Consumer Description

YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE WINDSHIELD SIDE PANEL AND RUBBER FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE PLASTIC PIECE HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME OVER 500$ TO REPLACE AND THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE CAR. I ALSO MAINTAIN MY CAR WELL AND TAKE CARE OF IT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN. THE WINDSHIELD REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR ALL THE TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. FORD SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES A MAJOR WRECK AND SOMEONE DIES. *TR
