Consumer Description

FUEL CHARCOAL CANISTER OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS OVER UNDER CARRIAGE OF VEHICLE. GAS FUMES CIRCULATE INTO CABIN THROUGH AIR CONDITIONER ASPHYXIATING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. AFTER PARKING CAR IN HOME GARAGE GAS FUMES ARE TOO STRONG TO CLOSE GARAGE DOOR FOR HOURS. THE GAS FUMES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO BECOME A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR I BECAME VERY ILL, DIZZY, NAUSEATED, EYES STARTED TO BURN, THAN VISION BLURRED, ALMOST CRASHED AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE NOTIFIED ACURA IN OUR LAS VEGAS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, YET WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *AK
