The driver’s side seat belt is frayed. The area of concern on the belt goes through the upper guide loop and into the b-pillar trim panel. When in use it resides along my upper left torso. The amount of fraying is about twelve inches in length and the width is decreased by about a quarter of an inch in one area. The issue came to my attention on January 18, 2023. When a CO-worker, who has worked in designing and engineering vehicle safety components, brought it to my attention. He informed me that that all safety features such as seat belts and air bags, are warrantied for the life of a vehicle as they work together as a safety system as an industry standard, and that the belt is compromised and may not work as designed in the event of a crash. On January 18, 2023, I spoke on the telephone with the service manager, martin, of Acura of troy in troy, michigan. Martin informed me that the belt was not a warranty item. I also contacted Acura by online chat on January 19, 2023, and received the same information. On January 27, 2023, I visited the Acura of troy dealership and had a service representative review the component and received a written estimate to replace the defective parts at my expense, and not under warranty. I believe this to be a defective part caused by the components comprised in the system. I would like this matter to be elevated with Acura as a matter of record. My expectation is to confirm this is either not a safety concern or repair the belt as required under warranty.

The Acura dealership inspected my airbag inflator and denied replacement since the airbag number ended with "00" rather than "96", "97", "98", "99". There is no explanation as to why "00" is safe. No one knows at the dealership or corporate office. Am I and others driving with a safe airbag or is it still defective? delayed response from Acura and Honda. No option provided to purchase a new inflator to guarantee safety. Now they are saying tekata seatbelts may also have an issue, and the dealership refused to inspect seatbelt upon request.

My son was driving straight down the road when the driver's side air bags suddenly deployed.

The vsa system light is on the dashboard I took it in for service and the computer is signaling is letting us know that in a case of a accident I wouldn't be safe also the airbags are showing an malfunction it would not protect me because it would not deploy also due to an accident.

Srs light came on in dashboard. Diagnostics indicated front passenger seat belt buckle (no continuity). Accura warranty states, "will repair or replace any Acura seat belt component that fails to function properly during normal use. This includes all parts and labor charges. Coverage continues for 15 years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. Car is less than 15 years old and has 139k miles. The dealer replaced the passenger seat belt assembly costing $429 and said I had to get warranty claim from Acura hq. I contacted Acura client relations (case # 100009213) and was told it was not covered under warranty because the seat belt was not defective. How a call center rep over the phone could tell me what was or was not wrong with the seat belt assembly is a mystery. Further, he selected the sensor as a component that he said was not working and he did not consider that a component of the seat belt assembly. The issue is that Acura can't selectively define what is and is not a component after stating in the warranty, "repair or replace any Acura seat belt component that fails to function properly. . . . " the word, "any" by definition means not specific or particular. The safety issue is that Acura has not met its obligation to ensure that the seat belt components are functioning properly within the stated time period.

The airbag seat belt sensor or light is on all the time it's common for these types of vehicles of 2004 to 2008. It is a safety issue that should be resolved, I was told it wasnt under warranty or a recall because the vehicle is older than 10 years, but clearly on the website it says under 15 years it should be covered. I wanted to clear this up with Acura service department but they wanted to charge me about $600 for a diagnostic test and almost $2000 for reinstalling an airbag and sensor, which I saw online it's a recall but my cars VIN says I dont have a recall. I already did a diagnostic test thru my mechanic and have all the codes that states it is a recall what can I do? I bought this car used and the airbag seat belt sensor light is always on.

Air bag light is on and air bag is deactivated due to defective switch in seat belt buckle. Manufacturer has lifetime seat belt warranty but will not honor the warranty because they claim that the switch is part of the air bag system and not part of the seat belt. So my wife and daughter has to drive a car with no air bags because Honda/Acura will not honor their warranty. Should be a recall on this, as it is a common problem.

While driving at a steady 35 mph on route 9 in croton-on-hudson, new york the driver side curtain and front seat airbag deployed for no reason almost causing a catastrophic accident. The seat belt actuator is now locked rendering the seat belt useless. Acura towed the car to a dealer who uploaded all the computer codes and claims that the owner is responsible for the airbag replacement! the codes listed on the receipt are f3-11, 61-1, 81-55, 25-11. They list a defect code 03217. Customer service at Acura north America cited the condition of the 4 rims, (which are all scuffed at the edges), and scuffs on the bumper indicate possible reasons for air bag deployment. If this was possible, shouldn't the airbag have deployed when the scuffs occurred? there was no event that should have caused the airbag activation under steady driving. Acura seems to have had more examples of this problem as evidenced on various Acura forum web pages where unprovoked side and seat airbags unexplainably detonate. The customer service agent at Acura had no explanation for this. Had this resulted in a physical injury rather than and emotional/psychological one, a court case could have been pursued.

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.

I was driving at night on I-90 east in washington state, at 60mph when I hit a very small pothole right the front passenger tire, and it deployed the driver's seat airbag, and the driver's side curtain airbag, and locked the seatbelt tight against me. The airbag malfunctioned and hit me very hard disorienting me and barely allowing me to pull over. The airbag malfunction nearly caused me to total the vehicle while I had a passenger in the car with me. No other airbags were deployed.

Takata recall and electrical system: air bag deployed right side of car electrical system malfunctioning right side before the crash. Because of deployment of right side air bag it caused the driver side air bag to be deployed. Car was exiting highway ramp when airbag deployed. Documented ins estimate avail.

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.

Takata recall. After taking my car in to the Acura of orange park FL to have airbag system checked related to the recall the repair was made and a week later the indicator light came on again. I called the dealership to advise and was told to bring it back which I did and was told the recall repair was made. However, the switch is faulty and needed to be replaced for a cost. I then called the corporate office and was told to return it at which time I was told that isn't covered in the recall. Now I don't know if the airbag system indicator is accurate or not because the light comes on and off daily as I drive.

Honda replaced my airbag and I still get the srs malfunction light. Acura does not want to take this safety issue and is wanting me to replace the safety components at my cost. Srs light is on and I suspect faulty seat belts. But Honda does not warranty seat belts and safety components after 10 years.

After seeing my seat belt light on for a long time, I discovered that NHTSA campaign number: 01v166002. I called the Acura number listed, as well as the dealership that sold and has serviced my car, and both are stating that there has been no recall for these seat belts. I verified they knew my car was a 2001 Acura Tl, and specifically asked about the seat belts.

I have a 2004 Acura Tl dash that has very large cracks over the passenger airbag and is cracked in 3 more places over the drivers steering column. This seems to be a very common problem that many 2004 Acura owners are facing. Acura customer relations says to see the dealer for a resolution and from what I'm reading online it seems that the dealer wants no part in fixing or warantying this part. I will investigate this issue and report back to Acura to see if they will cover this 2000 dollar part that should be recalled on that model year. Acura should do something about this. Accepting responsiobility for this known issue would be a good place to start.
