Consumer Description

AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 67MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL I WAS IN THE 2ND LANE IN FROM THE RIGHT . I FELT SOMETHING BUMPY UNDERNEATH MY FEET AND AS I LOWERED MY RADIO I HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND AND THEN IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WENT UNDERNEATH MY TIRES AND I HEARD WHEN IT PULLED AND BROKE THE FRONT GRILL MADE ME SWERVE THANK GOD NO ACCIDENT. AS I WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRAGGING THE PANEL AND PARTS OF MY BUMPER. SURE ENOUGH THE UNDERNEATH PANEL CAME OFF AND THAT'S WHAT CREATED THE WHOLE BODY DAMAGE.
