2007 Acura TL owner complaints

Cracks over the passenger side air bags that extend over to the drivers side. Concerned of safety issues with the airbags deploying with the compromised integrity of the dash.

Original owner of vehicle, never wrecked or in any type of accident, reporting the dashboard is visibly cracked on july of 2016 directly on top of the passenger airbag causing a safety issue that could cause premature deployment or possibly failed or no deployment when necessary. This may cause injury or even death if the airbag does not deploy properly

While driving at a steady 35 MPH on route 9 in croton-on-hudson, new york the driver side curtain and front seat airbag deployed for no reason almost causing a catastrophic accident. The seat belt actuator is now locked rendering the seat belt useless. Acura towed the car to a dealer who uploaded all the computer codes and claims that the owner is responsible for the airbag replacement! The codes listed on the receipt are f3-11, 61-1, 81-55, 25-11. They list a defect code 03217. Customer service at Acura north america cited the condition of the 4 rims, (which are all scuffed at the edges), and scuffs on the bumper indicate possible reasons for air bag deployment. If this was possible, shouldn't the airbag have deployed when the scuffs occurred? There was no event that should have ca

The dashboard cracked right above the passenger side airbag requiring the dashboard to need replacing. Acura won't cover the expense despite the fact this is a safety hazard and very dangerous.

Passenger dash above airbag, is cracked. The crack began as a single perforation, coming from the windshield direction outward, directly above where the airbag is housed. One day to the next it just appeared. It began with a single crack in july 2017, now in nov 2017, an identical crack lays adjacent to the first, approx. 6 inches apart. I use a sunshade whenever I'm not utilizing a covered parking spot. I've never left my car without a shade during any hot days (leather seats get far too hot to sit on even wearing pants, let along shorts or skirts). I've taken my vehicle into 2 different Acura dealerships, who've quoted $2,000+ to replace, with zero help from Acura since there's not an active recall. I've had to restrict all passengers to sit in my back seat, which according to my grandmo

Power steering leak causing smoking, & squeaking along with difficult steering. There is a current recall on 2007 Acura tl but american Honda says it does not apply to the s-type. Not true, myself & several other tl-type s owners have had the same problem. If this leads to a fire, I will seek punitive damages against all parties who fail to address this high priority safety recall. *kb

The dash is prematurly cracking causing pieces to become potential projectiles if involved in an accident and the airbag deploys. The cracks may possibly also cause the airbag to not properly deploy. Also the powersteering pump is leaking fluid severely. There was a recall issued for every 2007 and 2008 tl, but specifically excluded the type s which is now showing the same symptoms and possible fire risk due to the leaks. The car also has premature wear on the motor mounts and now beeds motor mounts replaced.

I was at the dealership to get my car service and found out that my power steering hose is leaking which in 2004 -2008 Acura tl recall but since I have 2007 Acura tl type s it is not under recall. Well it seems like my hose deteriorated and got worn out after 63,000 miles and now there is a leak which could potential cause major damage and lead to a fire. Dealer is telling me its not under recall when it happens to be the exact same hose pipe. *tr

I was driving in icy conditions this morning when my Acura warning lights flashed on that the vehicle stabilization system and antilock brakes were not operating. I drove for a few more blocks and stopped the car to call the dealer. The service department said: "this happens under icy conditions. Turn off the motor and see if these systems come back up. If they don't you can bring it in." in fact, the systems did return to normal once the car was turned off and re-started. But, what if I was driving on an icy highway. Aren't antiliock brakes and vehicle stabilization systems precisely needed for just such conditions. If this is a "common problem" for the Acura dealer, shouldn't this be reported and the problem fixed in a recall? It makes no sense that these systems should fail under the
