Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“An underbody splash shield (one of three, I believe), covering the transmission (the middle of the three) detached at highway speed and fell off the vehicle. This caused the leading edge of another shield to detach, which then, due to air flow, began dragging the highway. It was quite a noise; initially I thought it was a tire blow out. I quickly decelerated to try to move to an exit (it was urban highway with no shoulders), at lower speeds, the panel stopped dragging. There was no road debris involved in the event. …”
