Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A recalled ampliflyer melted and created fire within the cabin of the car. i have never received any type of notice. when i called acura of america they referred me to acura of canada because the car originated in canada, but has been registered in the us for many years. further the same recall part was installed on the us version of the same vehical. i feel like i am getting the run around from a large corporation. things may have turned out very tragiclly had my wife and 2 year old daughter been in the car instead of just me. acura of america didn't want to hear any part of that, but only refered me to acura of canada. i am curious as to how many deaths and or law suites acura is facing?*ak
