Consumer Description

FRONT BUMPER COVER / AIR DAM BROKE ON ORDINARY WHEEL STOP IN PUBLIC PARKING LOT. CAR HAS INADEQUATE CLEARANCE AND FRONT BUMPER COVER / AIR DAM IS CONSTRUCTED SO THAT IT HOOKS ON WHEEL STOPS AND BREAKS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU PARK IF YOU BRING THE FRONT TIRES TO WITHIN A FOOT OF THE WHEEL STOPS. ACCORDING TO MBUSA, THE FRONT BUMPER COVER IS AN AIR FOIL / SAFETY DEVICE PROVIDING STABILITY TO THE CAR. ONCE IT IS BROKEN, THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER COVER HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT OF COURSE IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. *TR
