i just noticed a tear in my dash on the passenger air bag..2 of my good friends that own tsx have the same problem...is this happening to anyone else?

 

I seem to remember others w/ this problem. Acura should make good on fix.

good luck

 

My car was still under warranty and they told me it wasn't covered...they told me it was caused by the products I use to clean my dash and the sun..like u said they should do right...

 

I can remember 2 threads where this happened to someone. I think I was the very first person that it happened to. It was replaced under warranty. They had to replace the entire dash and the dash vents they broke in the process. I had a loaner for 3.5 weeks while the dealer waited for parts and had to figure out how to replace the dashboard.

The crack started appearing after I used Armor All on it. I now only use that aerospace 303 (?) stuff on my dash, but I can kind of see the outline on my dash again.

It sucks that they won't warranty it. Maybe try another dealer? I agree it was caused by the use of certain chemicals, but if they don't warn you in the manual, I personally consider it a defect. Are you using the manufacturer's warranty, or an extended warranty?

 

i recently noticed the same problem.. figures a nice acura that has a crack in the dash

 

If tear is in the crease where the air bag should rip to deploy, I would call it a defect in the safety system. Perhaps a more pointed inquiry that an improper air bag deployment could result in injury and legal consequences may help.

good luck
