2005 Acura TL owner complaints

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 knowl

Dash board began to crack alongside the right of the passenger dash airbag. The passenger side dash airbag is increasingly noticeable. Since june of 2014, the entire dashboard has continued to crack and is now significantly damaged due to the continuation of cracking that has evolved from the initial crack along side the airbag. Fayetteville, arkansas Acura service department insists that there is not an issue with the model & that the airbag/dash damage is not the responsibility of the vehicle manufactures to replace & that there has not been a recall issued for my make/model/year nor VIN #. *tr

2005 Acura tl purchased with only 88,000 miles in above excellent (purchased from a Porsche mechanic) condition. The dash over the passenger side airbag started cracking around 100,000 miles and after reading all of the 'Acura forums' have discovered this is more than common with Acura owners around the u.s.a. Dash cracks anywhere near an airbag are more than alarming.

I am happy that I am not alone with this hazardous problem. I own a 2005 Acura tl base and my dashboard where the airbag is suppose to deploy has cracks in it. It seems all 04-05 Acura tl models are starting to notice these cracks. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 Acura tl. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked near the air bag area. The contact was concerned of possible erroneous air bag deployment. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 74,000.

Three years after buying my tl brand new I noticed small cracks along the passenger side air bag. Since then, they have only gotten worse. My entire dash has cracks on it. It would maybe make sense if my car was parked outside all of the time, but it is in the garage where the elements cannot get to it. I have done some research and found out that other people have had the same problem also. When I pay $40,000 for a car I do not expect these things to happen. I would really like to know how I can remedy the situation. So, if you can give me any ideas that would be great. I see this is obviously a common problem and one that Acura does not want to take care of because of the expense. I will definitely not buy another Acura if this is the case. I truly thought I was getting a sup

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 Acura tl. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked entirely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that there were no recalls for the failure.

The manufacturer was notified by the contact who advised that the dashboard was not a defect and that the repairs would be at the owners expense. The failure mileage was 97,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 Acura tl. While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the rpms increased, but the vehicle failed to accelerate.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

6 speed manual transmission is synchronized poorly making it difficult to shift into 3rd & 4th gear smoothly and sometimes will pop out of gear when you think you have shifted sufficiently. *tr

I was backing out of a spot, as I usually do, the car took longer than usual to shift from park into drive (about 3-4 sec). Drove normally for about a half-mile, stopped at a red light, went to accelerate, and then the transmission wouldn't come out of 1st gear and revved super high. Pulled over, then drove to my mechanic about a half-mile back at about 8-10 MPH with my caution lights on. He took it for a test drive and said it seemed fine (I.e. The transmission didn't slip), but what I explained to him sounded like the onset of transmission failure). He suggested something could have gotten lodged in there and blocked fluid flow, and when I turned my car off and he started it, that it could have fallen out before his test drive. Ever since "the incident" the transmission is very slow up-s

I recently replaced my tires with goodyear response edge carbon fiber sidewall tires. These tires played havoc with the vas system. The steering wheel could not be centered. In fact the centering changed throughout a drive. Cornering, on acceleration, the car turned abruptly into the corner, on breaking the car turned out of the corner without moving the wheel.

Engine noise: a vibration and low buzzing sound in 5th gear caused by normal engine vibration at around 1,500 RPM, requiring a vibration damper near the rear motor mount. Also causing vibration on steering wheel at normal highways speed limits. And causing tires to cup and get bald. Very dangerous to drive on freeway causing steering to be very erratic due to vibration from front and rear broken engine mounts. Check-engine light: the check engine light may illuminate and a trouble code for the coolant sensor may be stored, but the problem is most likely a software glitch in the engine control module brakes: brake pedal may feel spongy or have excessive travel due to air in the brake lines requiring replacement of the vsa modulator.

Brakes intermittently do not work. Usually happens when turning and slowing down or going down a hill and stopping. Has happened multiple times and has been in for service 4 times. The third time in the shop the ABS was repaired due to an internal leak. Apparently another car had the same issue. However, even after the repair, the car is back in service center for lack of brakes after approx. A month after repair. *jb

Car is leaking oil gradually. Puddle in amber brown color on the garage floor

The car is been sitting for about 4 days and the battery is dead again. This has been the issue since I bought the car. It was taken to the dealer when this first happened and I was assured that the problem has been fixed. However, over the years I have replaced numerous batteries. Internet research proved that the problem is with hands free system and Acura knows about the problem for long but has done nothing to fix it. *tr

No accident - noticed on or about 12-26-2008 that passenger side headlight, when on, displaying a purple like tint- low-beam. 12-29-2008, bulb/light system failed. Dealer - 12/31/2008 states igniter, inverter and possible bulb failed. Repair 1000.00 plus. Inverter and igniter 700.00 + without bulb. Bulb 200.00 +. This is a very expensive repair for a 3-4 year old dealer only vehicle parts service. *tr

Michelin pilot hx mxm4 tire failure complaint against Acura and michelin tire corporations**cc the right front tire dislodged completely off of the rim. The portion of the tire which comes in contact with the road surface completely separated from the remainder of the tire.

The consumer also experienced problems with the drivers side window. The regulator a

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 follo
