| Driver side fog lamp came free on the front bumper, dangling by the electrical cable in front of the driver side tire. faulty engineering regarding the placement and secure of the fog lamp onto the front bumper. the large fog lamp eventually came free and obviously went under the tire, as it dangled directly in front of the tire at a high rate of speed, potentially causing a punctured tire and potential accident at a high rate of speed. additionally, the fog lamp had potential to injure others driving behind me, impacting their windshield at a high rate of speed on the highway, as it cleared my vehicle after detachment. *jb | |||
