1. THIS 2005 ACURA TL HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERY MAJOR AND NON MAJOR FIX, INCLUDING PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS $125 FOR OIL CHANGES. JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I AM WORRIED THAT MY DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG PLATE ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 6-7 CRACKS ROUGHLY 8"-16" LONG. ACURA TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT CHARGE ME $1500 TO REPLACE THE DASH. *TR

I OWN A 2005 ACURA TL , WHICH I HAPPEN TO PAY LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR THIS "LUXURY" CAR. LITERALLY OVER NIGHT MY CARS FRONT DASH BOARD HAD CRACKED. ITS NOW HAS TWO LARGE CRACKS ON THE FRONT DASH THAT ARE NOT SURFACE CRACKS THEY ACTUALLY ARE COMPLETE CRACKS THROUGH THE DASH FROM THE VERY FRONT,WINDSHIELD, ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE,WOOD GRAIN . ONE CRACK THAT HAPPEN TO BE VERY CLOSE TO BEING ON TOP OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS WITHIN A YEAR, AND THE ONE I WAS INVOLVED IN OVER A YEAR AGO WAS A MINOR FENDER BENDER. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THOUSANDS OF ACURA TL OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND OCCURRENCES THAT ONLY HAVE GOTTEN WORSE RESULTING IN SEVERAL MORE CRACKS TO APPEAR WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS TO A MONTH WHICH CONCERNS ME. I AM IN FEAR THESE CRACKS AND POSSIBLE FUTURE CRACKS COULD RESULT IN MY AIRBAG SENSORS ABILITIES TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SPONTANEOUS RELEASE OF THEM,. *TR

I OWN AN 2005 ACURA TL BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO FROM AN ACURA DEALER,LIKE A YEAR AGO THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK NOW IT HAS CRACKS ALL OVER INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IM CONCERNED THIS COULD MAKE THE AIRBAG DEPLOY INCORRECTLY,I CALLED ACURA AND TOLD THEM MY CONCERNED BUT THEY DON'T SHARE MY OPINION THE ONLY THEY COULD OFFER ME ITS A 'GOODWILL' 40% DISCOUNT ON THE PART NOT THE LABOR LEAVING ME $1643 TO PAY FOR PROBABLY THE SAME DASHBOARD THAT ITS GOING TO LAST ME ANOTHER 3 YEARS. *TR

DASHBOARD IN 2005 ACURA TL CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD HOUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. *TR

SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASHON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIR BAGS EJECTING PREMATURELY AND CAUSING AN INJURY TO ME OR MY PASSENGER.

I HAVE A 2005 ACURA TL THAT HAS SEVERAL CRACKS ACROSS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM EARLIER THIS YEAR I SEARCHED GOOGLE FOR THE PROBLEM AND FOUND SOME VERY DISPLEASING NEWS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER ACURA OWNERS AND HONDA/ACURA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. FOR A LUXURY SPORTS CAR WITH THE LUXURY PRICE THAT WE ALL PAID THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I LOVE MY CAR BUT THIS HAS DEVALUED MY CAR. THE QUESTION IS WOULD I EVER BUY ANOTHER ACURA SINCE THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE. *LN
