Complaint Summary
AIR BAGS
Owner Narrative
THERE ARE EXTREMELY DEEP CRACKS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD. CURRENTLY, YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE HOUSING FOR THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. WHEN IT'S QUIET, I CAN SOMETIMES HEAR NOISE FROM WHERE THE FRONT AIRBAG IS LOCATED. VERY SCARY. I AM HESITANT FOR ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND AVOID IT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED UNTIL RECENTLY - BOTH AT HOME AND DURING THE DAY AT A COMMERCIAL GARAGE. THE CRACKS DEVELOPED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS GARAGED WHEN NOT DRIVEN. DISAPPOINTING THAT ACURA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS WIDESPREAD SAFETY HAZARD.
