My car caught on fire from under the hood. Me and my son was sitting in the car and it just caught on fire. I was scared and didn't know how it happen. I drove an hour and thiry plus minutes to my destination and when I got there. I parked my car and sat in it while I waited for the phone repair show to open up.
Was looking to sell my car soon and was looking on kelly blue books and turned out my car had an unresolved recall but I was never given a notice or any paper work from the current dealership I am buying from. I did notice the same exactly problem on my car that was listed on the recall information provided to me.
There is a long gash in the dashboard by the passenger airbag. Apparently this is a known issue based on internet searches and Acura has not issued any recall for the same even though it poses a potential safety risk. I reached out to Acura corporate and their response was that because my vehicle is outside the initial warranty period, there is nothing they can do. There are numerous online records of individuals with the same model year reporting this issue. I am concerned that this not being resolved poses a safety risk to my family and other occupants of my 2008 Acura TL which was purchased brand new. Thank you for your help.
After owning the Acura TL for 11 years, one day last week, I noticed 2 cracks in the dashboard on both sides of the passenger airbag. The car was parked on a city street. I am afraid that if the airbag deploys, pieces of the dashboard could fly out.
Cracked dash board. Three separate cracks. I'm positive this is going to effect the airbag deployment. Clearly this is a know issue. I'd suggest getting an attorney. The car has not been in any type of accident

The handsfree link stopped working in 2016. I consider this a safety hazard in itself since that was the main reason I purchased a vehicle with hfl. The battery then started dying when I did not drive the car for 2-3 days causing frequent battery replacements. It's escalated to where now with a brand new battery, if I do not drive the car in a 24 hour period, the car is dead the next day.
I have a 2008 Acura TL-S, it is garaged at night and I do my best to take care of it. The other day I developed two cracks running from the windshield to the glovebox, along the edges of the airbag. I didn't notice them until I got home last night, but they are quite noticeable. I have read about several other complaints O this happening to Acura's and I am wondering why and what can be done about this. Will this impact the airbag operations and maybe impact was a bad choice of words.
9/30/2017 Acura TL 2008, 4door sedan, burst into flames inside garage, just minutes wtihin parking the car from driving. Burnt car completely causing house fire.
Sept 2016 was having an issue with the SRS light remaining on constantly. Seat belt buckle under recall, had that replaced'that did not fix the problem. July 2017 now the dashboard on passenger side has a deep straight crack. I have done research and hundreds of other Acura TL have this issue. The airbag is in that dashboard right where the crack is. Acura refuses to acknowledge a safety issue and will not repair, replace or recall. I have kept the car immaculate, I have regular service and a Honda/Acura repair shop. I understand Acura TL specifically 2008 has this problem around the country in a variety of climates, and whether the car has been garaged or not. It's a design flaw. It is endangering my passenger. Also, if you find a junk part and replace the dash, apparently the replacement dash will crack also and the SRS light will be on and the airbag compromised again.
3 issues 1) two vertical cracks overnight on passenger side dash at air bag location-horizontal crack forming-fear of airbag deploying while driving causing me to wreck-should be recall-I no longer feel safe for fear or accidental deployment 2)bluetooth module failure-two batteries and alternator replaced-now have module disconnected-safety issue of not being able to use hfl while driving 3)since buying car in 2008, complained about drivers door closing back on my leg when I open it-have avoided injuries so far-as others stated, I have to kick door open or hold foot on it when exiting vehicle from what I have read many 2008 TL owners are having the same issues -

I dont have $2000 to replace a dash that I caused no part in the failure of. If my airbag deploys on its on while I am driving and I have an accident, there will be a lawsuit.
As my car sat in a parking garage, not being driven, my dashboard developed two huge and deep cracks right on top of where my passenger airbag is. I called Acura customer service and was told that this is not a safety issue and since there is no recall anywhere on my vehicle that I would have to cover the entire cost of replacement. I do believe this is a safety concern considering the cracks are right on top of my airbag and do not know how this could affect the possible deployment of the airbags if needed.
