Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car sits too low to the ground. I am a cautious driver, but the bumper too easily scrapes when driving over bumps or slightly steep inclines/declines, as well as when parking, too easily to scrape over curbs. This has caused the bumper to crack on the left side, over the head light, completely detached from the car in along a 6 inch line. There is no way to fix without replacing the whole bumper/grill cover. I am in constant fear of the bumper falling off as I struggle to save enough money to replace. I truly regret purchasing this vehicle!”
