ON 7/9/2017 @ 6:45PM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 90 THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON MY 2012 TOYOTA YARIS CAME UNHINGED AND WAS FLAPPING CAUSING THE RIGHT SIDE TO ALSO DETACH. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE BUMPER ARE NOT HOLDING! MY CAR IS IN GRATE/EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE A POORLY ASSEMBLED AND/OR DESIGNE DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURE SINCE I WAS DRIVE THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. I AM ON VACATION HEADED TO SOUTH DAKOTA FROM CALIFORNIA AND THIS PUTS MYSELF, PASSENGER, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES!
