| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Throughout the last week, i have attempted to contact someone at magna donnelly on several occasions regarding the following matter. as of 1:33 pm (est) on saturday, november 12, 2005, i have not yet received a response from anyone at magna donnelly. additionally, each time that i have called magna donnelly at corporate headquarters in troy, michigan, at (616) 786-7000, i am always prompted to a voice mail selection. i have left numerous voice mails for vp's carlos mazzorin and lian lynam and the corporate relations dept, and sent e-mails to customercarecenter@magnadon.com and suppliersupport@magnadon.com. i have reported to them that my 13-year-old daughter and i were recently exposed to the chemical substance used in magna donnelly's auto dim rear-view mirror manufactured between 1990-2000. the rear-view mirror in my 2000 acura tl recently stopped working after a black oil-based substance (with a green tint to it) began leaking all over my center console, front leather seats, and carpeted interior. this chemical substance has corroded my center consoles woodgrain interior and the silver plate surrounding my gear shift. i live in south florida and the national poison control center has instructed me to seek information from magna donnelly on the chemicals used in their rear-view mirrors manufactured between 1990-2000. according to the national poison control center, if this substance is, in fact, toxic, it could be quite lethal when inhaled...especially, in the hot florida sun. i have always been a very health, athletic female, but recently developed a constant low-grade fever, a kidney infection, and blood in my urine. if this substance can burn a hole through my gear shift plate, is it possible that the toxic fumes have affected my health and the health of my daughter? acura's headquarters stated that this information is not available to the public. *jb |
