The dashboard in my 2004 acura tl is cracked from the windshield down to the glove compartment on the right hand side. It appears to go right over the passenger side air bag.

On the dashboard there is a crack at the place where the air bag is suppose to deploy. The crack was not cause by impact nor by the sum.
2004 tl cracking in dash getting worse everyday, happened starting 2009 with a small crack. Now cracks are all over dash. Possible airbag failure from the looks of the cracks. Needs to be recalled. Very unsafe.
I currently owned a 2004 acura tl and the dash is cracking all around, now I am concerned for my safety in case of a crash how will it affect the airbags, acura ltd. Will do nothing to remedy the situation due to the dash is (normal wear and tear) meanwhile it is a brand new car.
1. Spontaneous cracks in the dash around the passenger air bag unit. 2. Air bag warning light on 3. Spontaneous crack in dash near steering column.
Several acuras tl 2004 have huge cracks on top of the airbags, our members have raised the issue of the possibility of a cracked dashboard being a safety hazard. Although we don't know of any cases yet, it is reasonable to believe that cracks that develop where the passenger air bag is supposed to deploy have the potential to affect the deployment of this safety equipment in case of an accident and, therefore, should be considered a safety hazard. We just cannot wait for someone to be permanently injured because of this defective part to act upon this, it is our responsibility to prevent this from happening. .

This is a near miss problem. We own an acura tl 2004. It has terrible blind spots. I think that the problem arises because the bars with the air bags in them are so wide that they can hide an entire car. We have had to add develop extra mechanisms to anticipate possible vehicles, and I feel much less safe driving this car than any other car I have ever driven. Also, the HVAC system is so complex that it is virtually impossible to manage it while driving. I hope you will start to look to see if you see a higher incidence of problems with the acura's or other vehicles with broad air bag holders and complicated heating and AC systems.
Dt*: the contact stated while changing lanes at 30 MPH the vehicle hit another vehicle and the driver side airbag did not deploy. This was a frontal impact and the driver was wearing a seatbelt but sustained minor injuries. A police report was filed at the scene and pictures are available. The vehicle sustained frontal damage and was towed to a local tow yard awaiting inspection. The dealership and manufacturer were alerted.
On november 19, my 2004 acura tl was struck squarely on the driver's side door causing in excess of $5000 damage. For whatever reason, the side airbag did not deploy. I have written acura client services asking if there was some reason for this but they haven't given me the courtesy of an acknowledgement much less a reply. I don't know if there's a defect or and explanation as to why the bag did not deploy.
