The dashboard of my car started cracking around November of 2011, it is now completely covered in large cracks, including one right over the center of the passenger side air bag. My main concern is the fact that the dash is obviously not structurally sound, therefore in the event that the passenger airbag deploys pieces of dash will become sharp projectiles flying through the car.

I found a crack on the dash on the driver's side coming front to back approx 18 inches and then spreading sideways for over 2ft. I called Acura and they say its not covered because its considered wear and tear and that it'd cost approx $2000 to fix. Other people have complained and there's forums of people with the same model and year with the same defect at https://www.facebook.com/acuratldefectivedash and https://www.facebook.com/groups/acuratldashgroup/

Dashboard is cracking on its own, not due to normal wear and tear. Cracks are over the passenger side airbag and other parts of dashboard.

I have a long 5 inch crack on my dashboard that covers the airbag. It appeared out of no where and that is a well known issue that Acura is aware of but doesn't recall. It will get worse and im afraid it will affect the ability of the airbag deploying properly.

My dashboard has developed a foot long crack on the passenger side. I have talked to Acura office and only could file the case for me. Acura needs to do something about it. Cause it's several Acura TL with the same problem not just mine. I'm a very upset owner.

Cracks developed on dash board. Small at first but have grown over the past 2 years. I thought it was just a cosmetic problem but have read recently that this could be a safety issue with the airbags not deploying. Acura refuses to fix or remedy the problem even though I have provided appropriate care and maintenance over the years.

My dashboard has developed several cracks. I feel that is unsafe since it has a crack on the passenger side over the air bag. Acura needs to do something about it. Cause it's several Acura TL with the same problem not just mine. I'm a very upset owner. A great engine but low quality interior since my seats have also torn.

My dashboard has developed a crack starting from the drivers side extending to the passenger's side without a cause. The vehicle has not been involved in a motor vehicle accident and is worrisome to me.

The dashboard is cracking severely on the passenger side of the vehicle. The cracks are expanding rapidly, and it looks like an outline of the airbag compartment. I'm afraid that the airbag will deploy accidentally, and/or that the pieces of the dashboard will injure someone riding on the passenger side of the front seat during an airbag deployment. My wife is scared to ride in the car now.

Upon entering my car in the driveway to go to work on January 17th 2013, I noticed that the dashboard had a crack from the windshield to the glove compartment along the passenger side air bag. This crack was not there previously. The following day, I noticed several more cracks above the gauges and around the speakers on the driver's side. The car is meticulously maintained, weather protected (garaged), and driven very few miles. This condition must be a defect in the workmanship and quality of the cars' dashboard that Acura should resolve. I have never seen another manufacturer's car have issues like this.

The entire dash of my Acura has cracked and the cracks are everywhere. Over the air bags, near the air bags....everywhere!! what is going on!?

Bought this car in the dark. Next morning I discovered the entire dash on both sides is split. I don't have another 10K to spend on a vehicle but am terrified of driving in it with my children as the airbag seems to be where the spreading started. Please help!!!!

I noticed a couple of cracks on my dash. Since I noticed them there had become additional cracks. After doing research I discovered this is a very common problem for this make and model and the cracks occur in the same spots. The biggest concern if the crack over the passenger side airbag.

There was no accident or incident. I have complained about this to you over a year ago and nothing was ever resolved! our dash is cracking only where both air bags are on both the driver and passenger dash! this was not cased by anything but the manufacture. We really would like to see a recall on this. We have a 03 and 04 Acura TL. The 03 has a recall on the air bags and it doesn't even show any signs of damage. The 04 needs a recall before our airbags come out on us driving down the road, then we will sue Acura! I have pictures if you need them!

The dash board has cracked in multiple places over the passenger air bag. If the air bag was to deploy in an accident it would shoot sharp edged pieces of plastic at the passengers resulting in injury or death. It is happening to every 2004-2008 Acura TL. Something needs to be done. Some Acura dealers are covering some of the cost but it should be a recall for consumers safety. My wife will not ride in the car and will not allow our children as well. So I have a $50,000 luxury sedan that is useless. Please help us Acura owners. Thank you

Dashboard crack near airbag.

Got into my car and noticed my dashboard cracked in two places!! this is wrong!! Acura should take accountability for this!!!

My dashboard has a crack around the driver's side airbag. The car has never been hit or wrecked. This crack just appeared and the check airbag indicator is on. I've been reading on the internet that many many other owners of this car are having the same problem. I'm afraid the airbag will deploy without cause. Please check into this and let me know if there is a cause for a recall on this car. Thanks.
