While driving at 65 mph the engine shield fell off from under the vehicle, causing the consumer to lose control. Also, steering was very hard to steer, causing the consumer to pull to the side of the shoulder. The consumer look under the vehicle, and noticed the front of the shield was on the freeway, and the shield was rubbing up against the front tires.
