Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Problem started with a small crack on my dashboard by the passenger airbag(outline of the airbag started cracking). After about a week the crack grew all the way to the windshield and now I have 2 cracks about a foot long each perpendicular to each other. Also another crack closer to the middle of the dashboard appeared about a week ago. That crack is about half the size of the cracks by the passenger airbag.”
NHTSA complaint #10562176, filed 2014-01, 145,000 miles“2006 Acura TL? Whyyyyy is my dashboard cracked everywhere. Is this even safe. Same as all dashboard crack at airbag. I will let spend my extra time letting everyone know not to buy from honda/Acura they do not stand behind their product. There needs to be a recall on the dashboards.”
NHTSA complaint #10662309, filed 2014-12, 114,000 miles“Dash board started cracking about a month ago, a crack on the passenger side above the air bag, and now there are 2 to 3 cracks all along the dash board. I have owned this car for almost 3 1/2 years, and it has not been exposed to the elements for over an 8 hour period. I park this in a garage all the time. Honda should pay for this, I have never had a dashboard crack, even on cheap cars.”
NHTSA complaint #10452836, filed 2012-03, 75,800 miles“At the beginning of this summer my dashboard randomly started cracking above my steering column. The crack has extended all the way to the windshield and split off in one direction. Also the passenger side has started to crack around the airbag. An expensive luxury car like should not have these types of issues. I love this car, but now every time I get in I cant help but feel that I am driving a piece of junk.”
NHTSA complaint #10544596, filed 2013-09, 78,000 miles“I bought Acura 2006 TL in november 2006 and I have noticed there is a crack on my dashboard where the passenger side air bag sits. I noticed on 8/6/11 and now after one week these cracks are started growing. I asked the dealer in pembroke pines and they said it would cost me 800 bucks which is way expensive. I am very disappointed from the manufacture that they wouldn't care for their customers.”
