HADN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN 2 WEEKS, WAS OUT OF TOWN. DROVE IT TO WORK ON MONDAY AND MONDAY EVENING OR TUESDAY MORNING NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BUBBLE AT THE TOP OF MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. BY TUESDAY NOON, THE BUBBLE WAS IN THE CENTER OF THE MIRROR AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO THE CAR AT ABOUT 5:30 THAT AFTERNOON, THERE WAS A LIQUID SUBSTANCE ON MY CENTER CONSOLE THAT LEAKED OUT FROM THE MIRROR. IT WAS IN THE MID-90S MONDAY & TUESDAY. THE LIQUID WAS CAUSTIC AS IT ATE THE PAINT AND MELTED INTO THE PLASTIC CONSOLE. I WIPED IT OFF WITH A NAPKIN AS BEST I COULD, BUT IT WAS EMBEDDED IN THE PLASTIC. ON THE DRIVE HOME FELT LIGHT HEADED AND EXPERIENCED STOMACH PAIN / DIARRHEA AND A SORE THROAT FROM WED NIGHT ONWARDS. STILL EXPERIENCING SOME OF THESE SYMPTOMS TODAY (SAT), THOUGH I STOPPED...
