NHTSA complaint: UNKNOWN UNKNOWN — EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
GOOD DAY, I AM WRITING TO YOU ON CONCERN OF PROBLEM I INCURRED ON THE 27TH OF MARCH 2011, INVOLVING MY VEHICLE AND FIRE THAT WAS CAUSEED DUE TO ITEM PURCHASED FROM UNITED AUTO OF WOODISE NY 11377. THE ITEM IN QUESTION IS HID LIGHT, WHICH CONTAINS 2 HYPER WHITE BULBS, 2 BALLAST, ETC. WELL MY VEHICLE WAS A 2010 HONDA ACCORD IN WHICH I HAD PURCHASED THE LIGHTS FOR BETTER VISIBILTY AT NIGHT, AND INSTEAD GOT A FIRE IN MY ENGINE BAY, DUE TO FACT IGNITOR BOX STARTED ON FIRE WHICH BURNED OTHER COMPONENTS OF VEHICLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND BEING TOSSED AROUND FROM COMPANY NOT WANTING TO TAKE FAULT OF ITEM THEY SELL, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST TO REPORT MY COMPLAINT TO NHTSA, IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER'S AND GETTING TAKING ADVANTAGED OF. NAME OF C OMPANY IS UNITED AUTO (U.P.P.I.) 31-35 61TH STREET, WOODSIDE NY 11377 (718)278-8866, ITEM WAS PURCHASED ON THE 20TH OF MARCH 2011. ALSO AFTER DOING RESEARCH I NEVER KNEW THAT HID LIGHTS WERE NON-DOT APPROVED AND ANYONE SELLING IS IN VIOLATION. SO IF POSSIBLE I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING BUT PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE THERE MUST BE OTHERS LIKE ME. *TR
