| This is a car that was bought pre-owned within the last two years. the car was bought in pristine condition. per acura's instructions, nothing is to be used to clean the dashboard except a microfiber cloth, which i have done. on oct. 06 2012, i got into the car and found a crack over the driver's side dashboard above the instrument cluster. additional small cracks are starting to form over the passenger airbag. i am concerned that the cracks may cause problems in the case of airbag deployment. *tr | |||

| A five inch crack was seen in the morning upon entrance into the vehicle. over time the crack has extended to an approximate ten to twelve inch crack which corresponds with the vehicle's passenger side air bag location. the crack appears less visible when the vehicle's interior is hot and becomes more visible when the interior of the vehicle cools. i am concerned about the appearance of the crack and the relation it may or may not have with the air bag. *tr | |||

| 2006 acura tl was purchased new in the fall of 2005. on or about 8/13/2012 we noticed an 8-inch crack in the passenger side dashboard that ran the length (and beyond) of the right side of the passenger airbag. two days later the crack had grown to 12-14 inches and another crack had formed on the left side of the airbag and curved around the bottom of the airbag (also 12-14 inches). i called the local acura dealership and they stated that we would need to bring the car in so they could take pictures and submit a report and we might be able to get a 30% discount on repair (we would end up paying close to $2000). i expressed concern that the piece would fly off when the airbag deploys causing serious injuries or that the cracks would cause the airbag to deploy on its own. the dealership stated that there was no evidence so far that it could cause injuries, but if the piece did fly off that it won't cause too much damage or injury. very disappointed that this possible safety issue is not being addressed or remedied by acura. *tr | |||

| Vehicle has developed a 16 long crack on the passenger side air bag to the right on the vertical air bag seam. when driven the crack appears to have grown, therefore we have stopped driving it completely until this safety issue is fixed. we fear that the passenger side air bag could be negatively effected by this crack either premature deployment or not properly deploying in the event of an accident. the car has always been meticulously taken care of and garage kept since we drove it off the dealers lot brand new. *tr | |||

| After 5 years of owning my 2006 acura tl, hairline cracks started showing up on passenger side dashboard. within a week i have 3 big long cracks all along and above the air bag area of the passenger dashboard. car is garage kept and there should be no reason why the dashboard is cracking up so bad. i am worried that this can affect the way the airbag functions in case of an accident. unacceptable for a luxury vehicle with only 75,000 miles on it. very disappointed. | |||

| I bought acura 2006 tl in november 2006 and i have noticed there is a crack on my dashboard where the passenger side air bag sits. i noticed on 8/6/11 and now after one week these cracks are started growing. i asked the dealer in pembroke pines and they said it would cost me 800 bucks which is way expensive. i am very disappointed from the manufacture that they wouldnt care for their customers. | |||
