ON OR ABOUT APRIL 2,2012 I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIRBAG. 3 WEEKS LATER ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH. WENT TO ACURA DEALERSHIP AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY 90%. FAST FORWARD TO THE WEEK OF MAY 22-28 THERE IS NOW CRACKS OUTLINING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALL THE WAY AROUND IT. THE SIDES ARE STARTING TO CURL UP AND NOW 3 MORE NEW CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AS WELL. THIS ALL STARTED 2 MONTHS AGO AT WHICH TIME I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CRACKS AT ALL. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND I ALSO USE A CUSTOM MADE SUN VISOR EVERY SINGLE DAY. I FEEL WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT. I'M NOT HAPPY HAVING TO PAY 150.00 OF MY MEASLY UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR
