My 2004 acura tl has a crack in the dash board around the passenger side airbag. This is not an isolated incident as I have recently learned that other 2004 and 2005 acura owners are having the same issue. I am worried because the crack is spreading and does not seem at all safe. I attempted to contact acura corporate and honda and was told I would have to pay to correct an obviously defective part.
Multiple cracks are on the passenger side, and a deep gash appears on the cowling over the instrument cluster. It's a high-end car, and you pay big money for it, and you shouldn't have big cracks in your dashboard, don't know, you know with a crack like that, if the airbag were to deploy if it would cause any sort of malfunction.

These cracks are unsightly and may be a safety hazard since the passenger air bag cover is involved.

2004 acura tl. The interior dash suddenly formed cracks forward of the steering wheel and over the passenger airbag system. My concern is that the cracked dash will impact passenger airbag deployment in case of an accident. I purchased an extended warranty for the car through acura when I purchased the car in 2004 which is still in force. The local acura dealership claimed the dash replacement was not covered.

My 2004 acura tl has developed a large crack around the passenger side front air bag in the dash. This was at one time a completely sealed unit.

2004 acura tl with cracked dashboard around passenger airbag. Outline of the airbag was visible since the car had approximately 50000 miles. Now the cracks are very visible and getting worse. Safety concern because of passenger airbag. Called acura corporate, they offered a 25% discount to replace the dashboard which I believe is an admission that it is a defect. I could not afford to pay $1500 to have it replaced and feel that acura should replace the dash. Many people have a similar problem. Acura has not issued a recall. I am hoping that the federal safety agency can influence acura to do the right thing and protect the consumer. My car now has 100,000 miles and the cracks are very noticeable. I am concerned for safety of passengers because of the airbag. In addition, the car is supposed to be a luxury car and this defects detracts from the appearance and dramatically impacts the resale value. Please do what you can to force acura to step up and fix the known defect.
This complaint is in regards to 2004 acura tl dash boards cracking in the area of the passenger airbag. My car with 94k mile dash cracked yesterday perfectly along the passenger dash. While researching this online I see that several people have complained and have pictures of the exact same issue which can possibly be hazardous if the airbag deploys.

This involves my 2004 acura tl, which I have owned since october 2007. In the two and a half years since the purchase, significant cracks have appeared on the dashboard of this car. There are several cracks on the dash in front of the driving panel. There are also two major cracks on the passenger side, each one running from the windshield all the way to the glove box. What makes this worrisome is that each crack runs along the passenger side airbag, which is weakening the integrity of that airbag. I am concerned that these cracks could cause the passenger airbag to deploy unexpectedly, injuring any passenger in that seat and possibly even causing an accident. It could also cause the airbag to deploy improperly during an accident, and either fail to prevent injury or make the passenger's injuries worse. This defect is occurring in the 2004 and 2005 models, but acura is treating it as a cosmetic issue rather than a safety one, and refusing to cover the expense of replacing the dash, which costs almost $2000 including labor and parts. Other 2004/2005 tl owners who had the dash replaced were told that the new dash was made with different materials and would not have the same problem. This is a de facto admission that these dashboards were made with inadequate materials. This is indeed a safety issue, as it involves the airbag. These cracks are significantly compromising the safety of this car, and acura needs to issue a safety recall rather than treat it like a cosmetic issue.
2004 acura tl, passenger side area of dashboard starting to crack above where airbag is located. Could this cause problem with airbag deployment when dash has numerous cracks. Have found other tl's in the 2004-2006 range with similar problems on forums and facebook links as well.
