Consumer Description

I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE AFTER THE CAR WAS PROPERLY PARKED, THE CAR SETTLED AND THE FRONT BUMPER CAUGHT THE PARKING STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE CAR, AND LEARNED FROM THE HERTZ AGENT THAT IT WAS THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THE CAR DEALER WILL NOT EVEN COVER THE DEFECTIVE FLIMSY FRONT BUMPER LIP. THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ARE REGARDING THE POOR ASSEMBLY QUALITY....UPDATED 11-06-13 *BF
