This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The plastic tabs on the left side bumper cover (so called bumper) broke completely off when it appears that the L- shaped lip of the plastic shield under the car rub up against a parking curve. The bottom of the bumper or the shield underneath the car was not scratched to indicate that the car dragged on the curve. The dealer stated the L-shaped lip of the shield rubbed upon the curve and lifted the bumper causing the tabs on the left side of the bumper to break off. The car will need a new painted bumper installed to repair this problem as the plastic tabs are molded to the bumper cover. I have never had a vehicle that would do any damage if the car shield scraped a parking curve. I have never seen a toy battery operated car break like this if it hit or scraped an object. It appears if I ran over a bottle, piece of wood, gravel, etc.,in the road and it hit this shield, if could break this bumper cover. I did not pay over $30,000 for a toy? the shield (should be other than bendable plastic) under this vehicle needs to be bolted to the frame of the car and not the bumper cover. When I pushed the shield under the car, the whole bumper cover lifts up! this is not a vehicle that should be on the roads and highways. It is a safety hazard! this car will not meet the 0 miles per hours test in a crash under any federal regulations safety tests. How could the manufacturer be allowed to put this car on the market? I would like to discuss this matter further and, also, would like for NHTSA to have a representative inspect this car. Because it is so fragile, I am sort of afraid to drive it!.
