Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 ACURA TL. IT IS MAINLY GARAGED KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. IT HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RUNNING FROM THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT APPEARED ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR BUT THEY WON'T COVER THIS. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS DUE TO INFERIOR MATERIALS AND/OR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS...WILL THE CRACKED DASH PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING PROPERLY? OR WILL THERE BE PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD ACTING AS LITTLE MISSILES POSING A THREAT TO THE OCCUPANTS? *TT
