2006 Acura TL Problems

My Acura (VIN: [XXX] ) experienced a non-collision spontaneous deployment of the side airbag while the vehicle was completely stationary. There was no impact, no crash, and no triggering event. This is a serious safety defect that could have caused significant injury or loss of vehicle control had the car been in motion. This vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Recall 19V182000 involving Takata airbag inflators, but the recall repair was never completed, and the recall now shows as closed. It is unclear whether the recall was closed in error or whether the inflator or a related airbag component failed due to the unresolved safety defect. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms prior to the deployment. The airbag system gave no indication of a problem. The deployed components remain in the vehicle and are available for inspection. The issue has not yet been inspected by Acura because, despite opening a safety case over two weeks ago, the manufacturer has not assigned a case manager. Insurance has been notified, but no manufacturer or dealer inspection has occurred yet. Given the prior Takata recall, the incomplete repair history, and the spontaneous deployment, this failure represents a potentially ongoing safety hazard that requires immediate investigation and corrective action. I attached pictures all the way around the car so you can see where the airbags are deployed and there is no damage to the vehicle because there was no collision.

CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS TO SEE ASSUMING IT TO BE DEPLOYED ANYTIME SOON RESULTING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND INJURING THE PASSENGER FOR NO REASON.

ACURA WILL NOT HELP ME WITH DASHBOARD. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $3000 FOR A NEW DASH. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE , ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT BY ME AND ONE OTHER OWNER! CRACKING ALL OVER DASH IS GOIN TO CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO HURT SOMEONE IF DEPLOYED! NO DASH CRACKS ALL OVER THATS KEPT INSIDE. THIS IS HAPPENING TO EVERY ACURA TL 04-08 MODEL! REPETITIVELY ! THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY COASTAL AREA OR SALT OR SAND OR HEAT AT ALL! IV OWNED MANY CARS HIGHER IN MILLAGE THAT WERE KEPT OUTSIDE ONLY AND NEVER HAD CRACKING DASH PROBLEM! IV SEEN OLDER CARS THAT WERE EXTREMELY OLD IN AGE AND KEPT IN HEAT THAT HAD MINOR CRACKS BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY ON NEWER VEHICLES KEPT NO WHERE BUT INSIDE THE WHOLE TIME SINCE CAR CAME OFF PRODUCTION LINE! ACURA ACKNOWLDGED THE PROBLEM BUT NO HELP WAS OFFERED THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND #3000 TO HAVE A NEW DASH INSTALLED. THIS IS CLEARLY POORLY MADE MATERIAL BY ACURA PROBABLY FAKE CARBON FIBER OR CHEAP PLASTIC. BUT THEY ADVERTISE THEIR VEHICLES AS "WORLD CLASS, LUXURY, ETC THEIR ADS GO ON AND ON ABOUT QUALITY!"

Transmission shifts down very hard, once causing the car to lose traction and skid approximately 10 feet on the highway. The car luckily regained control and I avoided collision. I have seen many other reports of hard shifting in this car.

My transmission failed at 105,000 had to pay 4500 for a new transmission, I’m sure they have had complaints about the Acura TL through 2004-2008. I am currently on my third transmission and now the new one is hard shifting already.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I WAS COMING TO GET READY TO STOP I STARTED TO BREAK, AT THAT TIME MY BRAKE SYSTEM FELT LIKE I WAS SLIPPING ON BLACK ICE YOU COULD SAY . BUT THE ROAD WAS DRY ! MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP NORMAL I SOMEHOW BY THE GRACE OF GOD GOT IT PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET ! MY ABS AND VSA AND THE TRIANGLE WITH ( ! ) WITCH IS ORANGE ALSO ALL CAME ON . I SHUT MY CAR OFF ! AND HAD IT TOWED HOME .. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE LOOK AND SHOW ME BEHIND MY TWO FRONT TIRES THAT THE SPEED SENSORS ARE ON BOTH SIDES DETERRATED AND THE BOLTS ARE MISSING THAT CONNECT EVERYTHING IN PLACE . I HAVE LOOKED UP AND SEEN RECALLS ON THIS SAME SITUATION I AM NOW GOING THREW !

I was told by a mechanic that this 2006 Acura TL I bought from Joe's Garage here In Clovis Ca was a car I do not want to be driving. Now when purchased from Joe's Garage he stated he put engine didn't say new or used, He also said the car was practically brand new because previous owner was a high school kid who assume he cracked his radiator and was not the problem, but the kid bought a new car and left Acura there since. Since the purchased I had nothing, but engine problems told Joe never responded I did my own research come to find out Joe's business licensed was suspended and that where he got my car Acura to pass smog of course was a smog business already being investigated for passing car illegally. So I took my Acura to Acura dealer here In Fresno Ca I was told all motor mounts were cracked so they replaced all motor mounts and installed used motor charging me $7,000 at that time I was in the process of suing Joe's Garage however since I have had no car emotionally distress because I paid $2700 for Acura trusting this business man come to find out its Salvaged vehicle now you can understand how frustrated I am not including the losses in my life back to back not been able to just mourn rest etc because of cruel business companies intentions. I'm not asking for much all I want is for you to give Acura Dealer here in Fresno ca the ok to make sure my car is or passed the safety and drivable test making sure everything on car is safe to drive at no cost to me. I have grandkids who are my world and I need to have a good reliable car for them Nathan here at Acura Dealer called me yesterday asking me if I had money, I said no I will file my taxes and see but I honestly feel and would appreciate your help on closing the two companies for good and release my car to me at no cost.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITH THE ABS AND THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY TWO SEPARATE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS HOWEVER, AFTER EACH REPAIR THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

OUR GPS/ NAVI SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED

THE "CHECK TPMS" WARNING LIGHT KEEPS ON COMING ON AND OFF IRREGULARLY, AND THE TPMS DISPLAYS VERY WRONG TIRE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT NUMBERS. I CHECKED THE TIRES MANUALLY, AND READ THEIR PRESSURE ALL AROUND 33 PSI WHILE THE TPMS DISPLAYED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE AS 58 PSI.

As I was driving, the vehicle suddenly began smoking through the steering wheel and the hood, then it caught flames and the vehicle was totaled.

Car has been in family and well taken care of, smell of fire along with multiple alternators and battery changes. Mechanics cannot figure out why car goes through alternator and batteries. Paid for 6 to 8 alternator and battery. Transmission is now going on car. Like I said car has been taken care of but not worth transmission job, my complaint is I see almost every person who has Acura TL all have transmission problems. I need Acura to answer for all transmission problems through the whole country and why so many alternators and batteries?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MAGUIRE HONDA OF ITHACA, 315 ELMIRA RD, ITHACA, NY 14850, 607-273-1926) WHERE IT WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AXLES WERE CORRODED. THE FRONT AXLES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER THEN REPAIRED THE CARRIER BEARING, BUT IT ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE MULTIPLE REPAIRS FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE ABNORMAL NOISE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT HAD A WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER HAD NOT VERIFIED IF THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED PER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE POOR AND HAZARDOUS DESIGN OF RAIN-X LATITUDE WIPER BLADES CONNECTOR PIECE. WHILE DRIVING IN "NORMAL DUTY CONDITIONS" LIGHT NON-FREEZING RAIN (TEMP IN THE MID 50'S FAHRENHEIT) AT NORMAL CITY SPEEDS THE PASSENGER WIPER, A 19" RAIN-X LATITUDE, PROPERLY INSTALLED, CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED CAUSING THE WIPER BLADE PORTION OF THE PART TO BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLES WIPER ARM WITH THE PLASTIC CLIP STILL ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE'S METAL WIPER ARM. THE BLADE WAS THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE INTO THE ROADWAY.THIS CAUSED A SUDDEN TOTAL LOSS OF VISIBILITY. IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THIS PART AS DESIGNED BY RAIN-X THAT COULD CAUSE A SUDDEN AND TOTAL LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE AND COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS DEBRIS TO BE MECHANICALLY THROWN FROM A VEHICLE, ENDANGERING THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. *TR

ABOUT 3-6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY ACURA 2006 TL. GRADUALLY THE CRACK GREW, THEN OVER TIME, I SAW TWO MORE CRACKS IN THE AREAS WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED. NOW THESE CRACKS ARE WIDENING AND I CAN SEE WHITE IN THE CRACKS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WILL COMPROMISE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IF SO, THIS CAN HAVE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES. I CALLED THE ACURA MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL COST ME $1500-2000 AND THAT THE ADJUSTMENT FROM THEM WILL BE MINIMAL BECAUSE THE WARRANTY FOR SUCH A THING HAS EXPIRED. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ACURAS. PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND HELP OTHERS LIKE ME WHO ARE HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED, DISCOURAGED AND ANGRY ABOUT THE POOR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED IN THE AREA THAT ENCASES THE AIRBAGS THAT SHOULD PROTECT US FROM INJURY OR DEATH. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES AND I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GOOD PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THE DASHBOARD WITH A WINDSHIELD COVER, USED SPECIAL CONDITIONER AND CRACKED MY WINDOWS TO KEEP THE HEAT OUT. I ALSO DO PROPER AND TIMELY MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND WAS HOPING THIS WOULD BE MY LAST CAR. NOW, IF I MUST SELL MY CAR, MY CAR HAS DEPRECIATED SUBSTANTIALLY DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP AND I WILL HAVE A CAR PAYMENT I DON'T NEED OR CAN'T AFFORD. DO RU *TR

AUTOMATIC SENSOR IGNITION, HEADLIGHTS NO LIGHT SENSOR AUTOMATICALLY DAMAGED. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT HAD A MOANING SOUND. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE BATTERY LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, CSV LIGHT, ALL CAME ON JUST BEFORE THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF, THEN TOTALLY WENT OUT AND THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO JUMPSTART THE CAR, THE CAR STARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT WHEN THE JUMPER CABLES WERE REMOVED, THE CAR INSTANTLY SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE. THREE MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I GOT IT JUMPSTARTED AND IT RAN PERFECTLY UNTIL THE ABOVE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY THIS CAR HAS HAD SINCE 2009. *TR

DRIVER SEAT HEATER IS CAUSING A BURNING SMELL WHEN TURNED ON. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. THE SMELL IS LIKELY DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT HEATING ELEMENT. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A SHORT IN THE HEATING ELEMENT WIRES.

VOICE RECOGNITION AND HANDS FREE LINK NO LONGER WORKS. *TR

TREAD HAS SEPARATED FROM TIRE CARCASS ON ONE TIRE, IMMINENT ON OTHER THREE TIRES ACCORDING TO DEALER. SUSPECT DEFECTIVE ADHESIVE OR APPLICATION DURING MANUFACTURE OF THE TIRE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 ACURA TL. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE TIRE PRESSURE BEGAN TO FAIL. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER A FEW DAYS LATER. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND ADDED MORE AIR TO THE TIRES. THE CONTACT WENT HOME ONLY TO RETURN TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER CHANGED THE VALVE STEM, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. UPDATED 4/25/08 *CN

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD AFTER A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT WHEEL HIT A POT HOLE, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELT BECAME STOCKED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED INOPERABLE DUE TO A VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURE. NO WARNING LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED PRIOR THE INCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE POT HOLE IMPACT DEPLOYED THE SIDE AIR BAG AND ALSO STOCKED THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THE WHOLE INCIDENT WAS DETERMINED AS AN ACCIDENT BY THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL BY THE MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE IN PUERTO RICO. THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO DETERMINED THE INCIDENT AS AN ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WAS NOT A CONSEQUENCE OF BODY IMPACT.*AK

CAR ACCELERATES WHEN GAS PEDAL IS NOT PUSHED DOWN. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT AT TIME THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 06 ACURA TL HAS BEEN SHIFTING (CAR ACCELERATES) FOR A SECOND OR TWO, AFTER YOU HAVE REMOVED YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR SORT OF "JERKS" FORWARD. SOMETIMES THE "JERK" MOTION OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. LAST NIGHT, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I WAS ON A ROAD THAT SLOPES DOWNWARD AT AROUND 30 DEGREES. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATED AFTER I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. AS A TEST, I DIDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL ON THIS DOWNWARD SLOPING ROAD, AND LET THE CAR COAST. THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED ANYWAY, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED (SORT OF "JERKED" FORWARD) FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT WAS VERY SCARY. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE, AND THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH ACURA TWICE ALREADY ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION. THEY RECORD THE CONCERN, BUT PROMISE NO ACTION. I HAVE GONE TO 2 DIFFERENT ACURA DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS, AND BOTH STATE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NM

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
