ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
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

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM ACURA MARCH 2001. NOTICE ADVISED ME NOT TO USE RADIO, AND RADIO WOULD BE REPLACED BY DEALER. CALLED NEAREST AUTHORIZED DEALER IN APRIL 2001; THEY SAID THEY HAD NO PARTS AND IT WAS A "CORPORATE" PROBLEM. CALLED ACURA, WHO SAID I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT; PARTS WERE SCARCE. THEY AGAIN WARNED ME NOT TO USE MY RADIO. I ASKED FOR A DATE BY WHICH MY CAR WOULD BE REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T KNOW. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN THE 60 DAYS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE, AND ACURA HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM OR GIVEN ANY ANSWERS ABOUT WHEN THEY WILL CORRECT IT. I'M TIRED OF WAITING AND PLAN TO USE MY RADIO, AND WILL HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG!*AK
