Description of the problem	i purchased a 2014 jeep wrangler, unlimited freedom edition on february 21, 2014. On june 28, 2014, i was driving the above named jeep on an interstate at a speed of approximately 65-70 mph. The jeep has a "soft" top. (i have never touched the top because i didn't know how to perform the task of retracting the top to fold down or fold it up to reattach the top. I decided that when i wanted to retract the top that i'd have to read the instructions from the jeep owner's guide and then perform the task. I've had the jeep for approximately 4 months. I don't drive it much, therefore i had not decided to try and perform that task yet.) as i was traveling on the interstate, as mentioned above, the top on the jeep unpredictably flew open and backward. The jeep top, after the incident, was hanging on the jeep about 1/4 parts on the rear top of the jeep. The remainder of the jeep top had broken and detached from the body structure of the jeep from the upper front top to about 3/4 parts of the way backward, toward the rear of the jeep. I was so afraid and in horrific shock! I pulled over off the interstate and turned the jeep off. I was shaking out of fear and shock from this incident. All i could think at that moment was..."what if that top had flown all the way off of the jeep and caused another person in a vehicle near me, on the interstate, to have an accident and perhaps been killed". I am horrified!!! I, personally, would consider this a serious safety defect!
