THE FRONT BUMBER IS TOO LOW. WHEN YOU PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH A WHEEL STANCHION THE BUMBER RIDES OVER THE STANCHION AND UPON BACKING OUT THE BUMBER DOES NOT RIDE BACK OVER THE STANCHION BUT RATHER CRACKS. THIS OCCURS ON STANCHIONS AS LOW AS TWO OR THREE INCHES AND IS VIRTUALLY UNAVOIDABLE SINCE IF YOU DO NOT RIDE OVER SOME STANCHIONS THE REAR OF THE CR STICKS TOO FAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE POSING A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
