2000 Acura TL airbags complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 62 of 62, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased 2002 acura brand new. During an accident, the driver air bag did not deploy during crash. The passenger air bag deployed when no one was in the passenger seat during crash. Acura 3.2 tl was featured to be a safe vehicle in advertisements. It had front and side airbags. Acura is combining target markets for approach to safety, best value for high end car, upper-end demographics. For a price of over $28,000, vehicle should be be flawless. Let the buyer beware. Consumer product safety commission should issue a recall.
Iintermittent airbag system failure on acura 2000tl. The yellow light indicator side airbag turn on the multiple times during the trip, stay on for a couple seconds and disappear after that. When the yellow light "side airbag" is on the airabag system is disabled.
Srs system failure due to faulty part.*mr (nar) the consumer feels that the failure was due to a faulty part or design not wear or tear. The charges were unreasonably high due to poor design. An entire seat assembly should not have had to be replaced to fix an SRS sensor.
While driving at 30 MPH SRS indicator light came on and stayed on. This may result in air bag failure. Dealership replaced the battery, but the problem still exists.
Driver side air bag deployed prematurely without vehicle being in an accident or impacted.
The airbag system has failed 3 times in 16 months as indicated by the SRS warning light on the instrument panel. The system's availability during a crash is questionable.
Tthink twice and long before buying a 2000 acura 3.2 tl.we are the second owners of this make/model/year. We and the original purchaser have experienced the following issues:on september 25th, 2001, at 20129 miles, the first owner took the automobile to an acura service department because the SRS (supplemental restraint system) indicator light had come on.the shop replaced the 'opds unit' but provided no explanation as to why the warning indicator had come on. At 26467 miles, the original purchaser brought the car to the dealership because the brake indicator light had come on.brake fluid was added, but no reason for the light's illuminating was given.we purchased the vehicle with an odometer reading of 25807 miles.shortly thereafter, the SRS light came on and stayed on.at 26467 miles we brought the vehicle to an acura dealer.shop personnel checked the SRS indicator and consequently ordered yet another 'opds' unit.while in the shop, the seal around the front windshield,which had puckered up,also was repaired.some three weeks later we returned to the dealership to have the opds unit replaced.no explanation was given for the problem.in the interim,the brake warning light had come on,and the brake reservior cap was changed as well.less than two months have passed:the SRS light is again constantly on.we are about to schedule an appointment to have this looked at, and also have the trunk light inspected, since it doesn't work.the trunk light problem is not due to a blown fuse or burned-out bulb; I checked that myself.having the SRS warning light come on,together with the dealer's inability to explain or rectify the situation,puts one in something of a quandry:is it a false warning,will the airbag(s) deploy in a crash? Or is it an indication of a problem and will the airbag(s) not deploy when needed? The acura 3.2 tl is not an inexpensive car, and one would expect it to require minimum attention while providing a high degree of reliability and safety. It doesn't.
