2004 Acura TL airbags problems

Filed Apr 29, 2023 · Airbags, Steering · CA

I noticed that my power steering hose is all dirty and full of built up power steering fluid and my airbag light in the dash screen does not come off. I’m concerned the air bag will fail in the events of an accident

The red air bag light on the dashboard has been on for many months. It will occasionally turn off, but usually it is on. Is there a recall for my 2004 Acura TL air bags? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The dashboard on 3rd generation Acura TL has a design defect to where they will crack all over. In the event of a crash which results in a passenger-side dashboard airbag deployment, the dashboard can rip uncontrollably and send shards of rubber flying at everyone's face in the car and prevent the airbag from deploying properly. This is a very well known problem with this generation of Acura TL and the dealership refuses to address as a warrantied safety concern.

We purchased this car new in 2004! This car has never had a airbag recall. I'm very concerned this year, make and model was overlooked concerning the airbag recall. Every single model and year around this 2004 acura tl was recalled for the airbag replacement. We constantly check for updates to assure we do not miss a notice. Is there anything that can be done to assure our 2004 tl airbag is safe?

I have not been contacted about the airbag recall, the potential problem with the accelerator pedal and the driver side lower ball joint recall. Several years ago I exited a highway, came to a stop sign and when I made a right turn the drivers side ball joint broke. I had the repair done and luckily I didn't hurt ao or myself. Thank you stay safe. I think it was in 2015.

As with other posts, cracks in the dashboard around the perimeter of the passenger airbag are pronounced and getting worse over time. Very concerned for the safety of passengers in an otherwise reliable vehicle which has many more years (and miles) of useful service.

Dashboard has crack from passenger side middle all the way toward driver side. Started about year 10 and got worse over the years. After reading some other complaints here I am also worried airbag deployment could either not trigger or trigger accidentally hurting a passenger in my vehicle. I also took to dealer and was instructed as out of pocket expense even though seems to be manufacture defect.

There are extremely deep cracks that have developed on the dashboard. Currently, you can see the outline of the housing for the airbag on the passenger side of the dashboard. When it's quiet, I can sometimes hear noise from where the front airbag is located. Very scary. I am hesitant for anyone to sit in the passenger seat and avoid it if at all possible. My car has always been garaged until recently - both at home and during the day at a commercial garage. The cracks developed even though the car was garaged when not driven. Disappointing that acura refuses to address this widespread safety hazard.
