Wow, I think they scored a little too deep for the Airbag. I'll have to take it in and get it replaced under warranty. Anyone else have this issue?

its the material under stress from either heat or cold.
since its not yet winter, im gonna say the heat did it.

niebur3

I'm sure its the combo between heat and cold, but come on. My 2004 TL had the dash crack out and my wife's 2007 Honda Odyssey showed the score lines, never cracked through though. I don't see any other manufacturers having this issue. Not like just just started to get hot or cold....lol. Plus this year wan't all that hot in Nebraska.

^i forgot that you did come from a TL.



maybe the car is trying to tell you not to honk at other cars soo much

niebur3

HAHAHAHAHA Probably.

urbanstereo

cut the same groove on the other side.

it will give it character

dave_88

^^^^^i like your positive outlook on life.

niebur3

^^^^I take it your cars don't have this problem.....lol!

JTRADAR61

Sorry that you have the issue with air bag. I too have a 2012 TSX Tech but I have been lucky and have not had one problem with car so far! It's been to dealer twice to have oil changed. It's been the best car that I have owned so far.

iCrap

I just looked at mine and it's exactly the same as in your picture. But now i can't unsee it and it's really bothering me.

Screw you, man.

NBP04TL4ME

Believe I have seen this on the loaner cars I have had...............

niebur3

It's probably been that way for a while on mine and I just now noticed it. Sorry man....hope yours is still under warranty.

iCrap

Nah no warranty anymore
and even if it was I doubt they would replace it since my dealer likes to give me a hard time about everything.

niebur3

Must be something with Acura dealers. I'm sure I can't take mine in until I get my stereo completely finished. They will blame the crack on a missing kick panel...lol.

They actually tried to blame an issue I was having with my tpms on the missing plastic in the back messing with the radio frequency of the sensors (then tried to charge me for the diagnosis since the plastic was gone)....lol.

iCrap

That's ridiculous...

my car also has TPMS issues. they come and go..
Took it into Acura for that as well, they said they fixed it. happened again 2 days after.

Jaheri_cbp

Mine looks exactly the same.. Not cracked but you can see that same pattern on the face of the wheel

Jaheri_cbp

Duuuude!!! I just got some new conti's installed and the same shit with mine the sensors reading some crazy ass psi ratings then sometimes not working at all and telling me to check my tpms system! I so friggin erked been dealing with this for like a week now

iCrap

yeah same shit ^
Mine don't show weird PSi readings though, they just randomly say system failure or sometimes dont work, start flashing...etc.

niebur3

^^^That's what mine does. Annoying as hell. You must have removed a tiny piece of plastic somewhere....lol!

iSeeYouTwo

I don't think it's cracked, might just be how the air bag cover is, because my cover has the same groove...

Jaheri_cbp

C...

Jaheri_cbp

And this is what my tpms reads.. I dialed in my tires to 35psi this morning while cold... Wtf?! And yes iCrap I've had the flashing yellow light and the big yellow TPMS letters across my instrument panel.. Twice

iCrap

^^ I'm not totally sure but it seems to me like I get more warnings and TPMS fuckups when it's cold outside.

Piece of shit system.

rgoldd

I've had TPMS issues as well on my 2010 TSX it randomly tells me System Function Error and all the pressures show as --

Then I turn off the car and it goes away it was happening all the time in the winter, not so much now but still sometimes mainly on freeway.

I had all my sensors replace and it's still happening. I broke open the old TPMS and the batteries after 4.5 years were all around 50% of life.

rgoldd

I just clicked File a Complaint at nhtsa.gov to me it's a safety concern since I now ignore the TPMS anytime it comes on.

iCrap

EXACTLY the same thing. it would happen almost every day during the winter.

xtcnrice

Happened once or twice when I had my stock wheels on, new wheels in the trunk/back, and second set of TPMS in the glove. Although this is likely unrelated to your problem, I think having a second set of TPMS nearby will screw with the system.

iCrap

They changed the TPMS system btw in the 11+. Probably cause of all the issues...

ceb

You think???

I had issues with my first TSX where the TPMS would sometimes (but not always) lose connectivity when driving the same road. I figured it was some external device (garage door opener, radar etc.) that was the cause because whenever it happened it was ALWAYS in the same location.

xtcnrice

Lol funny thing is, I was anticipating TPMS-related issues on the way back (on my new set of wheels/tires/TPMS). Really tripped me out when I started experiencing the issue on my way there.

Oh, I also had a couple wheels on my front passenger seat, and no the seatbelt was not on. Yes, the passenger air bag light came on

opboarding

I drove around for a few days with the 4 TPMS for my new wheels in my trunk with no issues. Also on my road trips to Houston I carry one of my wheels in the trunk to use as a full size spare. I've never had any issues with mine. My oem wheels are also stored about 5 feet from my car in the garage.

iCrap

I thought the sensors are only active once the wheel is turning?

xtcnrice

whut

how does it give us readings when the car is stopped/parked? you mean the vehicle just keeps displaying the latest value in memory and is simply not getting any updates from the tpms?

iCrap

^ yeah pretty sure.

NBP04TL4ME

So what kind of readings (PSI) does it give for being in the packaging???

iCrap

Probably would just show --- or something.
again, i could be totally wrong but I'm pretty sure I read this somewhere (or asked dealer or something)

xtcnrice

Yeah might be -- or 0. I can't remember.. but one of the 4 readings were skewed to that point (-- or 0) when I had 4 other TPMS in my glove compartment.

NBP04TL4ME

So what does that mean for the spare tire? Not sure if it has TPMS or not, but assuming it does................

iCrap

I don't think it has tpms

NBP04TL4ME

You may well be right - I have never needed to use the spare - but that would mean a TPMS message/light on the dash if you did. Again this could be correct, but just thinking outside the box, if you have to use your spare, I'd imagine the last thing you would want to see on the dash is a TPMS light.....
