1 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 08/11/2022

I have a defective dashboard in my Acura Tl. The dashboard is cracking. One of the crack pieces popped out and flew into my eye while driving. I almost rear-ended someone. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. There needs to be a recall on all dashboards. 2. I can not see through my review mirror. The top half is light grey and the lower half is blacked out/tinted. A rearview mirror is needed to drive safely and I can not see out of mine. It is very difficult to use. I am unsafe trying to use it. 3. Cracked seats. The cracked seats are cutting my legs and my passenger's legs. With the way the world is today, we can not drive around in cars with cracked seats. This is hazardous to our health. There heighten the chances of spreading diseases by exchanging blood and body fluids through the cuts. The cracking of the seats is not safe.

3 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 11/16/2018

Simply driving down the highway when the passenger seat side airbag deployed. Car has not been in an accident and did not hit a pothole. Research online finds this to be a common problem, but Acura does not appear to be concerned. Airbag explosion alone was loud enough to almost cause an accident due to the scare.

4 Seats problem of the 2005 Acura TL

Failure Date: 07/15/2018

My 2005 Acura Tl has been kept in top condition and care. Last year (2018) the dashboard began to split along the passenger airbag location. The crack spread from the front all the way to the windshield. Now I get the seat belt warning light anytime someone sits in the seat. . . Indicating the airbag is not functioning. I have been told that the fix will cost over $3500. 00. At this time the vehicle in great condition is probably only blue book priced around $4,500. 00? shouldn't Honda/Acura have some financial skin in this game? it just so happens that my Acura is not part of the takata recall! this is a safety issue!!!.

My leather on my front seats are falling apart. I called Acura home office and was told to take the car to the dealership.

I bought the car new and it has been serviced at Acura of pembroke pines.

8 Seats problem of the 2008 Acura TL

Failure Date: 01/04/2017

Takata recall - my airbags on my 2008 Acura Tl have exploded on my seats, roof, and side airbags. I don't understand why previously submitted complaints about this issue have not been responded to. My airbag light is on and will not go off and my safety is being jeopardized everyday on this vehicle and it appears for the last decade other owners of the 2008 Tl have reported on the Acura forums what I have, yet for some reason, the recalls are excluding this model. Why, why why????? does it take another death for someone to recognize this???? the vehicle was moving when this occured on an exiting access road.

9 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

Takata recall my son has a 2004 Acura Tl and on September 2nd, he drove to work with the car. On his way, while driving in the parking lot, his side curtain airbag deployed along with one from the seat only on one side. He took the car to the Acura dealership in milford for diagnostic test per Acura corporation, came back they are blaming him that he caused the airbag to deploy by driving over bumps, etc. They are refusing to fix the car. Yet still all the years from 2000 Tl through present recall except 2004. And they are blaming him that they will not fix his car. That is not right, Acura knows that the airbags are defected. He needs his car to go to work.

14 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 09/19/2014

My 2004 Acura Tl has a defective dashboard. I've seen cracking in my dashboard that was disguised in the instrument panel since 2007. It originally looked like the crack was part of the design above the instrument panel. In the past three years, the cracking has spread all over the dashboard to the passenger side comprimising the integrity of the airbag deployment feature in my vehicle. I have received nothing from Acura corporate for an obvious dashboard design flaw for 2004-2006 Acura Tl models. Acura corporate says that cracked dash is a result of wear and tear. My concern is the safety of the airbag during normal deployment and whether or not it will protect my family in the event of an impending accident.

15 Seats problem of the 2012 Acura TL

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

I have had my 2012 Acura Tl to the dealership and told the tech about the airbag sensor being displayed since I bought the car. I had it to the dealership for that one reason one time and the other 2x�s, I just mentioned it as I got my oil change and cabin filter. Nothing or no one is in the seat; however it keeps blinking off and on. I have someone in the front seat of my car a lot and I hope that it is not a defect in airbag that would injure someone. I hope it would deploy if it needed to. I have 60,000 miles and have had sooooo many problems with this car. Just had to replace alternator (first time)and battery(for the second time in 2 years). Acura will not do anything as it is already out of warranty. In warranty Acura customer service is great. Out of warranty�they don't really care. Thank you for your time.

16 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 03/17/2012

There is a water leak under the right rear passenger seat that has caused the bottom of the seat cushion to be covered in mold. The water leak is a known condition with the '04 Tl that Acura has documented in their April 2005 service news. Acura has been aware of the issue for at least 7 years and has done nothing proactive to correct it even though it's a simple fix. I'm confident that the long term exposure to the mold has caused me the sinus and lung/asthma problems that have been plaguing me for the last few years and that began shortly after I purchased the car and never connected to the car even though I have undergone a variety of testing from different doctors.

17 Seats problem of the 2012 Acura TL

Failure Date: 10/03/2011

The passenger side front seat in this vehicle is so loose it rocks back and forth and from side to side. It feels as if the seat is going to collapse in the event of an accident and injure the person in this seat, as well as any passenger seated behind it, in rear passenger seat. I have had the seat inspected by Acura dealership, and sent multiple letters to both Acura and Honda motor CO. They claim this is a normal "characteristic" of this passenger seat in this car (make/model yr). The service manager at the dealer indicated that the problem may have something to do with the weight sensor on the passenger side air bag control (the driver seat is stable and fully supportive). No other car seat that I have ever sat in feels this loose and has this much motion to it. It feels really unsafe and makes the passenger in this seat experience motion sickness. Can you please conduct an investigation into whether or not this passenger side front seat can hold up in the event of an accident?.

18 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

20 Seats problem of the 2004 Acura TL

Failure Date: 12/01/2004

Serious vibration in 2004 Acura Tl. Vibration in the steering, seats and floor pan. Replaced and rebalanced the tires three times. The vehicle vibrates between the 52 and 58 mph regardless of gear selection. The consumer stated that the vibration is so annoying that he avoids that particular speed range. Michelin xgt z4's were installed on the vehicle and the vibration continues. The consumer requests information on what to do before initiating the lemon law process. The consumer was told that this problem will most likely cause premature wear of various suspension components and tires.

21 Seats problem of the 2002 Acura TL

Failure Date: 02/10/2002

I own a 2002 Acura Tl type s with only 80,000 miles on it. The drivers seat has become loose from the mounts and rocks like it loose from the supports. I have looked at the frame of the seat and it apears the welded frame has come loose on one of the corners. I have some experience as a welder and can see that the welded area was not very good causing it to separate. . .
