Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD MOLDING ON BOTH SIDES HAS JUST BLOWN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR MOLDING HAS ALSO FLOWN OFF WHILE DRIVE IN THE CANYON. I HAVE HAD ALL THREES PANELS BLOW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVE WITH IN 3 MONTHS AND I AM SO MAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. NOT ONLY ARE THEY EXPENSIVE IF IT RAINS IT IS GOING TO RAIN STRAIGHT INTO MY CAR THIS IS A HORRIBLE HAZARDOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I AM LUCKY THAT ONE OF THOSE PANELS DIDNT HIT SOMEONE ELSES CAR AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR WORSE BECAUSE THOSE ARE BIG THICK MOLDING THAT COULD REALLY CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO SOMEONE ELSE AND THEIR VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD OTHER FORD VEHICLES AND I BOUGHT THIS ONE REALLY EXCITED AND HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT DISAPPOINTING. SO LONG STORY SHORT 3 DIFFERENT PANELS/MOLDING FLEW OFF MY CAR IN THE CANYON OR FREEWAY ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND IT IS SO DANGEROUS.
