Consumer Description

MY 2004 ACURA TL HAS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. I'VE SEEN CRACKING IN MY DASHBOARD THAT WAS DISGUISED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SINCE 2007. IT ORIGINALLY LOOKED LIKE THE CRACK WAS PART OF THE DESIGN ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, THE CRACKING HAS SPREAD ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD TO THE PASSENGER SIDE COMPRIMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FEATURE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING FROM ACURA CORPORATE FOR AN OBVIOUS DASHBOARD DESIGN FLAW FOR 2004-2006 ACURA TL MODELS. ACURA CORPORATE SAYS THAT CRACKED DASH IS A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAG DURING NORMAL DEPLOYMENT AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL PROTECT MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPENDING ACCIDENT. *TR
