Consumer Description

FRONT BUMPER IS WAY TOO LOW AND SCRAPS AND GETS CAUGHT ON CURBS. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER COMING OFF. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT FOR FREE. NOW THEY JUST SAY WATCH HOW YOU PARK. THE TROUBLE IS, YOU CANT'S TELL WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER A CURB, ONLY WHEN BACKING OUT, DOES THE BUMPER CATCH AND PULL OFF. THIS IS A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX, ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO. *TR
