Consumer Description

ON THURS JUNE 25 AT APX 1800 HRS BOTH HALVES OF THE FREEDOM TOP ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER FLEW OFF THE CAR AT 55 MPH. THE FIBERGLASS FAILED AND THE TOPS TORE AWAY FROM THE METAL LATCHES. I GOT FIBERGLASS IN MY EYES AND HURT MY NECK IN THE PROCESS. THE TOPS WERE FIRMLY SECURED AND HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE CAR IN AT LEAST SIX WEEKS. DURING THOSE SIX WEEKS I HAD DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH WITH OUT A PROBLEM HAD ANYONE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME THE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I RETRIEVED THE TOPS FROM THE HWY AND HAVE THEM AS EVIDENCE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR TAKE ANY KIND OF CORRECTIVE ACTION THE CAR HAS 40,000 MI ON IT. MY INSURANCE CO SAYS I AM NOT COVERED FOR THE DAMAGE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TOPS ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
