What owners wrote
2008 acura tl with exterior damage over the door. Consumer states the exterior frame over the doors was unusually susceptible to damage. That section of the exterior showed dents or impressions. He states his previous acura tl showed this same problem.
Takata recall - my airbags on my 2008 acura tl have exploded on my seats, roof, and side airbags. I don't understand why previously submitted complaints about this issue have not been responded to. My airbag light is on and will not go off and my safety is being jeopardized everyday on this vehicle and it appears for the last decade other owners of the 2008 tl have reported on the acura forums what I have, yet for some reason, the recalls are excluding this model. Why, why why?????
