What owners wrote

I was driving down a major highway, and all of a sudden my hood slammed up into my windshield blocking my view of sight while I was going 60 MPH. The light on the ceiling came out of the housing and hit me on the head. It felt like a boulder landed on my car. I was in the left lane and was luckily able to swerve safely two lanes over to pull off to the side of the road without an accident.
