Consumer Description

2005, 78,000 ACURA TL (GARAGE KEPT) CRACKS ON DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PASSENGER SIDE IN MIDDLE. THESE CRACKS START FROM THE WINDOW AND END ON THE GLOVE BOX AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN AIR BAG DEPLOYS? I AM AFRAID OF WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS THAT THE DASH WILL SEPARATE INTO SEVERAL SHARDS OF PLASTIC AND IMBED IN FACE, UPPER-BODY OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER. WORST-CASE SCENARIO IS THAT THE AIR BAG WILL BE DEFECTED, AS THE DASH-CONSOLE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND VIEWED PICTURES OF THE EXACT SAME DEFECT ONLINE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE ACURA TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS DASH DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE HURT OR WORSE DIE? *TR
