| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 2006 acura tl was purchased new in the fall of 2005. on or about 8/13/2012 we noticed an 8-nich 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. | |||

| 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, therefor 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. | |||

| On or about april 2,2012 i noticed a crack in the dash on the passenger side near the airbag. 3 weeks later another crack on the drivers side dash. went to acura dealership after reading all the complaints and they offered to pay 90%. fast forward to the week of may 22-28 there is now cracks outlining the passenger airbag all the way around it. the sides are starting to curl up and now 3 more new cracks on the drivers side dash as well. this all started 2 months ago at which time i had absolutely no cracks at all. i take very good care of my car and i also use a custom made sun visor every single day.i feel with all these complaints that there has to be some sort of defect. i'm not happy having to pay 150.00 of my measly unemployment check to pay for this. | |||

| Dash board started cracking about a month ago, a crack on the passenger side above the air bag, and now there are 2 to 3 cracks all along the dash board. i have owned this car for almost 3 1/2 years, and it has not been exposed to the elements for over an 8 hour period. i park this in a garage all the time. honda should pay for this, i have never had a dashboard crack, even on cheap cars. | |||

| This vehicle was bought brand new in september 2006, in the past two weeks the dashboard has started cracking open where the passenger side airbag would deploy. the cracks have been getting progressively worse and the dealership is saying i may or may not receive assistance for the repairs which cost approximately $2,400. this is completely unacceptable for a 5 year old vehicle and they seem to want to blame it on the hot florida temperatures even though i have owned approximately 7 other honda/acura products in florida and never had this issue before | |||
