Front bumper is way too low and scraps and gets caught on curbs. This can result in the whole front bumper coming off. The first time this happened the local dealership replaced it for free. Now they just say watch how you park. The trouble is, you cant's tell when you drive over a curb, only when backing out, does the bumper catch and pull off. This is a defect the manufacturer should fix, especially since i know…

When parking against a concrete parking stop, if you pull the front tires all the way to the stop when you back out you just about pull the entire bumper off. This happened only a couple months after we bought the car. We pulled into the parking spot not thinking anything of it. We owned similar sized cars before. The grillwork pops out and snaps back in. We lost two of the three pieces of grillwork from not…

Front bumper separates from the vehicle when it touches a parking stop at low speed. Dealership personnel acknowledge that this has happened to many people but gave us no warning when we purchased the vehicle. The body shop we took it too, carriage auto body in margate, fl, believes the bumper is not manufactured and installed correctly and that it is not the fault of the driver.
