2006 ACURA TL Complaints

MY 2006 ACURA TL DASHBOARD CRACKED AFTER BAD SNOW STORM HERE. THERE ARE MANY CRACKS AND THE DEEPEST IS VERTICAL ALONGSIDE AIRBAG. ACURA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND NOT CORRECTING DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY JUST NEVER EXPOSED TO FRIGID WEATHER. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING WHEN AND IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY.

MY ACURA TL 2006 DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO (JUNE 2016). I HAD USED ARMOR ALL CONSISTENTLY YET THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO CRACK AND TODAY, I SEE THE CRACK BEHIND THE CENTRAL DASHBOARD SPEAKER CONTINUE T GROW. THE SECOND PHOTO I HAVE ATTACHED SHOWS THE SIGNIFICANT CRACKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, AND COINCIDENTALLY, AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I WOULD LIKE THIS DASHBOARD REPLACED TO ORIGINAL CONDITION (WITHOUT CRACKS), AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THESE CRACKS HAVE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS SAFETY SYSTEM.

SQUARE CRACK WITH LINES RUNNING TO WINDOW WHERE AIRBAG IS. LOOKS AWFUL AND I HOPE THE BAG DOESN'T POP OUT. THIS IS NO LUXURY CAR AND ACURA DOESN'T CARE. HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT.

DESIGN FLAW IN DASH CAUSES CRACKS COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACURA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GOODWILL OR FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM.

SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE FRONT DASH BOARD. THIS INCLUDE THE AREAS IN AND AROUND THE PART OF THE DASH THAT COVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE USED NO TYPE OF CLEANER THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SERIOUS CRASHES. A SEARCH ONLINE SHOWS A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES.

THIS MODEL AND YEAR HAS NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FRONT DASHBOARD CRACKING AT AN EARLY STAGE. ALSO THE VALVE COVER GASKETS LEAKS PREMATURELY. AND FINALLY THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHICH I HAD TO HAVE IT REBUILT. PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

WENT TO TURN ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THEY WON'T WIPE NEITHER WILL THE FLUID. TRIED WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED AND IN MOTION

TAKATA INFLATOR,I NOTICED ON PASSENGER SIDE ONE DAY AROUND JULY 1017 A CTACK WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I WOULD SURE DISLIKE IF ONE OF MY FAMILY PASSENGERS OF MYSELF FOR THAT MATTER GETS HURT DUE TO THE AIRBAG POPPING OUT FOR NO REASON I WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED TO AVOID A LAW SUIT FOR THE COMPANY..THANKS IN ADVANCE

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO GROW LARGER IN SIZE. THE CRACK IS RUNNING RIGHT ALONG WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS LOCATED IN THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS COMPROMISING THE THE ABILITY OF THE AIRBAG TO NOT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY. I AM NERVOUS TO ALLOW ANYONE RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAR IS GARAGE KEPT - IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN.

DASH CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG AS REPORTED BY COUNTLESS OTHERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUTUBE. MY CONCERN IS THE FLYING DEBRIS FROM THE FAULTY DASH SHOULD THE AIR BAG EVER DEPLOY WHICH CAN INJURE, KILL OR BLIND THE OCCUPANT
