Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“In most parking lots, low concrete curbs are placed in stalls to prevent cars from pulling too far forward. Typical curbs are about six inches in height. When parking in many lots it is necessary to pull a car forward so the front tires touch (or nearly touch) these curbs. Otherwise, the back end of the car will be too far out in the flow of traffic. The front bumper of the 2001 mercedes clk 430 is prone toward damage on these curbs when backing out of a parking stall. This occurs because of a lip on the lower portion of the front bumper that catches on the curb. …”
