Consumer Description

ON A VERY HOT DAY, I ENTERED MY CAR TO DISCOVER A BLACK OIL SUBSTANCE THAT MELTED AROUND MY GEAR SHIFT. LOOKED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR AND IT WAS VERY BLURRY, THEN LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW WHERE THE SUBSTANCE CAME OUT OF THE MIRROR. IT ALSO SPLASH ON MY LEATHER SEATS. ACURA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS LIQUID CRYSTAL THAT IS USED TO DIM THE MIRROR. HE SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO THE MILEAGE AND YEAR. (MAYBE IF IT WAS 50K MILES OR LESS) WHICH DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME. HE SAID NORMALLY IT WILL MAKE A BROWN LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MIRROR (WHICH MINE HAS).. THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SO UNCOMMON.
