NHTSA Complaint #10743961 — 2005 ACURA TL

I HAVE A 2005 ACURATL IN GOOD CONDITION. LAST YEAR, A LONG CRACK APPEARED ON MY PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. A WEEK LATER A SECOND LONG CRACK APPEARED PARALLEL TO THE FIRST CRACK. LASTLY, ABOUT A MONTH AGO A THIRD CRACK APPEARED MAKING A HORIZONTAL LINE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND CRACK. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE. A SECURITY GUARD ONCE ASKED ME, WHAT MODEL WAS MY CAR. HE REPLIED, THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE 2005 ACURA TL'S. HIS AND HIS FRIEND'S CAR DID THE SAME THING, HE SAID. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH ONLINE. I FOUND MANY FORUMS AND BLOGS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED ACURA AND OF COURSE THEY CLAIM NO LIABILITY BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S AGE OR MILEAGE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG....UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 12/11/2017*CN
