Due to the crash, the driver's seat collapsed into the back seat and fractured into two pieces. The passenger side air bag deployed, but the driver's side air bag did not.

Takata recall - other 2003 acura tl cars are considered to be in a"high risk population". . . With a very dangerous defect...risk posed by these airbag inflators is grave...it is critical they be repaired to avoid more deaths." the passenger side air bag on my car has not been repaired, nor is it on recall. My VIN number was not in your system when I had it checked. Has my car been overlooked. It had the drivers side air bag fixed in 2015, but the passenger side air bag is takata and has not been fixed. Please look into this. [xxx] I have tried to tell people about this problem. Please look into it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Why not require replacement of takata airbag on passenger's side as well as for the driver's side? Both would create the same hazard that stimulated the original call to replace the inflator for the driver"s side of the automobile!

Air bag warning light is on.d5 light flashing on transmission
Takata recall, SRS light came on in my car and my car has not been in an accident, I have had fuses checked , and nothing wrong with any of my safety equipment my light still stays on. Called acura dealer just got the run around again and again. The vehicle was in motion when light came on street driving .
Honda replaced my airbag and I still get the SRS malfunction light. Acura does not want to take this safety issue and is wanting me to replace the safety components at my cost. Srs light is on and I suspect faulty seat belts. But honda does not warranty seat belts and safety components after 10 years.
Takata recall I contacted acura three times to resolve this but nobody ever calls me or writes me a letter to get the problem resolved. I live near escanaba, mi and the nearest dealership is in appleton, wi which is a four hour drive away from me or 200 miles one direction. I cannot afford to travel the distance and would like to get it repaired locally. The operators I've spoken to tell me they need to speak with their supervisors... Who never come to the phone, who instead tell me they will contact me at a later date to resolve the problem... Like I've stated I have never received a return phone call, voice message, or letter in the mail regarding my request... I want to get this addressed as soon as possible.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 acura tl. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v320000 (air bags) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall. I have received several notices to replace the air bags on my 2003 acura. The honda dealer 25 miles from my home will not replace it. The nearest acura dealer is 60 miles away. Twice I have talked to your people, they attempted to set up an appointment with the honda dealer but that has not happened. Now the government says I should not drive my car at all. As such the only option is for you to send a wrecker to pick up my vehicle, repair the airbag, and return it to me. Acura apparently built and sold a dangerous vehicle. It is not my responsibility to drive 120 miles and waste most of a day to correct your mistake.
Takata recall I don't know if this is the right forum for my complaint. But I have been dealing with acura for 6 months trying to get my recalled airbags replaced on my 2003 acura 2.3tl. The closest dealership to where we are stationed (husband in the navy) is 2 hours away. Acura put in a request with rick justice honda in meridian, ms to do the repair for me, but they refused. Rick justice honda informed me that acura will not pay them to do the repair, acura claims this is not the case. I have made dozens of attempts to contact acura customer care to get this figured out. No one is able to help me, and my case manager (case 04757404) never calls me back. I have requested a rental car since it is my understanding that I absolutely should not drive my car, especially since I live in a gulf coast state. They told me I would need to drive 2 hours to pick it up since rick justice, 30 minutes from me, will not help me. I feel acura/honda are doing nothing to help me or insure my safety. I feel rick justice honda should be able to do the repairs since acura and honda are virtually the same!
Dealer unable to repair within 60 days. May take up to 5 months to repair.

In june 2015 a light suddenly came on the dashboard when I turned on the ignition indicating a problem with the front passenger side airbag. I took it to my acura dealer who said it malfunctioned and had to be replaced. It was replaced and I was charged $753.84. I asked if it was never used how could it malfunction and why did I have to cover the charge. In november 2014 the front airbags were replaced by the dealer at no cost to me. Since your agency is looking into side airbags, can I be reimbursed for my payment of $753.84, and if so, to whom do I make this request? Do I need to have any other airbags replaced in my car?

This 2003 acura tls was recalled for airbag defect. After 3 visits I am now told I will need a $700 repair to the airbag sensor. It is extremely odd that the 2 items happened at the same time. I believe the two items are one in the same and should have the scope of the recall expanded to encompass this sensor. I noticed another complaint on the same issue with the SRS light.

My daughter died in a accident on november 7, 2013 in the acura tl 2003. She had been telling me that it felt like the ignition was sticking and would speed up.

I believe that her car problem was the cause of the accident and the police could not give me a reason for the accident. She was 19 and a senior in high school and was a good child.

I was applying the brake due to stopped traffic ahead of my car. As I did so, the car accelerated rather than slowed down. My car contacted the left rear of the car in front of mine, and as I tried to straighten out the car, it again accelerated. Veered to the right, and struck the stone wall of the bridge on the shoulder of the highway. According to the police report, there was a malfunction with the throttle mechanism.
