Description of the problem | At approximately 55000 miles a crack was noted over the instrument panel. As the weeks passed more and more cracks appeared in the dash, particularly in the area over the glove box where it would appear the passenger side airbag is located. Subsequent to that the passenger airbag indicator light shows as active or inactive. I am concerned that this is a safety issue and that the passenger side airbag will deploy without impact. I rarely drive this car due to this concern, and do not feel that i can sell it or trade it due to this issue. I have spoken with my local acura dealer but they are unwilling to contribute any monetary assistance to correct the issue. They have contacted me regarding trading this vehicle in on another acura, but that isn't going to happen based on the quality of the vehicle i own, customer service, and their unwillingness to address what is obviously a widespread problem. |
