I was traveling around 45 MPH getting onto the highway from the service road when someone came from the far left and hit me on the drivers side front - front left fender and front light, and bumper were damaged. The passenger side air bag went off - note there was no one in the passenger side. The drivers side air bag did not go off as well as the restraint did not hold me back on impact.

My wife was in a collision on 12/12/03 which involved another vehichle that ran a stop sign and my wife's new 2003 acura tl hit the vehicle at fault in the drivers side door. I have included pictures of the property damage incurred. The front airbags did not deploy. I reported this incident to the acura dealer in fort walton beach immediately that I purchased this from and gave them a chance to test the airbags before the car was fixed. They declined and informed me they would test the airbag system once it was repaired. The case file# with the dealer was b012003-12-1601041. Everybody that I spoke with regarding this was amazed that the airbags did not depoy on a front end crash that caused $7183 dollars worth of damage. The core support of the car had to be replaced. I have heard of other acura failures for front airbags and wanted to see if there was a defect in this particular model. The dealer was not that helpful. Mr. Kirk perks the district manager did agree to meet with me to discuss and the dealer performed an airbag test , however the auto repair shop stated to me that there was no way to accurately test the airbag system. My concern now is obviously if these airbags will deploy on any future incidents.

My 2003 acura 3.2tl was put in service in august, 2003. Recently, the SRS light has come on and the dealer's service department is now making the second attempt to correct it; however, they advised me in writing as follows: "advised customer not to leave any electrical device on pass seat, will cause light to go off" I.e., cell phone in my wife's pocketbook could turn SRS off. This explanation does not seem plausible. If the system is that sensitive, it is not dependable!
