2012 Acura TL air bags problems

“In an auto collision where a car rear end the vehicle from an idle position into an 18-foot box truck in front which was also idle. The vehicle smashed in the front and back which it was deemed a total loss and the airbag did not deploy. This caused the driver to have several injuries including a head concussion. When contacted the dealer service department where recall maintenance had been performed, I was instructed to contact the airbag manufacturer. The vehicle inspected by insurance adjuster (GEICO). There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure of the airbag deploy.”

“MY RED AIRBAG LIGHT & MY CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHTS COMES ON AND OFF WHILE STATIONARY. WHEN IT COMES ON IT STAYS ON FROM ONE DESTINATION TO THE NEXT. WHEN I RETURN BACK TO THE CAR TO START IT AGAIN ITS NOT ON, BUT IF I WAIT A WHILE TO GO TO ANOTHER DESTINATION THE CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES BACK ON AGAIN.”

“I HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THE TAKATA STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG, THEN IN JAN 2019 I GOT A AIRBAG WARNING 31-1 AIRBAG SYSTEM. ACURA RESET THE WARNING , BUT 3 MONTH LATER IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVERSIDE AIRBAG CURTAIN. THIS IS NOT COVERED ANYMORE, BUT I WOULD THINK ACURA WOULD HELP THERE LONG TERM CUSTOMERS.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 ACURA TL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOON AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS), THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DON CARLTON ACURA (918-664-2300, LOCATED AT 4905 S MEMORIAL DR, TULSA, OK 74145) FOR A CHECK-UP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.”

“I HAVE HAD MY 2012 ACURA TL TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THE TECH ABOUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR BEING DISPLAYED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT ONE REASON ONE TIME AND THE OTHER 2X'S, I JUST MENTIONED IT AS I GOT MY OIL CHANGE AND CABIN FILTER. NOTHING OR NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT; HOWEVER IT KEEPS BLINKING OFF AND ON. I HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR A LOT AND I HOPE THAT IT IS NOT A DEFECT IN AIRBAG THAT WOULD INJURE SOMEONE. I HOPE IT WOULD DEPLOY IF IT NEEDED TO. I HAVE 60,000 MILES AND HAVE HAD SOOOOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. JUST HAD TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR (FIRST TIME)AND BATTERY(FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS). ACURA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AS IT IS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY. IN WARRANTY ACURA CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT. OUT OF WARRANTY'THEY DON'T REALLY CARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.”

“TAKATA RECALL. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN TO THE ACURA OF ORANGE PARK FL TO HAVE AIRBAG SYSTEM CHECKED RELATED TO THE RECALL THE REPAIR WAS MADE AND A WEEK LATER THE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHICH I DID AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE. HOWEVER, THE SWITCH IS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST. I THEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD TO RETURN IT AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATOR IS ACCURATE OR NOT BECAUSE THE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DAILY AS I DRIVE.”
