Consumer Description

THE FRONT BUMPER SITS SO LOW THAT IT CAUGHT ON A PARKING SPACE CONCRETE STOP--WHEN I STARTED BACKING OUT OF THE SPACE, THE BUMPER NEARLY RIPPED OFF THE CAR. THE BUMPER DID NOT JUST SCRAPE THE CONCRETE SPACE STOPPER, BUT INSTEAD CAUGHT ONTO IT, RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER ASSEMBLY. THE CONCRETE SPACE STOP WAS OF NORMAL SIZE AND IN ITS PROPER POSITION. THE CAR SIMPLY SAT SO LOW, AND IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT HOOKS ONTO THE CONCRETE STOP WHEN BACKING OUT.*AK
