WTF-cracked dashboard
Okay so i need some serious help! I walked out to my car this morning and noticed a 12inch crack above my passenger airbag! 
I called acura corporate and they said that since i bought it from an independent dealer that it was just common wear and tear and that there was nothing they could do to help me. This is bullshitttt. I've had the car now for not even 7 months and it just broke 100k miles. Florida sun is no joke but there has to be something else i can do. I adore my car and i always put up sun protector when i leave it in the sun but still got a crack.! Help! i dont have the $1800 to replace it. Someone please help!! In the mean time i've been using turtle wax ultra sun protectant! what else do i do! Help asap!!!

The only solution I can think of now that it's already happened is to get a nice dash cover.
If you get a good one that fits the TL just right it doesn't look bad at all.
I typically don't like dash covers most of the time .... but I have seen someone's TL with one on it. Don't know what brand he had but it actually looked really good and fit perfectly, I was impressed with it.

Acura always talks about how they stand behind thier products but tell me its not their problem? lmao. I guess im going to have to get a dash cover even though i think they are very unattractive. Ugh, if anyone one else comes up with an solutions, write me asappp!

And there are plenty of other threads on this topic already. It has been beaten to death over the years. Although I'm sure I will post a similar rant when mine finally gives out and cracks.

Just replace it. Its funny to me that people get so mad about it. I know I would be mad too but it is bound to happen at some point and of course Acura will not warranty the car forever.
Its like when people complain about the dashes in Ferrari F355 shrinking. Its happens to all of them at some point!

You can either do it yourself, or next time you need a car buy it brand new for full price from a dealership, take it to them for every ridiculously priced service and $80 oil change, and then when something goes wrong when its out of warranty... they might just decide to help you out
