NHTSA Complaint #11423503 — 2017 FORD EXPLORER

While driving on a public road at approximately 55 mph the passenger side windshield trim piece flew off of my car. Fortunately, the piece did not strike any other vehicles on the road. I am now concerned that the driver's side windshield trim will also fly off while I am driving. At this time, Ford does not have a safety recall for this item. I have received a recall notice for another item. The notice indicates, "On your vehicle, it may be possible for the roof rail covers to become loose or detach from the vehicle". I scheduled an appointment to have this repaired but the service technician told me that they are not able to resolve the issue at this time. Apparently the initial "fix" did not work and Ford is trying to find another solution. These removable parts are a huge safety risk for everyone on the road. A recall and permanent solution is required to keep motorist safe. Thank you.
