Problems with 2000 Acura TL AIR BAGS

The airbag light came on (srs) one morning and has been on since.

Trasmission has had to be replaced twice. airbag light has remained a problem since about a year after i purchased it.

I was going about 75 on the highway and out of no were the srs light comes on i get home and call my mechanic and he says to take the module out and bring it to him and it turns out its non repairable i sent it to one more person for repair and it came back non-repairable so i consider this a big safety issue because if i got in a accident my airbags would not work and i never had a accident or fire of flood in the car before the car is still in new shape sense 2000.

Takata recall. nothing has happened - yet! recall. would like airbag replaced.

Takata recall and electrical system: air bag deployed right side of car electrical system malfunctioning right side before the crash. because of deployment of right side air bag it caused the driver side air bag to be deployed. car was exiting highway ramp when airbag deployed. documented ins estimate avail.

Trasmission went out.while driving; recall mailed to me by service team on timing belt and water pump.

The srs light stays on. does not reset. malfunction in air bag system. there needs to be a recall.

Today june 2, 2013, my 2000 acura 32tl had sudden acceleration that resulted in a crash with a parked vehicle on the road while i was backing out of the driveway. after hitting the parked car, i tried to pull the car forward and tried to stop. instead, it started moving forward uncontrollably, even though i was pushing on the brake pedal. i lost control of the vehicle to stop. it took control and started moving forward through road, driveway and neighboring lawn. i steered for about 100 feet and hit the corner of the neighboring home and finally stopped. it was for about 5 seconds of frightening moment that my family and i went through. it was sunny and 85 deg f. the car had severe damages on back and front bumpers. tire marks on the road, driveway, and lawn, plus property damage to the corner of the house were sustained. front airbags deployed and hit my wife and i in the face. i am wondering if there are ongoing investigations by nhtsa on similar incidents. please advise. *tr

As i was waiting in my car , for my sister to get in . all of a sudden the ab light appears on my dash board. the second incident happen soon after that , as i was driving on the freeway , my car just came out of gear and wouldn't pass 1st gear . the d5 light started to flash on my dash board also. by then i had made it to the curb of the freeway,thankfully . i was really frighten cause i had my 8 month old baby in the back seat. then it started to over heat as i was at a stop already. *tr

Airbag deployed while car sitting still in park (in my garage). i was starting the car in my garage when the passenger side - side airbag (aka; side curtain airbag) mounted in the passenger seat deployed without cause or reason!!!! *tr acura looked at the car for full week and returned the car to me with no explanation. later, i called them and it was then that they told me (over the phone) that what i said was impossible, airbags don't just go off without reason. now they are calling me a liar. acura gave the response always given; acura then used their normal excuse (i found multiple examples of this). they then said the airbag must have deployed due to minor scratches they found underneath the front underside of the car (this car is a no accident, one owner car and is pristine all over including under the car) so: they stated that a) i had to have been driving the car (calling me a liar) and b) that i had to have hit a pot hole or something in the road thus causing an airbag to deploy (in an unoccupied seat), as though that would be a good reason for an airbag to deploy! so: airbag explodes sitting still, in a seat with no one in it (again; the passenger seat was unoccupied and empty of any objects or personal effects). so: an airbag goes off sitting still, with no one sitting in the seat!!) and acura again uses the line they always use with many customers who have had unexplained airbag deployments) meaning; "scratches under the underside of an acura cause airbags to deploy)! i swear the statements herein are factual, although, if you knew me, you would know that this is all truthful. closest similar event; complaint # 763720;

We can take the key out of the ignition when the car is in gear causing the car to roll. this is one of the things that is being recalled. also our srs light is lite on the dash. our auto manual indicates this is a airbag problem and needs attention by a dealer. we called acura (11/03/2014) at 1-800-382-2238 and talk to danelle. we were told our vin number does have a recall for these items. do we have to have to pay for this because our vin number isn't on the list? if other acura's with our year and model is having a problem why isn't ours on the recall list? *tr

Srs light comes on when passenger raises up from seat back. dealer does not repair but just turns light off, which will come back on shortly. didn't seem to be much of a problem until service advisor said air bags do not work properly when light is on. if that is the case, it seems it should be fixed instead of covered up. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 acura tl. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and excessive force was required to depress the pedal. additionally, the contact stated that when pressure was applied to the front driver or passenger side doors, the air bag warning light illuminated. the failure occurred on several occasions. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I tried to put my car in reverse after starting it one day to no avail. i placed a screw driver in the shift lock position as the owner's manual stated. i called the acura dealership and told them the problem. they didn't have a loaner car available and asked me to come in a day later. on my way to the dealership for my appointment the next day, i had complete brake failure while going 65 miles an hour on a tollway. the next 14 miles i tried to get the car to slow down. i tried to shift to neutral and put the car in accessory, but nothing worked including the emergency brake. in fact the car accelerated without me ever touching the accelerator. finally i exited off the highway and purposely wrecked the car to avoid injury to others at such a high rate of speed. the car was on fire when i finally stopped. luckily i was alive. i broke my foot and popped 2 vertebrae in my neck. *tr

Iintermittent airbag system failure on acura 2000tl. the yellow light indicator _x001c_side airbag_x001d_ turn on the multiple times during the trip, stay on for a couple seconds and disappear after that. when the yellow light "side airbag" is on the airabag system is disabled. *ak

Srs system failure due to faulty part.*mr (nar) the consumer feels that the failure was due to a faulty part or design not wear or tear. the charges were unreasonably high due to poor design. an entire seat assembly should not have had to be replaced to fix an srs sensor. *cb

The airbag system has failed 3 times in 16 months as indicated by the srs warning light on the instrument panel. the system's availability during a crash is questionable. *ak

Purchased 2002 acura brand new. during an accident, the driver air bag did not deploy during crash. the passenger air bag deployed when no one was in the passenger seat during crash. acura 3.2 tl was featured to be a safe vehicle in advertisements. it had front and side airbags. acura is combining target markets for approach to safety, best value for high end car, upper-end demographics. for a price of over $28,000, vehicle should be be flawless. let the buyer beware. consumer product safety commission should issue a recall. *ak

While driving air bag light will come on unexpectedly. dealer was contacted, and srs safety resistant had been reseted few times, but light still comes on. please provide more information. *ak

While in motion, consumer was involved in a collision. the air bags failed to deploy at the time of the incident. *jg

Tthink twice and long before buying a 2000 acura 3.2 tl.we are the second owners of this make/model/year. we and the original purchaser have experienced the following issues:on september 25th, 2001, at 20129 miles, the first owner took the automobile to an acura service department because the srs (supplemental restraint system) indicator light had come on.the shop replaced the 'opds unit' but provided no explanation as to why the warning indicator had come on. at 26467 miles, the original purchaser brought the car to the dealership because the brake indicator light had come on.brake fluid was added, but no reason for the light's illuminating was given.we purchased the vehicle with an odometer reading of 25807 miles.shortly thereafter, the srs light came on and stayed on.at 26467 miles we brought the vehicle to an acura dealer.shop personnel checked the srs indicator and consequently ordered yet another 'opds' unit.while in the shop, the seal around the front windshield,which had puckered up,also was repaired.some three weeks later we returned to the dealership to have the opds unit replaced.no explanation was given for the problem.in the interim,the brake warning light had come on,and the brake reservior cap was changed as well.less than two months have passed:the srs light is again constantly on.we are about to schedule an appointment to have this looked at, and also have the trunk light inspected, since it doesn't work.the trunk light problem is not due to a blown fuse or burned-out bulb; i checked that myself.having the srs warning light come on,together with the dealer's inability to explain or rectify the situation,puts one in something of a quandry:is it a false warning,will the airbag(s) deploy in a crash? or is it an indication of a problem and will the airbag(s) not deploy when needed? the acura 3.2 tl is not an inexpensive car, and one would expect it to require minimum attention while providing a high degree of reliability and safety. it doesn't.
