2008 Acura TL Air bags Problems

“I am the only owner with 39,000 miles on it. I moved to south florida 5 years ago. The dashboard has major cracks over the passenger airbag. I saw this letter sent in conjunction with the florida highway safety and motor vehicles department to remind florida owners of the takata recall and to schedule an appointment at their earliest convenience. I should be included in the recall. The vehicle was stationary.”

“I hit a pothole on the front, drivers side tire and the airbags on the side passengers side and seat deployed but did not inflate. I have seen several similar issues reported of the same thing happening. I am concerned that if it would have been an accident, my airbags wouldn't have inflated in that instance either and it wouldn't have helped at all. With them now being deployed and no use if I'm in an accident, I am no longer safe in this vehicle.”

“There is a long gash in the dashboard by the passenger airbag. Apparently this is a known issue based on internet searches and Acura has not issued any recall for the same even though it poses a potential safety risk. I reached out to Acura corporate and their response was that because my vehicle is outside the initial warranty period, there is nothing they can do. There are numerous online records of individuals with the same model year reporting this issue. …”

“6/16/15 I noticed a straight line crack on the passenger side dashboarrd. It looks like it is where the airbag is kept and I am extremely concerned. I have read others having the same problem online and wanted to report this problem and see if there is a recall. I have never had this problem on any of the honda's I have driven in the past 30 years, all of which were in central florida. I would appreciate a response.”

“Cracked dash board. Three separate cracks. I'm positive this is going to effect the airbag deployment. Clearly this is a know issue. I'd suggest getting an attorney. The car has not been in any type of accident”
