A YEAR AGO MY SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS BEGAN TO HAVE A "RUSTY" RING LOOK AT THE BOTTOM AND WRAPPING AROUND TO THE SIDES. NOW BOTH MIRRORS ARE 80% COVERED IN THIS "RUST" GETTING DIFFICULT TO USE MY MIRRORS! HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM AND ISSUE ON THIS CAR!!! *TR

CRACKED DASHBOARD OVER AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE IN WHICH THERE ARE POST AND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME EXACT CRACK IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE ACURA TL 2005 AND A FEW OTHER YEARS! I HAVE ANOTHER THAT JUST CAME UP TODAY 2-20-14 OF A CRACK DOWN THE CENTER INTO THE SPEAKER ON THE DASH. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT IS OVER THE AIRBAG AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY ACURA! *TR

MY DASHBOARD ARE CRACKING OVER NIGHT. IT WAS FIRST ONE SMALL CRACK AND NOW I HAVE 3 AREA THAT HAVE CRACK. THIS ALL HAPPEN WITHIN A WEEK! THE CRACK ARE GETTING BIGGER AS DAY GO BY. ONE OF THE CRACK IS OVER THE AIRBAG AND I FEEL UNSAFE. THERE ARE SOME PLASTIC ON THE DASH AND IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, FEAR THOSE PARTICLE MAY FLY AT ME. I DID MY RESEARCH AND MAY ACURA TL MODEL FROM 2004-2008 HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAD THIS ISSUE AT EARLY AS 20,000 MILES. *TR

A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE AIRBAG WAS NOTICED THE SUMMER OF 2012. IT STARTED OUT SMALL AND EVENTUALLY RAN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DASH. SINCE THAT DAY SEVERAL MORE CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE APPEARED DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR. HEAT CAUSES THE CRACKS TO CLOSE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THEM AND OPEN UP WHEN THE WEATHER OR INTERIOR IS COOLER. YESTERDAY THE 6TH CRACK APPEARED, THIS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE ENTIRE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS VISIBLE WITH BOTH SIDES OUTLINED BY CRACKS. HEAT ALONE IS NOT CAUSING THIS AS THE LAST CRACK WAS NOTICED IN 40 DEGREE WEATHER. WITH THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAVING CRACKS I AM WORRIED THAT THE DASH IS UNSTABLE AND COULD BREAK OFF DURING A CRASH AND BECOME A DANGEROUS PIECE OF DEBRIS WHEN (IF) THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED IN A CRASH. I AM ALSO WORRIED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT ACTIVATE DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE DASH. *TR

MY CARS DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD TO THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK GOES DOWN THE SIDE OF WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. NOW MY DASHBOARD IS RIDDLED WITH CRACKS AND ACURA STATES THAT IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND I SHOULD NOT FEAR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING DUE TO THE CRACKS. I'M NOT ALONE AS I HAVE READ COUNTLESS STORIES SIMILAR TO MINE. I THINK IT'S TIME THAT ACURA STEPS UP AND HANDLES THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN. *TR

THE DASH ON MY 2005 ACURA TL HAS STARTED TO CRACK AND I AM AFRAID IT GETTING TOO CLOSE TO WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DASH CRACKING ONLINE. THIS TO ME SEE LIKE A MAJOR CONCERN GOD FORBID IF I AM IN A WRECK WITH A PASSENGER. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY REJECTED THE CLAIM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY UPSETTING SINCE IS EITHER GARAGED OR PARKED IN THE SHADE AND THIS STILL HAPPENED. *TR
