Bumper is made of very thin plastic and cracked upon a light inpack with protruding snow/ice pile while pulling into driveway. Other cars would have a small dent. Bumper does not give enough protection for real accident. Cost was $1800. Safety concern.

The passenger-side front bumper and fender liner detached during a 15 mph swerve to avoid a traffic cone on day 3 of ownership. There was a light graze with no significant impact, but approximately 2 miles later, a noise prompted a safe pull-over. The component (bumper assembly and liner clips) failed completely, with clean detachment and a missing OEM clip. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. This put safety at risk, as the detachment could affect stability during highway driving. The dealer refused a full multi-point inspection and directed me to their vendor resulting in a $1,000 repair estimate without warranty coverage. Their report falsely claimed the vehicle was taken before inspection. No manufacturer, or insurance inspection has occurred. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared prior to the failure. Best assessment: This is a manufacturing defect in assembly and materials. A properly assembled bumper should withstand a light graze without detachment; the fact that it did indicates poor quality, impairing safety and value. The unrepaired status continues the risk.
