ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 15, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES . THE REAR TIRES ON A 2005 ACURA TL LOST ALL THIR TREAD WITH ONLY 8000 MILE ON THE ODOMETER. THE TIRES SUPPLIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WERE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL42 P235 45 R17 WITH A TREAD WEAR RATING OF 260. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED BY THE ACURA DEALER AT 4000 MILES AND NO UNUSUAL WARE WAS REPORTED. THIS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED RAPID WEAR RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE BECOMING UNSTABLE ON WET PAVEMENT. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. THE EXTREME TIRE WEAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND WHEN INVESTIGATING THE VEHICLE STABILITY PROBLEM. THESE TIRES ARE EITHER TOTALLY UNSUITABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED FOR THE VEHICLE. ALL ACURA TL CARS WITH THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE TIRES REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT RECENT VEHICLES ARE BEING SHIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT HX MXM4 TIRES SO THE MANUFACTURER APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8000 miles.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 02, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK . INCIDENTS STARTED OCCURRING IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE OF CAR. TRUNK LID SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TENSION, SUCH THAT WHEN WE OPEN THE TRUNK ON EVEN A SLIGHT HILL THE TRUNK LID MAY STAY UP FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT SLAMS SHUT EITHER IMMEDIATELY, AFTER SOMETHING OF WEIGHT IS PUT IN THE TRUNK, OR IF A BREEZE COMES UP. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES TO MY WIFE AND ME, RESULTING IN THE TRUNK LID HITTING OUR HEAD OR SPINE WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PAIN AND A WOUND. IF THIS HAPPENED TO A YOUNG CHILD, IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. ACURA REPLACED ONE SPRING WITH A STRONGER ONE, BUT THAT HAS DONE ALMOST NOTHING TO HELP. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER ALSO CHECKED OTHER '05 ACURA TL MODELS AND THEY DID THE SAME THING. HE ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SAID HE WOULD REPORT IT TO ACURA. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO MAKE ANY FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SPRINGS. I COMPLAINED TO ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR REPORTS. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER TO JUSTIFY A RECALL OR TO EVEN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THUS I AM CONTACTING YOU. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND APPEARS TO APPLY TO ALL 2005 ACURA TL'S (AT LEAST A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE AT THE DEALER). WE NOW HAVE TO HOLD UP THE TRUNK LID WITH ONE HAND WHILE PUTTING ANYTHING IN THE TRUNK WHILE ON EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. *JB.2 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100 miles.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 22, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES . I'M VERY UPSET ABOUT THE OEM TIRES ON MY 2005 ACURA. I'VE HAD IT SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND COMPLAINED FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE FLAT SPOTTING AND VIBRATION. I COMPLAINED TO ACURA IN CALIFORNIA WHO HAD MY CAR IN TWICE SO FAR. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE VIBRATION IN MANY OF THEIR TLS BUT WON'T REPLACE THE TIRES. THEY PLACED A SMALL DAMPENING RUBBER BY THE ENGINE MOUNT BUT IT'S STILL VERY OBVIOUS AND VERY ANNOYING. WE AS CITIZENS COME TO YOU AS A LAST RESORT MANY TIMES TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS OVER SAFETY ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW ABOUT THESE TIRES FAILING, VIBRATING AND VERY PREMATURE WEAR FROM NEW CAR BUYERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, NOBODY THERE IS DOING THERE JOB! ACURA AND BRIDGESTONE SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE ALL BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL42 TIRES IMMEDIATELY.*JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA66295A.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 03, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES:SIDEWALL . I OWN A NEW ACURA TL WHICH HAS BRIDGSTONE TURANZA EL 42 235/45-17 TIRES AS OEM. FROM THE BEGINNING IT BECAME CLEAR THE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. THEY HYDROPLANE ON WET SURFACES, SKID EASILY ON RESIDUAL ROAD SAND. THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR SIDEWALLS FAILED--ONE WITH AN EGG SHAPED BUBBLE AND THE OTHER WITH A DEEP CUT--DESPITE NO EVIDENCE THAT I STRUCK A CURB OR POTHOLE ETC. BOTH TIRES WERE LIKELY TO BLOW OUT WITH CONTINUED DRIVING. SURVEYS BY TIRE RACK INDICATE THESE TIRES ARE ALSO VERY DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER, WHICH IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN HERE IN THE NORTHEAST WHERE I LIVE. THESE TIRES ALSO "COLDSPOT" AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE, SOMETIME CAUSING THE CAR TO STEER POORLY. THE DEALER COULD ONLY REPLACE THE BAD TIRES ON A "ROAD HAZARD" WARRANTY, DESPITE MY MANY COMPLAINTS TO BOTH ACURA AND THE PARENT COMPANY HONDA USA. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.ACURA TL 2005 problem was reported in SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 05, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES . I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 ACURA TL IN AUGUST 2005. MY CAR IS A NON-NAVIGATION 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODEL DELIVERED WITH BRIDGESTONE EL42 TIRES. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN THE RAIN, I NOTICED THAT EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS ON WET ROADS, THE TIRES DO NOT HAVE ANY TRACTION AT ALL. ON RAMPS AT 20 MPH THE FRONT TIRES LOOSE GRIP. AS OF TODAY, THE WEATHER IS GETTING COLDER AND THE TIRES ARE FLAT SPOTTING ON TOP OF THAT. THESE TIRES ARE ALL SEASON RATED AND DELIVERED ON A $35,000 VEHICLE. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE IN ANYTHING BUT DRY WEATHER, BUT ARE RATES ALL SEASON. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN MORE FEAR THE FIRST DAY OF SNOW. ACURA HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND REFERRED ME TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THEY DO DELIVER OTHER TL MODELS WITH MICHELIN TIRES THAT ARE RATED BY CUSTOMER MUCH MUCH HIGHER. WHILE THE EL42 TIRES PRESENT A BIG PROBLEM FROM WET WEATHER TRACTION, OVER FLAT SPOTTING TO PREMATURE WEAR, ACURA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET. HOW SHAMEFUL FOR OTHERWISE SUCH A GREAT CAR, PUTTING ON TIRES THAT WILL LAND THEM A LAWSUIT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AT ALL! IT IT THEIR CHOICE TO PUT THESE TIRES ON SOME OF THEIR CARS, SO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM!! *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4500 miles.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 27, 2005.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with TIRES . IN SPRING 2004 I PURCHASED AN ACURA TL WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 42 HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES. AFTER 6,500 MILES ONE OF THE TIRES HAD A FLAT. ALTHOUGH THE GARAGE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE FLAT, IT CONTINUED TO LOSE AIR AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TIRE. IT SEEMED ODD THAT A TIRE WOULD NOT BE REPARABLE AFTER THAT SHORT A USE, BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE LOCATION OF THE PUNCTURE AND WAS NOT A DEFECT. IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, AFTER PUTTING 14,500 MILES ON THE CAR I HAD A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER TIRE. ON THIS OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STOP. THE TIRE SIDEWALL HAD DISINTEGRATED AND WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE RIM. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK THE TIRE INTO A FIRESTONE SHOP WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER, TOM CURRY, ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD AND WAS NOT A DEFECT. HE INSPECTED THE TIRE FOR A PUNCTURE, AND AFTER NOT FINDING ONE, ASSURED ME THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE DISINTEGRATED SIDEWALL. I THEN ASKED HIM IF HE HAD EVER SEEN A TIRE THAT WAS DAMAGED IN THE ABSENCE OF A ROAD HAZARD, AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD NOT. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THAT BRIDGESTONE REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCTS. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA66284A.

I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY, AND I CALLED AAA TO TOW MY CAR. THE COMPANY THAT TOWED MY CAR HAD INSPECTED MY CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY AND INFORMED ME THAT I WAS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAD THEN CALLED AAMCO IN MAHOPAC, NY, THAT SPECIALIZES IN TRANSMISSIONS, TO GET A SECOND OPINION. AFTER MAKING A TRANSCAN, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED, WHERE IT CAUSED A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT AFFECTING THE TURBINE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE GEARS AND CONVERTER CLUTCH TO BREAK DOWN. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY CARS MADE BY HONDA AND ACURA. THEREFORE, I AM RESPECTFULLY ASKING YOUR ORGANIZATION TO INVESTIGATE IF THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 15, 2010.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE WITH ACURA. THEIR AIRBAGS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED YESTERDAY TO ME 2/15/2010. I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 83 IN BALTIMORE AT AROUND 6AM AND WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR WARNING, MY FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY 2005 ACURA TL. I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS SHOOTING OR MY TIRE BLEW OUT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, EXCEPT THE AIR BAG DAMAGE. IT DAMAGED MY DRIVER?S SEAT AND INTERIOR ROOF IN THE FRONT AND BACK. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, NOR DID THE AIR BAGS INFLATE. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE, BUT THE SEAT BELT WAS BROKEN. AFTER SETTLING AT WORK, I PLACE A CALL TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND TO NORRIS ACURA (ELLICOTT CITY, MD) WHERE I HAVE MY AUTO SERVICE DONE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ASKED ME TO CONTACT ACURA BECAUSE THERE MAY BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. ACURA ASKED ME TO BRING MY CAR IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY EVALUATED THE CAR AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THEY INSIST THAT I MUST HAVE HIT A POT HOLE, ICE OR SOMETHING. I HIT NOTHING. IF THAT WAS THE CASE AND I HIT SOMETHING, THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND INFLATED. THEY NEVER INFLATED, THEY JUST DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING ALSO NEVER DEPLOYED. SO IF THEY SAY THAT I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING, THEN THE AIRBAGS ARE STILL DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NOT HAVE PROTECTED ME IN AN IMPACT. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW WITH 3 DEPLOYED AIRBAGS (DRIVER'S SIDE) WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *TR.Mileage was 93000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA66255A.

FACTORY DASHBOARD DEVELOPED A 12 INCH CRACK OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AT 5 YEARS, 83,000 MILES. CRACK APPEARED SUDDENLY AS OPPOSED TO A SLOW PROGRESSION. NOT USED ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS BUT WAS EXPOSED TO HEAT AND SUN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF SOUTH FLORIDA.

THE ACTUAL AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER IS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER AND THE FINAL AMOUNT IS DECIDED BY ACURA HEADQUARTERS. TOTAL COST OF THE JOB IS APPROXIMATELY $1,700. ACURA ACCEPTED A GOOD WILL FOR MY VEHICLE IN THE AMOUNT OF $250, WHICH WAS MY INITIAL OFFER, AND REPAIRED THE DASH IN 3 DAYS WHILE PROVIDING A LOANER VEHICLE FOR THE DURATION OF THE REPAIR AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. *TR.Mileage was 83000 miles.

THE CRACK OCCURRED OVER A MONTHS TIME. THE CRACK IS FROM THE PASSENGER WINDSHIELD STRAIGHT DOWN OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. ESTIMATED CRACK MEASURES ABOUT 2CM WIDE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CRACK AND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS WE ALL HAVE THE SAME CONCERN, WHICH IS THE AIRBAG. AT SOME POINT THE CRACK IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GET LARGER, WIDER AND WILL EFFECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IF IT IS NOT DIRECTLY AFFECTED NOW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DUE TO THE SAFETY IT HAD SUCH HIGH RATINGS ON. THIS CRACK WOULD NOT BE SO MUCH OF A CONCERN IF LOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE DASH, BUT AGAIN IT IS DIRECTLY OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS CRACK IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION, IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT PUT TOGETHER AS IT SHOULD BE AND IT SHOULD BE AN OBVIOUS RECALL.

I TAKE CARE OF MY DASH, KEEP IT CLEAN, GARAGED, ETC. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE ARE TWO LONG CRACKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH AND RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DASH. I CHECKED AROUND AND IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, AND IS CONSIDERED A "LUXURY SPORT CAR." THE REASONS I AM CONCERNED IS BECAUSE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE DASH, COULD THEY ONE DAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING? OR NOT DEPLOY AT ALL WHEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT? ALSO, THIS REALLY DEVALUES THE CAR, AND THE APPROXIMATE COST OF REPAIR IS AROUND $1700. *TR.Mileage was 100000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA66225A.

I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2005 ACURA TL. IN APRIL, 2010, THE ACURA DEALER REPLACED BROKEN COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE (82,000 MILES). AFTER THE SERVICE, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED MY CAR FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD A VERY ROUGH RIDE. AFTER NUMEROUS DEALER VISITS, THEY REPLACED THE REAR STRUT ASSEMBLY. NONE OF THIS IMPROVED THE HANDLING OR RIDE. AT THIS TIME, THE DEALER STATED I HAD THE WRONG TIRES AND NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MICHELIN PILOT MXM4 TIRES. I HAD NEARLY NEW MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS TIRES AND NOT EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BUSHINGS. I CHECKED AT COSTCO, WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES, AND THEY INDICATED THAT MICHELIN PILOT SPORT PLUS TIRES WERE AN ACCEPTABLE UPGRADE FOR MY VEHICLE. THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT MENTION THAT THE ACURA SUSPENSION REQUIRES TIRES ONLY PURCHASED AT THE DEALER.

COSTCO AGREED TO PRORATE AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE DEALER RECOMMENDED TIRE.

UNTIL TODAY, THE DEALER NEVER STATED THAT MICHELIN PILOT MXM4 TIRES MANUFACTURED ESPECIALLY FOR ACURA WERE THE ONLY TIRES THAT WOULD WORK WITH THE ACURA SUSPENSION. I HAVE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS.

I CONTACTED ACURA¿S CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING 3 LARGE CRACKS THAT APPEARED ON MY ACURA TL 2005 DASHBOARD. I SPOKE WITH TWO REPRESENTATIVES, WHO DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH OTHER ACURA OWNERS. DURING OUR CONVERSATION, I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FORWARDED TO THE OFFICE OF DEFECT INVESTIGATION ALONG WITH A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OTHER DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS. THE REPRESENTATIVES SEEMED UNAWARE OF THE ¿SPLIT DASH¿ PRODUCT DEFECT, WHICH I FOUND UNBELIEVABLE. ACURA DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND I¿M SURE THAT THE CORPORATE OFFICE WAS NOTIFIED BY THEM WHEN ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS CAME IN. THE FACT THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES WOULD DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE WAS A BLATANT LIE.

WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOW LIT.

AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TO SAY ACURA WAS GOING TO MAKE A ¿GOOD WILL¿ GESTURE AND ONLY CHARGE ME 50% OF THE COST TO REPLACE IT, SINCE THE WARRANTY FOR THE DASHBOARD HAD EXPIRED.

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT.

I CONTACTED ACURA¿S CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING 3 LARGE CRACKS THAT APPEARED ON MY ACURA TL 2005 DASHBOARD. I SPOKE WITH TWO REPRESENTATIVES, WHO DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH OTHER ACURA OWNERS. DURING OUR CONVERSATION, I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FORWARDED TO THE OFFICE OF DEFECT INVESTIGATION ALONG WITH A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OTHER DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS. THE REPRESENTATIVES SEEMED UNAWARE OF THE ¿SPLIT DASH¿ PRODUCT DEFECT, WHICH I FOUND UNBELIEVABLE. ACURA DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND I¿M SURE THAT THE CORPORATE OFFICE WAS NOTIFIED BY THEM WHEN ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS CAME IN.

ACURA TL 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 30, 2011.ACURA TL 2005, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with AIR BAGS . I REAR ENDED SOMEONE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLOWED DOWN AFTER NOTICING THAT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HER HAD SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES. I WAS TRAVELING AT LEAST 40 MPH AND DID NOT NOTICE THE CAR IN FRONT HAD SLOWED DOWN/STOPPED AND I REAR-ENDED HER. HER CAR HAD A LOT OF REAR BUMPER DAMAGE. MY CAR SUSTAINED THE BRUNT OF THE FORCE AND WAS DAMAGED IN THE FRONT. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHILE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT WAS A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT. THIS ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY, WAS NOT FATAL, HOWEVER COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN. THIS HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY WITH CARS TRAVELING AT LEAST 65 MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SLIGHT TURN IN THE FREEWAY, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR CARS TO NOTICE AN ACCIDENT IN TIME TO STOP. MY CAR COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLLISION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE (EVEN AFTER IT'S FIXED) BECAUSE I VIEW THAT CAR AS A LOADED GUN AND I'M PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. IT'S MY PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND WE USE THIS CAR FOR ANY TRAVELING WE DO. MY SON IS MOSTLY IN MY CAR (SCHOOL, ETC.). I WANTED TO REPORT THIS SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO OTHERS AND, GOD FORBID, BE FATAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE INCIDENCES SO NO UNNECESSARY CONSEQUENCES OCCUR AS A RESULT OF FAULTY AIRBAGS. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):19UUA66215A.

PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK PAGE DEVOTED TO THIS PROBLEM (PHOTOS INCLUDED): HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ACURATLDEFECTIVEDASH?SK=WALL&FILTER=1 ACURA IS NOT RECOGNIZING THIS A POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFECT. I THINK THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND MAKE AN OFFICIAL RECALL AND REPLACE THIS FOR FREE. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ANY OF MY PASSENGERS DUE TO THE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD I AM HOLDING ACURA RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CARE. *TR.Mileage was 776800 miles.
