A RECALLED AMPLIFLYER MELTED AND CREATED FIRE WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF NOTICE.

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.

A MONTH HAS WENT BY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT I WOULD BE HEARING FROM SOMEONE BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHO. THE PERSON ASSIGNED CASE WAS A DAVID HOMBRE,1-800-382-2238. HE INDICATED THAT IF I WANTED ANY MORE INFORMATION TO HAVE MY LAWYER CONTACT THEIR L&A DEPT. NO PHONE# JUST AN ADDRESS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF CAR, I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF I HAD TO HAVE REMOVED THEM FROM REAR RESTRAINTS I AM NOT SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME PRIOR TO CAR FULLY ERUPTING.
