Apparently in a Ford the fuckin roof can cave in on your head and your
brakes in your Jeep can fail, sending you crashing into a retailing
wall and sending you through the windshield, decrapitating you like a
soldier getting his head sawed off by the talibans.

Not exactly the roof - it says the head liner. Not a good thing, but far
less worrisome that having the "roof cave in on your head."

Not when the head liner falls down over your eyes, impairing your
vision and causing you hit a Ford Pinto from behind, which in turn
explodes and turns you into a screaming fireball with an epiphany that
a head liner that won't stay put is indeed worrisome.

The headliner came down during a crash test, not during routine driving. The
way it seems to me, this is a minor issue. You have a crash and during the
crash a piece of flock covered cardboard drops down. I don't think the
cardboard would be your biggest concern at that point.

I once owned a 1950 Ford car I bought in 1972.The car had a saggy
headliner.I would be driving along and part of the headliner would plop
down on top of my head.I could still see good enough to drive though.
