59 Air Bag problem of the 2004 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 03/07/2016

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.

On November 4 2014 I file a compleine with this car because the air bags deployed when the car was parking my husband and my little boy where on the car . ( iwas on the dentist office ) my husband decide to go into the car and give him some snack then after about 20 min that my husband turn on the car to use the ac the air bags passager and driver side deployed ,the passenger side bag hurt my son, 22 months old in his ear and head ( baby and father was in the front seat of the parked car) the baby was taken to the hospital for crying so much. Burns and ear pain were the result. At the previous complaint does not mention the damage the baby received because it was not fatal but after reviewing other complaints by other owners I decided to make a new complaint this car supposedly had an accident in 2009 for which the company carfax has record declared it a total loss on this car but I have in my possession a clean dmv title and carfax where the recor clarifies that were never the airbags be deployed and also never had structural damage iand I also want to clarify that was never lost in this car I have discovered an error in carfax so this car never never where a total loss so no acceptable excuses, the airbags for this Acura Tsx 2005 deployed for no reazon if you checked my car's computer will know that nothing cause the failure event only the fabrication defect I have documents supporting this. I do not know where else to turn or what else should I do to get Acura answer for emotional damage because it was a terrible shock to see my baby burned his ear because of a manufacturing defect. I also take the car to the dealer that day claiming the incident they refused to revise the car ,again this car was never involved in an accident that could cause a defect in airbags. Thanks I keep waiting for your early action on this dangerous defect.

69 Air Bag problem of the 2006 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

Power steering has been affected due to defective rack and pinion. Car pulls to the right and poses a safety issue on highway. Steering has also locked up due to the power steering leak while driving. A very frightening situation when going faxt speeds. Also, the front passenger airbag started cracking a few years ago and am questioning weather it would deploy in a collision.

70 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 12/21/2013

I was driving about 50mph when the passenger airbag deployed. Then 10-15 seconds later the driver airbag deployed. I did not have any tire blowouts or hit any objects in the street. There were no pot holes or man holes in the street where my airbags deployed. My two year old nephew was in a child safety seat in the back seat and inhaled a substantial amount of the airbag smoke and was choking which caused him to vomit. His parents will be taking him to his pediatrician on December 23, 2013. The driver airbag hit me directly in the face which caused swelling around my nose, eyes and upper lip area. I felt light headed after the incident and the next day. I've also had a slight headache since the incident on December 21, 2013. I've contacted Acura corporate office as well as the dealership. I also contacted my insurance company, which in my opinion should not be responsible for Acura's negligence. There were no warnings or lights indicating a problem before the airbags deployed.
