Consumer Description

I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER WAS MY NIECE JILLIAN TENNYSON, SHE AND HER SISTER ALLISON TENNYSON WERE BOTH KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/2/99. THEIR CAR WAS SPLIT IN 2 DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FRONT SEATS. THE STATE TROOPERS SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR DO THIS. IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS A HOT CUBE OF BUTTER SLICED IN 2. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ,THE CAR HAS A "UNIBODY" WHICH I UNDERSTAND TO BE ALL ONE PIECE. AFTER THE CAR SPLIT INTO 2. THE DRIVERS SEAT FAILED. IT FELL COMPLETELY BACKWARDS WHICH ALLOWED MY NIECE TO BE EJECTED OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR, OR LACK THERE OF. MY INTENT IS NOT TO GO AFTER ACURA. I WANT THE CAR INVESTIGATED TO BE SURE THAT IT WASN'T FAULTY. IF WE FIND IT WAS I ONLY WANT TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION TO AVOID ANY FURTHER SITUATIONS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR FAMILY. MAYBE A RECALL IS NEEDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCIDERATION. *AK
