Consumer Description
THE INTERIOR REAR-VIEW MIRROR BURST AND LEAKED LIQUID INSIDE THE CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE LIQUID ETCHED HOLES IN THE CONSOLE AND AROUND THE SHIFTER. ACCORDING TO THE JAGUAR OWNERS WEBSITE, THIS LIQUID IS TOXIC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MIRROR MADE BY MAGNA DONNELLY, MODEL 011530. MAGNA DONNELLY WENT BANKRUPT AND SYBESMA ELECTRONICS IS HANDLING FURTHER SALE OF THESE MIRRORS. THIS MODEL OF MIRROR WAS INSTALLED IN LINCOLNS, FORD 150S, JAGUAR, ACURA, CHRYSLER SEBRINGS AND OTHER VEHICLES AND THERE ARE REPORTED INSTANCES OF THEM "EXPLODING," LEAKING AND CRACKING. I REPLACED THE MIRROR WITH AN OLDER DESIGN, BUT BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY MORE OF THESE MIRRORS STILL IN USE. AFTER ALL, FORD DENIES THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THEM, DESPITE JAGUAR HAVING ISSUED A RECALL, ACCORDING TO INFORMATION ON THE JAGUAR OWNERS WEBSITE. *TR
