2007 Acura TL Body and structure Problems

“Initially I observed a airline sized crack on passenger side of the dashboard right on airbag. Slowly it enlarged and now I see another crack around the same area. When I checked online, I found that it's not only me but several others have the same issue with Acura tls. When I went tithe dealership they say the repair cost is about 2,000 usd.”

“The dash board cracked on my 2007 Acura TL. The cracks are above the steering wheel and around the passenger airbag. Acura said they will not replace this because the car is out of warranty. This is obviously at no fault or abuse and it is clearly a defect that such a new car has this problem. I have read numerous posts online about this same problem and it should be classified as a manufacturer defect.”

“Well today I took my Acura TL type s for a carwash as usual and as I was parking on the shade I notice a small crack on the right hand side front passenger airbag on the dashboard and as I drove home and park in the garage the crack had gotten bigger and now I'm scared that the airbag might just pop out anytime.

I use a sunshade whenever I'm not utilizing a covered parking spot. I've never left my car without a shade during any hot days (leather seats get far too hot to sit on even wearing pants, let along shorts or skirts). …”

“I recently purchased a 2007 Acura TL type s with 42378 miles on the odometer. Upon getting home, I found out that the dashboard was cracked in three (3) places. Fortunately for me, the car was still under warranty so I took it in to Acura dealership to get the dashboard replaced. While at the dealership I found some other customers with the same issue. I later found out that this was common problem with the Acura TL especially in the southern states. Another issue I'm experiencing is with the 3rd gear which I also found out to be common with the acuras. …”
