“While driving front bumper guard came off. Front bumper came off while driving on the highway at highway speed. Consumer thinks the problem occurred as a result of a low front and a sunken driveway. Even though they never had this problem with other vehicles and visitors vehicles. Consumer noted when pulling into and backing out the driveway, there was scrapping sound. This cause some plastic connectors on the bumper guard to become dislodged. Consumer thinks that the highway wind caused the bolts come off and the bumper fell off. Consumer feels this is a dangerous design flaw. …”
