenger air bag is supposed to deploy have the potential to affect the deployment of this safety equipment in case of an accident and, therefore, should be considered a safety hazard. We just cannot wait for someone to be permanently injured because of this defective part to act upon this, it is our responsibility to prevent this from happening. . Read more...

I currently owned a 2004 Acura Tl and the dash is cracking all around, now I am concerned for my safety in case of a crash how will it affect the airbags, Acura ltd. Will do nothing to remedy the situation due to the dash is (normal wear and tear) meanwhile it is a brand new car.

2004 Acura Tl with cracked dashboard around passenger airbag. Outline of the airbag was visible since the car had approximately 50000 miles. Now the cracks are very visible and getting worse. Safety concern because of passenger airbag. Called Acura corporate, they offered a 25% discount to replace the dashboard which I believe is an admission that it is a defect. I could not afford to pay $1500 to have it replaced and feel that Acura should replace the dash. Many people have a similar problem. Acura has not issued a recall. I am hoping that NHTSA can influence Acura to do the right thing and protect the consumer. My car now has 100,000 miles and the cracks are very noticeable. I am concerned for safety of passengers because of the airbag. In addition, the car is supposed to be a luxury car and this defects detracts from the appearance and dramatically impacts the resale value. Please do what you can to force Acura to step up and fix the known defect.
