general problems of the 2004 Acura TSX

I was driving my car and all of a sudden it was hard to steer the car.

2004 Acura Tsx: I sat in my car idle for about 15 minutes to eat. When I put my car in reverse to back out of a parking spot, the passenger side curtain and seat airbags suddenly deployed. Within 5 seconds the driver side deployed. These created the loudest noise I have ever heard in my entire life. I quickly put the car back in park and jumped out as the car was filled with a dusty cloud. This car has been serviced at an Acura dealership every 5,000 - 6,000 miles since I have owned it.

Car leaking power steering fluid and smoking underneath engine, keep having problems with the braking system and I saw recalls on 2004 -2008 models and air bag icon always on.

My safety restraint light stays on at 155,000 miles. For airbags.

Driving up to orlando at probably 80 mpg and passenger curtain and passenger seat air bag deployed by itself . . . . . . It really scared me but ther was no damage to exterior but the inside roof and leather seat where damaged. . . . .

The airbag or srs light is constantly on indicating that it will not deploy in an accident. This happens after starting the engine. The reason appears to be a failed electrical component in the seat belt buckle. This is a major safety issue that is and has been faced by a lot of Tsx owners. Contacted Acura but they will not cover anything, either to replace the component or even to diagnose the exact issue. Their position seat belts still work and so it is not a defect. Note that the airbags still won't deploy with this parts defect. The dealer concurs with Acura. Since this is a known and widespread reported safety issue, Acura should be asked to issue a recall.

The contact owns a 2004 Acura Tsx. While at a stop light, the passenger side curtain air bag deployed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

I was driving down a normal street at 5:00pm with the front windows down. With no prior indication or warnings the side impact air bag deployed with a disorienting "pop", violently punching me in the left arm. This caused my car to swerve, but I was able to maintain control and avoided any accidents. By all accounts, I was lucky; this could have been much worse.

Passenger airbag deployed while driving at a speed of 35 mph.

My wife was driving along and hit a piece of metal on the highway and had a blow out but maintained control of the vehicle and the passenger side curtain air bag and passenger seat air bag both deployed.

Air bags deploy because a piece of wood hit under the car, oil leak.

Rear ended another vehicle at 25 mph and my passenger airbag deployed without anyone being in the passenger seat. My airbag didn't deploy. I suffered a whiplash as a result. The collision was head on and I feel my airbag should have deployed. Acura says the car behaved the way it should have, but I feel that explanation is insufficient. I have spoken to experts in the area as well and they feel like me that the airbag should have deployed. It is my firm belief that this vehicle is defective.
