Consumer Description
THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ACCIDENT RELATED BUT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.MY CAR BATTERY KEPT DRAINING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY JUST UNDER A YEAR AGO AND IT KEPT HAPPENING UNLESS I DROVE THE CAR EVERY DAY. FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE BLUETOOTH DEVICE UP IN THE HEADLINER WAS SHORTED OUT. GOT THAT FIXED BUT FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST ACURA FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN ONGOING FOR 5 YEARS! THE AIRBAG ISSUE HAS TO TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED, HORRIBLY, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND PROTECTED FROM THE SUN MOST OF THE TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2011. IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WILL BE MAJOR SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASHBOARD DAMAGE THAT WILL CAUSE EVEN GREATER INJURY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY ACURA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE FAULTY DASHBOARD MATERIALS.
