Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS A CONSOLE. THERE ARE ACCESS PANELS ON EITHER SIDE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HAT A POT HOLE, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL CAME OFF AND DROPPED BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDLE, AND THE SIDE OF THE HUMP HOLDING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. I WAS FORCED TO PUT THE CAR IN NUTERAL AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PANEL. WHEN I INSPECTED THE PANEL, I FOUND IT IS HELD IN PLACE BY A 1" SQUARE OF VELCROW. I WILL BE REINSTALLING THE PANEL, AND INSERTING A SCREW THROUGH THE VELCROW MOUNT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIEOUS INCEIDENT!
