| The rearview mirror in my 2000 acura tl exploded and a black liquid sprayed throughout the interior of my car. it corroded a large hole through my center console (which was replaced by acura/honda at no charge), damaged my leather seats and carpet (which acura/honda refused to replace, but did perform a thorough cleaning of both...the dealer invoice stated mercury leak), and also prompted the replacement of my rearview mirror (which was also replaced by acura/honda at no charge). just imagine...if chemicals are toxic enough to corrode a hole through your center console, what effect do those chemicals have on you when inhaled? *tr | |||
