Air bags: “Takata recall. No open recalls on my vehicle. Prior recall work on air bags was completed in dec 2016.

I've seen it light up as off with a passenger in the passenger seat.”

NHTSA complaint #11063695, filed 2018-01, 73,500 miles

Suspension: “Acura is not standing by its brand with the known faulty active damper system on certain Acura years/models. Acura refuses to pay claims against its own policy on the TSB released. My vehicle has an issue with the active dampers and all 4 struts need replacing at a cost of about $4000. Acura will not help me stating the extended warranty expired may 8, 2017. However they include verbiage of 7 years after purchase regardless of date, my car was originally purchased feb 2011 well within the 7 year time frame. …”
