Consumer Description

2005 ACURA TL DASHBOARD HAS PRACTICALLY SPILT WIDE OPEN DIRECTLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT CRACKS VERTICALLY, AS WELL AS HORIZONTALLY, RIGHT OVER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. MY CONCERN IS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING WHEN THERE IS NOT A CRASH, OR IF THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY DURING A CRASH THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAG MAY MAKE IT COME OUT OF THE TOP OF THE DASH INSTEAD OF THE FRONT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND ACURA HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD CONSTITUTE A RECALL OF THE DASHBOARD. *TR
