NHTSA Complaint #10863304 — 2006 ACURA TL

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM. I CHARGE THE BATTERY AND IT DRAINS OVERNIGHT. BATTERY WAS CHECK OUT TO BE OK. THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY THAT I BOUGHT IN TWO YEARS. I ALSO BOUGHT A PORTABLE STARTER SO AS NOT TO BE STRANDED. FINALLY THE BLUETOOTH FUSE WAS REMOVED AND DRAINING STOPPED FOR ABOUT SIX WEEKS. I AM NOTICING THAT THE CAR WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING IS BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE THE PROBLEM MAY BE OCCURRING AGAIN. NOW THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE PASSENGER DASHBOARD SIDE IS CRACKED. I FEARED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD EVENTUALLY DEPLOY THEREFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS SAFE AND WROTE ON THE PAPERWORK I RECEIVED THAT IT WAS SAFE. ON HOT DAYS, THE SPLIT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AIRBAG ARE MUCH WIDER AND I CAN NOW SEE THE SHAPE OF THE HINGE OR BOLT THAT KEEPS IT TOGETHER. DRIVING WITH THIS SITUATION IS VERY UNNERVING. ACURA NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THOSE THAT GO INTO MY CAR ARE APPALLED AND WOULD NEVER PURCHASE AN ACURA BASED ON MY VEHICLE.
