NHTSA Complaint #10240125 — 2001 ACURA CL

REAR VIEW MIRROR (SELF DIMMING) ON MY 2001 ACURA CL SELF DESTRUCTED AND SPILT SOME TOXIC DARK THIS FLUID ON TO THE CONSOLE AND LEATHER SEATS THAT ATE AWAY THE MATERIAL. MANUFACTURER OF THESE SELF DIMMING MIRRORS IS MAGNA DONNELY AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL ACURA CL AND TL CARS FROM LATE 90'S TILL 2003. FROM SEEING THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON ACURAZINE BLOG THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE WITH A PLASTIC ZIPLOCK BAG AROUND MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND A TOWEL BELOW IT. ACURA USA HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR. I THINK THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES IF THIS WAS HAPPENING SO OFTEN.
