Consumer Description

The trim surrounding my two front wheels, as well as part of the trim on my rear passenger-side tire, popped completely off of the vehicle while driving through a typical rain storm in Central Florida. That is a total of three pieces ejected during the normal course of driving. Part of the trim on the driver's side was protruding, but seems to have snapped back into place. There wasn't a lot of wind, visibility wasn't that poor. Other vehicles had slowed down, as did we, but it was not an abnormally strong storm from our observation. I didn't see any other vehicles we encountered shedding parts like I was. We didn't hydroplane at any point during the drive. The following day, Monday [XXX], I drove down the same road and retrieved the front passenger side piece of trim off of a sidewalk; I failed to locate the other two pieces. I believe this is a safety issue if parts of my vehicle can pop off during a simple rain storm, something that occurs nearly daily during the Summer where I live. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
