Problems with 2005 Acura TL AIR BAGS

Dash is cracking on passenger side.

I am the original owner of a 2005 acura tl with 49,650 miles on it. what started as a hair line crack on the passenger side dashboard is now a series of spider web wall of cracks all throughout the dashboard, in the past few months. as of late, the cracks have extended to the passenger side airbag area. and now the passenger side airbag light intermentinly blinks on /off both with and without a passenger occupying the seat. this is not an of wear and tear parts issue but a defective material issue by acura. furthermore, it is now a safety issue whether the cracked dashboard will play in the malfunctioning in the deployment of the passenger side airbag. i am in fear of getting behind the wheel of my acura tl now that airbag light intermittently switches on/off at random since the appearance of the cracks on the dashboard.

2005 acura tl, very well maintained. jun 2019, a crack appeared in dashboard on the right side of the passenger side airbag. airbag dashboard light came on 3 months later and stays on. dealer said they had never seen that before, but now i know this is a known problem. love the car, but feel acura needs to resolve this defect. the risk of air bag deployment is serious.

The airbag seat belt sensor or light is on all the time it's common for these types of vehicles of 2004 to 2008. it is a safety issue that should be resolved, i was told it wasnt under warranty or a recall because the vehicle is older than 10 years, but clearly on the website it says under 15 years it should be covered. i wanted to clear this up with acura service department but they wanted to charge me about $600 for a diagnostic test and almost $2000 for reinstalling an airbag and sensor, which i saw online it's a recall but my cars vin says i dont have a recall. i already did a diagnostic test thru my mechanic and have all the codes that states it is a recall what can i do? i bought this car used and the airbag seat belt sensor light is always on.

Air bag lights blinking off whether there's a passenger or.not.... my steering hard to turn when at low speeds .. power steering pump fine and no leaks

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 acura tl. the contact noticed the passenger side dashboard was cracked near the location of the air bags and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired and the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 149,000.

Taktata recall - have a 2005 acura tl that has been parked winters and inside a garage. pampered, polished, acura service always. was driving down the road and noticed my dang dashboard has the crack that everyone is always talking about. i cant believe that a car of this price is having a dashboard crack. the dealership wants over 2000 to fix it. my other car is nearly 20 years old and not one blemish or crack in the dashboard and it too is a honda product. c'mon with all the complaints and issues around the airbag do the right thing acura and good will fix this thing or you will lose not only me but the other 4 family members i got turned onto honda vehicles.

My airbag light keeps coming on and off randomly.

I entered my vehicle yesterday moring an noticed three two large crack across the dashboard starting at the winshield moving toward the passenger compartment. i did not notice the cracks when cleaning my car last week = sudden event occurance. a google search indicates many 2004 to 2008 acura tl's experience this issue. i am concerned about these cracks effecting the air bag deployment process and subsequent loss of passenger protection/safety during a collosion. google search results imply these cracks will continue to develop and spread across the entire dashboard due to a design or manufacturing defect. can you help us?

The dashboard in our acura suddenly had a crack in it from front to back on one side of the passenger side airbag, then a few days later the same size of crack appeared on the other side of the passenger side airbag. this car only has a bit over 40,000 miles on it even though it is a 2005 and has always been garaged and well cared for. we are concerned because the cracks are on each side of the airbag, because they appeared so suddenly, and because this brand is part of the taketa airbag recall although this model year was not recalled. we feel this is a safety issue, especially after by sheer accident we discovered that there are many complaints about this same issue in this brand and model and year of this car. another thing which concerns us is that this car was purchased and has always "lived" in fl. we are the original owners. the cracks appeared when the car was stationary.

My 2005 acura tl has been kept in top condition and care. last year (2018) the dashboard began to split along the passenger airbag location. the crack spread from the front all the way to the windshield. now i get the seat belt warning light anytime someone sits in the seat... indicating the airbag is not functioning. i have been told that the fix will cost over $3500.00. at this time the vehicle in great condition is probably only blue book priced around $4,500.00? shouldn't honda/acura have some financial skin in this game? it just so happens that my acura is not part of the takata recall! this is a safety issue!!!

Large cracks have developed throughout the material used in the interior of the vehicle including all of the dashboard. i am concerned that this will prevent the airbag from properly deploying.

Dash has cracked completely, disabling air bag system. the fact that this dashboard material has cracked all over has compromised the ability to deploy air bags safely. verified by mechanic. now this car is dangerous to drive. if i have a front end collision, i might die.

The dashboard on my 2005 acura tl has cracked over the past year. after researchng several people have had the same problem. the concern i have is not cosmetic, but safety. due to the cracks my mechanic told me that my air bag system has disabled itself. therefore if i am in an accident, i wont have that protection. acura refuses to take care of the problem with a recall. it can have deadly consequences.

There is a crack on the right hand (passenger) side of the dash very close to the air bag. i am scared that the airbag may explode at any minute. acura says there is no recall. this vehicle is kept in a garage and not driven everyday.
