My dash board keeps cracking over time in several places,new ones just pop upping up everywhere.this did not start until last year sometime around 100,000 mi.I talked to local dealership,acura co.and the manufacturer of their parts.they said they wont help me.this is not right.I barely drive anywhere.my car stays in garage and is very well taken care of.never been owned/driven on the coast or fl,anywhere like that.I live in ms.all over the internet,on acurazine,and youtube this is happening to 3rd gen tl acuras.can u help me? The cost for a new dash is very expensive $3000.00+. This is a faulty product on their part. There is no way they should get away with this or not make a recall.are recalls a thing of the past? Iv had several problems not of my making that I just paid to have fixed but I am sick of this.car manufacturers should not be allowed to do this to people. They just blow us of!and with those of us who take care of our cars, this means their defects arent goin to occur until much later after any warranty has passed.I assure u this is not from general wear or user error.my car stays inside garage,I very rarely drive it and I keep it waxed just as ones look on a car lot.because I have a truck that I drive mainly the car is rarely used.iv hardly put any miles on car since iv owned it.everywhere everyone that owns this model acura says its happening.I assure u this car does not stay in sunlight,has never been around harsh environments.there is nothing that any driver does to create user error that concerns"cracking all over the dash board"from left side all the way to rt side, top and bottom.just long big cracks appearing out of no where every other month now.never have I seen this on any car with well over 100,000 miles.never.many others say the same thing.this type of theivery and quality should not go on.
Dashboard right above passenger side airbag is cracking. Part of dashboard covering could break loose right above airbag assembly during airbag deployment causing severe injury to passenger. Acura should replace entire dash covering under warranty as soon as possible.
Dashboard developed a large crack that aligns with the left side of the passenger airbag compartment while parked. Concerned with the integrity of the dash and safety of the airbag system. The crack allows moisture into the airbag module which can create the risk of a faulty airbag deployment or failing to deploy which can lead to severe injury or death. My passengers regularly include my husband and young son that sits behind passenger seat. Through online research, this material defect affects acura tl and tl type s from 2004-2008, and several forums including https://www.facebook.com/acuratldefectivedash/ shows other owners with the same exact issue. After investigating, this crack cannot be repaired, and total dash replacement is the only safe alternative. My acura has only one owner, parked under carport, kept in excellent condition, 91,000 miles, with all dealership maintenance records for the past 12.5 years. I am not looking for anything further than a replacement dashboard to be installed by manufacturer at this time due to my extreme concern for my passengers' safety. Airbags are very dangerous and can cause serious injury so no need to have an exposed airbag safety issue unattended. I would like resolution asap from manufacturer. Thank you.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 acura tl. While the vehicle was stationary, the dashboard on the passenger side (near the air bag) fractured from the windshield down to the glove compartment. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that it was a cosmetic concern. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.
My vehicle has been garage kept since I bought it new in january 2006. In january of 2018, I discovered that the dashboard, where the passenger's airbag is located cracked. The crack outlines the shape of the airbag. I also discovered another crack directly in front of the steering wheel. The concern is that the airbag may accidentally deploy without being involved in an accident. In researching this problem, it appears that this is a very common issue with 2004 & 2006 tls. Lots of complaints with the same symptoms and acura is not taking ownership of the common problem. Thank you.
Dashboard is cracking all over the place to the point that the airbag is now visible on the driver side.
My 2006 acura tl dashboard cracked after bad snow storm here. There are many cracks and the deepest is vertical alongside airbag. Acura is not standing behind their product and not correcting defective parts. The vehicle was stationary just never exposed to frigid weather. The car is not safe to drive not knowing when and if airbag will deploy.
Square crack with lines running to window where airbag is. Looks awful and I hope the bag doesn't pop out. This is no luxury car and acura doesn't care. Has less than 100k miles on it.
The passenger dash cracked in a square around the airbag.
Several large cracks have developed on the front dash board. This include the areas in and around the part of the dash that cover the passenger side air bag. I have used no type of cleaner that would have caused this issue and have not been involved in any serious crashes. A search online shows a large number of vehicles of this make and model with similar issues.
Takata inflator,I noticed on passenger side one day around july 1017 a ctack where the airbag is located. I would sure dislike if one of my family passengers of myself for that matter gets hurt due to the airbag popping out for no reason I would like this fixed to avoid a law suit for the company..thanks in advance
Cracking of the acura tl dashboard may present a safety hazard with regards to passenger side airbag deployment. The cracks appear to emanate from above the airbag canister and extend for the entire width of the dashboard. The cracks may impact the deployment of the airbag by opening in the wrong direction or too quickly due to the reduction in resistance of the dashboard. The cracked portion of the dashboard may present a safety hazard if it detaches during airbag deployment. Manufacturer should provide test and/or computational simulation data to verify that the reduction in dashboard integrity does not impact airbag deployment or create the potential for dangerous fragments.
The dash board has two large cracks on it, and I have been told this can cause damage to the airbags that are directly below these cracks. I have done some research and there are a lot of other owners that are having similar issues as this one however acura is not recognizing this as a defect?
My transmission is starting to fail gears the RPM is going up and down rapidly.
Dash developed dual cracks that align with airbag compartment and wide enough to visually see the airbag framing components. Concerned with the integrity of the dash and safety of airbag system, potential for deploying and harming passengers including my teenage children. After investigating, these cracks cannot be repaired and total dash replacement is the only safe alternative. Cracks developed on their own and steadily lengthened to outline both sides of the airbag compartment. Mt acura is a one owner, never been wrecked, garage kept excellent condition with all maintenance records for the past 10 years. I am not looking for anything further that a replacement dash to be installed by manufacturer at this time due to my major concern for any passengers safety. Airbags are very dangerous and can cause serious injury so no need to have a an exposed airbag safety issue unattended. I would like resolution asap from manufacturer.
The dashboard has a crack in it on the passenger side about where the airbag is located and the scoring is for the airbag deployment. The car is in excellent shape. Has spent most of it's life in a garage. Only has 85,000 miles on it and is detailed twice a year. There is no excuse for this. I am concerned that besides being a horrible cosmetic defect that it actually creates a safety issue for the proper deployment of the the passenger-side airbag. A simple search online will show you that this is not an isolated incident and must be a defect that acura should repair or replace.
Thr dash has develop thin cracks on or near the passenger airbag such that injury could result from sharp edges hitting passenger upon airbag deployment. The cracks were not the result of any accident or impact. Based upon internet searches, it is apparent that this is a prevalent problem with acuras. The vehicle has low mileage and is always garaged when not in use. Windshield screening is used when parking in the sun.
Dashboard has developed cracks that cross the passenger side airbag and may affect deployment. Crack is growing noticeably every week so should eventually cross the airbag and dashboard completely. Drivers side has more cracks but there is no airbag there.
Passenger side dash left edge of airbag is cracked from the front to the windshield. Hundreds of complaints with this problem, acura refuses to do anything. Do not want parts of dash to injure someone if in an accident and airbag goes off as the crack goes below the airbag towards the passengers.
Dash has cracked completely around passenger side dash air bag, which , in my belief, will effect deployment. This problem began occurring in the summer of 2016. I noticed the first crack one morning when I took the car out of the garage. I took the vehicle to acura service dept to ask for assistance, and was told that they would only provide $200 on an $2000 bill to replace the dash.
Vehicle airbag may be compromised. Dashboard has begun cracking across passenger airbag area. Two large cracks running from front to back of dashboard. As the owner of the vehicle I am very concerned for passenger safety should the airbag deploy. Vehicle has been garage kept and mileage is only 70k. This has to be a vehicle defect.
Dash around pass airbag indention is cracking badly from airbag to windshield and down to glovebox. Overnight it appeared while parked. I feel as if I was in a accident and airbag deployed pieces of dash could fly out and hurt someone. Car is very well taken care of. Acura says they will fix for $2000. Seems its a safety issue and should be repaired . Have a couple friends with same care all doing exactly the same thing
Dashboard is cracking exposing the passenger side airbag.
Passenger airbag is attached to the dash board. Dash board has multiple cracks that have a concern it may either not deploy when there is accident or plastic parts may fly off.
Beginning in may 2016, the dashboard of my 2016 acura tl began to crack. The crack propagates along the air bag deployment breakaway seam located on top of the dashboard. The cracking occurs on the passenger side of my car. This is location on the dashboard that the air bag deploys in the event of a substantial collision. My concern is that dust, debris and possibly condensation or liquid can drop into the air bag compartment thereby negatively effecting the deployment of the air bag or rendering the air bag inoperable. The cracking is continuing to propagate along the seam of the air bag compartment. Eventually, the entire air bag could be completely exposed.
My passenger dash board has cracked all the way around the air bag. I took my car to a repair shop and they stated it is caused because the air bags go up and down. I feel like this is a safety and should be looked into. I looked online and hundreds of peopled have experienced this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 acura tl. While starting the vehicle, the contact noticed a fracture in the dashboard near the passenger side air bag. The contact was afraid to drive the vehicle due to a possible air bag rupture. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who all stated that the air bag could possibly deploy. The dealer was notified, but the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000.
I have been having a battery drain problem. I charge the battery and it drains overnight. Battery was check out to be ok. This is the second battery that I bought in two years. I also bought a portable starter so as not to be stranded. Finally the bluetooth fuse was removed and draining stopped for about six weeks. I am noticing that the car when started in the morning is beginning to sound like the problem may be occurring again. Now the second issue is that the passenger dashboard side is cracked. I feared that the airbag would eventually deploy therefore I took it to the dealer. They assured me that it was safe and wrote on the paperwork I received that it was safe. On hot days, the split on both sides of the airbag are much wider and I can now see the shape of the hinge or bolt that keeps it together. Driving with this situation is very unnerving. Acura needs to remedy this issue. Those that go into my car are appalled and would never purchase an acura based on my vehicle.
Ii had an head collision accident but the airbag on the steer wheel didn't deploy leaving me sever neck head injuries
