Consumer Description

I HAVE THE DEFECTIVE INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS. A LARGE CLEAR BUBBLE APPEARED AT THE TOP OF THE MIRROR GLASS AND THE REST OF THE MIRROR IS TINTED AND THE VISION DISTORTED. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I CONTACTED ACURA. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS THE FAULT OF THE OEM EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER, MAGNA DONNELLY. I CONTACTED THEM AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE MIRRORS. I ALSO LEARNED FROM RESEARCH THAT THE FLUID THAT LEAKS FROM THESE MIRRORS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE IN EFFECT TO REPLACE THESE DANGEROUS MIRRORS. *TR
