| Description of the problem | Scrapped a curb pulling into a parking spot. Bumper clips broke. Electrical tape inside the wheel well is holding it together just as good as the clip... Really tape. Read so many online reviews about people not hitting anything or traffic cones and they break. Imagine if you actually needed the bumper to protect you. I purchased this car thinking it was safe..... Really concerned if it is now. As the governing body you need to get involved. Hyundai knows its a problem, but they are not recalling it. This is a concern and with so many of the road there are a lot of lives at risk. |
