I am question why NHTSA campaign number: 14V700000 is only in high temperature or humidity areas where there are now incidents recorded all over with the takata air bags.

Airbag warning light on because of a malfunction with the right side airbag inflator, as in many other Acura vehicles, and as shown by the recalls on it. Also the airbag is not working because of the passenger weight sensor is showing as not working, and the airbag is not working because the driver seat belt sensor in the buckle switch is not working either, all affecting the airbag deployment and thus the safety of the cars passengers. Acura refuses to fix under warranty.

When driving the message comes on that the passenger side airbag is off.the message appears constantly. I have called Acura in torrance ca.the message went away, but it is constantly appearing. They gave me a reference number B012014-06-2701911. They said that they will investigate my VIN # to see if there is a problem. In the meantime my passenger side airbag is inactive.the message is still on my computer screen.I am worried I am taking the car in to the dealer.I think that Acura is trying to play down the seriousness of this. Thank you

The SRS light came on suddenly on day in January 2014 and after disappeared after two weeks. However, the message in the log showed a 92-22 error message and required me to take the car to dealership. As the light SRS had gone off I took the car in to dealership on April 4th for another recall issue and asked them to look in to SRS message. Mind you the SRS light was off when I took the car to the dealership. After they looked into the issue the SRS light came back on and now the dealership wants $1300 to replace the SRS system. I called Acura and they said the SRS is out of warranty and they suggested that they will not replace it. There is a technical service bulletin out for collecting all passenger air bags however they want to charge me. Really disappointed with the way both the Acura dealership in bethesda, md area and Acura both are treating the situation. I will certainly have to take this issue to the next step in investigating whether this is a systematic approach used by the company and dealerships to have consumers bare the burden of defective parts. More to come on this soon.

SRS light came on. Took car to dealership for repair. Was told it was fault code 92-21. Was told a new wiring harness could possibly fix the problem at a cost to me of $3000. Yes, that was three thousand dollars$$ now I have no SRS on my car an Acura feels its not there problem. I understand how warranties work and how wear and tear effect every car, but a wiring harness should not malfunction, especially on a safety system!! this has to be a manufacture defect!! thanks Acura for standing behind the safety of your vehicles!!! btw, this car has never had a accident.

My air bag on the passenger side is putting marks on the dash where it would deploy and I'm now fearing it will do so while in a driving situation.
