Hello, introducing myself to the forum. Just bought a 2012 Fusion SEL 3 weeks ago. It's with great sadness that my wife walked outside and notice this giant gash in the lower section of the front bumper next below the fog light.
There are absolutely no scuff marks or scratches that would indicate this was done by a car improperly parallel parking or my wife hitting something.
Since, i'm new to Ford and Ford Fusions, is this a known design issue by Ford? We're in Ohio and there have been sub zero temperatures. I'm wondering if the cold caused the bumper to split open itself? I find it particularly interesting it's a lateral split along the curve of bumper where it folds inward. Thoughts or speculations?
Thanks!
