TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 ACURA TL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

MY 2000 ACURA 3.2 TL HAS A FAILING REAR VIEW MIRROR, LEAKING FLUID INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. FROM SEARCHING I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE AUTO DIMMING MIRRORS MANUFACTURED BY MAGNA DONNELLY CORP INSTALLED ON VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS OF CARS. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THE CHEMICALS LEAKING MAY BE TOXIC, THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT RELEASED THE INGREDIENT CONTENTS PUBLICLY. IF YOU SEARCH GOOGLE FOR "LEAKING REAR VIEW MIRROR" YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES NEED TO BE EXAMINED AND IF DETRIMENTAL TO HEALTH A FORCED RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN 2000 ACURA TL FAILED. WHEN IT FAILED, IT LEAKED SOME CORROSIVE LIQUID ONTO THE GEAR SHIFT OF MY CAR. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY HEAT AS IT OCCURRED ON A HOT DAY. ACURA HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW CARS (HTTP://TL.ACURAZINE.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=78061&HIGHLIGHT=REAR+VIEW+MIRROR). *TR
