New Toyota solara. Vehicle purchased may 30 2006. Front bumper fell off the car on July 7, 2006. Dealer noticed a very small depression near wheel well, and says that someone may have bumped the car in a parking lot. Referred me to private body shop where I was charged $586. 00. Director of local aaa inspected car. They believe that there is no way that the bumper should have detached. I was fortunate that it fell off in my driveway and not on the fwy. Aaa requested that I file ntsb report, and insurance adjuster is examining the car and photographing the bumper, which was held together by two little plastic brackets. Body shop says that some of the new Toyotas have body defects - things that come loose. He is wondering if there is a packaging and shipping problem that causes the bumpers to get loose. He added 6 clips and brackets to the bumper. The new front bumper is now much more stable than the original back bumper.
