Description of the problem	Driving my car about 65 mph down a long stretch highway in the woods heard this loud noise saw black in the right upper side of my wind shield. Thought i hit a black bird safely pulled over got out saw no blood on the car or feathers. Looked closer a black plastic mold had come off and caused the loud noisy got in my car went back down the road and located it was broke up pretty good. Come home did some research it is called a pillar. It was the passenger side. This could cause a serious accident. Please look into this. Their was no reason the pillar should have become detached . When i did my research i noticed this has happened to other people not just me.
