Problems with 2004 Acura TL AIR BAGS

The dashboard has developed cracks in the area around the passenger-side airbag. does this constitute a potential safety issue affecting the airbag deploying properly or possibly shards from the dashboard causing additional injury? there has not been an accident but am concerned if a collision does happen in the future.

I was parked in an automatic carwash when my driver side airbag started dripping water on me. i'm afraid this could cause my airbag to deploy. i've also experienced crazy electrical issues intermittently that are not safe and i wonder if this is related. i also have a video if that is needed.

Simply driving down the highway when the passenger seat side airbag deployed. car has not been in an accident and did not hit a pothole. research online finds this to be a common problem, but acura does not appear to be concerned. airbag explosion alone was loud enough to almost cause an accident due to the scare.

The dashboard panel of my 04 acura tl is severely cracked. my concern is if in the event an airbag did deploy due to false sensors or even due to an accident, how much damage will this cause me? i understand that an airbag will annihilate the dash if activated and hopefully damages are minimal but that was tested with a dashboard panel that was fully intact. i'm a little concerned since i also have 98 forerunner and the dash panel is nearly emaculant. i feel there is a manufacturing defect in the plastic in these vehicles that should be recalled and fixed.

Dash is completely covered in cracks. i feel like this can't be safe with the airbags underneath the cracks. also, whenever a passenger is in my car the airbag light comes on.

A crack has appeared on the dashboard over top of the passenger airbag. worried about passenger safety and airbag effectiveness in the event of an accident.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. the contact stated that the front passenger air bag compartment was cracked and the air bag indicator remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to dch acura of temecula (951-428-2317, located at 26705 ynez rd, temecula, ca 92591) where the technician stated that nothing could be done except to cover that part of the dashboard. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was not provided. *dt

Air bag light is on and air bag is deactivated due to defective switch in seat belt buckle. manufacturer has lifetime seat belt warranty but will not honor the warranty because they claim that the switch is part of the air bag system and not part of the seat belt. so my wife and daughter has to drive a car with no air bags because honda/acura will not honor their warranty. should be a recall on this, as it is a common problem.

I have 2004 acura tl, about 105000 miles. airbag light was intermittent, now stays on, dashboard on top passenger side cracked several months ago. the vehicle has no previous airbag deployment. may cause airbag deployment, safety issue?

The passenger dashboard developed significant cracks overnight. looks like where airbag would deploy. at same time check airbag light came on.

Takata recall. 2004 acura tl dash board noticed a long crack then the passenger seat belt and air bag light no longer turns on. the vehicle was parked inside my garage on 6/20/17. checked online and many owners are experiencing the same issue. the crack if very close to the airbag and i am afraid it may deploy at any moment while driving causing it to be unsafe driving condition. some to most owners are receiving a recall or replacement for the erorr according to takata recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 acura tl. the contact noticed that the dashboard around the air bag area was cracked. the air bags and wiring were not exposed. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Dashboard cracking for no reason. cracks are in many places and occur near the dash air bag which is concerning if it every goes off could send sharp pieces of the dash into myself or a passenger (wife, daughter). photos can be taken if needed.

The dashboard area around my 2004 tl passenger airbag is cracking. when i did an internet search i understand that several tls between 2004 and 2008 have the same issue with cracking of the dash in the same area. for some reason none of these cars were recalled. i am concerned about safety. the crack started in 2017 but has gotten worse since then.

I was reading some other complaints here and this has also happened to my car. the dashboard is totally cracked surrounding the airbag and looks like the airbag will explode any time. i was actually just in an accident and it didn't explode, which makes me even more nervous. it looks horrible and is very expensive to replace. i have talked to several mechanics as well as a vinyl/leather repair place. the repair place won't touch it because it surrounds the airbag and could effect proper function. however, like i said, i was just hit in the front of my car and it didn't explode at all!
