“2010 Nissan Frontier. Consumer writes in regards to a bumper the consumer stated the bumper he purchased has a serious design flaw that LED to the failure of the power steering system. Due to the design of one of the mounting brackets, it made contact with a metal power steering line, and from the vibration, it rubbed through the line causing total failure of the power steering system. The location of the problem could not be seen before or during installation, but only with the bumper on, by looking through an opening less than two inches, at just the right angle, with a flash light.”
