“I was on a head on collision in my 2004 Acura TSX and the driver side airbag did not go off. I (the driver) was the only person in the car. Somehow the passenger side airbag deployed but not the driver side airbag, the reason for concern are two, first with not enough weight on the passenger seat, the airbag should not have gone off, (what if there was a small child seating there), and also the driver side airbag should have gone off. Also the driver side seatbelt did not protect me and it failed to provide any restraint and now is broken.”

NHTSA complaint #10291372, filed 2009-11, 54,000 miles

“My 2004 Acura TSX and I were involved in a front collision (the front of my car hit the rear end of a car in front of me. The front left side of my TSX struck the right rear side of a late model chevy impala. The impact set off my passenger side airbag, but not my driver side airbag. I was driving and struck my head on the steering wheel of my TSX. The seat belt did not catch me and airbag did not deploy. I sustained a concussion from the incident and feel that my airbag should deploy. …”

“The airbag or srs light is constantly on indicating that it will not deploy in an accident. This happens after starting the engine. The reason appears to be a failed electrical component in the seat belt buckle. This is a major safety issue that is and has been faced by a lot of TSX owners. Contacted Acura but they will not cover anything, either to replace the component or even to diagnose the exact issue. Their position is: seat belts still work and so it is not a defect. Note that the airbags still won't deploy with this parts defect. The dealer concurs with Acura. …”
