I have had my 2012 Acura TL to the dealership and told the tech about the airbag sensor being displayed since I bought the car. I had it to the dealership for that one reason one time and the other 2X's, I just mentioned it as I got my oil change and cabin filter. Nothing or no one is in the seat; however it keeps blinking off and on. I have someone in the front seat of my car a lot and I hope that it is not a defect in airbag that would injure someone. I hope it would deploy if it needed to. I have 60,000 miles and have had sooooo many problems with this car. Just had to replace alternator (first time)and battery(for the second time in 2 years). Acura will not do anything as it is already out of warranty. In warranty Acura customer service is great. Out of warranty'they don't really care. Thank you for your time.

TL 6-cyl

  • 100 miles
The passenger side front seat in this vehicle is so loose it rocks back and forth and from side to side. It feels as if the seat is going to collapse in the event of an accident and injure the person in this seat, as well as any passenger seated behind it, in rear passenger seat. I have had the seat inspected by Acura dealership, and sent multiple letters to both Acura and Honda motor co. They claim this is a normal "characteristic" of this passenger seat in this car (make/model yr). The service manager at the dealer indicated that the problem may have something to do with the weight sensor on the passenger side air bag control (the driver seat is stable and fully supportive). No other car seat that I have ever sat in feels this loose and has this much motion to it. It feels really unsafe and makes the passenger in this seat experience motion sickness. Can you please conduct an investigation into whether or not this passenger side front seat can hold up in the event of an accident?
