Bumpers are not secure. They use a plastic shielding that do not properly protect against bad accidents. Most vehicles barely have protective bumpers, putting people's lives at risk.

I have a 2015 Nissan rogue select and the paint is peeling and chipping tremendously, on the driver side the paint is chipping so bad on the backseat door that half of the door is gray from missing paint!
