Consumer Description

WHILE ON VACATION AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BUMPER CAME OFF OF THE ONE SCREW THAT WAS HOLDING IT INTO PLACE AND THE BRACKETS CAME OUT MAKING IT UNSECURE. THE BUMPER LAY ON THE GROUND AS I PROCEEDED INTO THE PARKING LOT, SCRATCHING ON THE ASPHALT AS I HAD TO PULL IN TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. WENT TO A LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE THE MAN WHO TEMPORARILY FIXED THE BUMPER TOLD ME THAT VW'S HAVE UNSECURE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS, AND THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.*AK
